THiS!!! "If you haven't been poor, don't legislate for the poor"! Rep Simon hits the nail on the head with this one. This is whats wrong with the U.S. today.

Yes, but they never will because everyone is in on the grift. D's and R's

Hey Democrats. Let me make this simple. We want a democracy that works. Not one that just works for the rich. Not one that works for large corporations. Not one that works for insiders. One that works for all of us! It's that simple.

Everyone keeps saying that they can't say what they hope happens to the ICE agents who are doing this but I can - they're clearly engaged in gross violations of the law and I want every Democratic candidate from here to infinity to pledge to help prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law

As we watch people being shipped to El Salvador without due process; we need to remember that Auschwitz was in Poland, not Germany.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Everyone should be in the streets about this. Even with all of the other bullshit going on, this situation is the most dire.

Who did this?

I will be out protesting. Senator Booker showed us the way. Will you join us? Will you add your voice to the call for change? #Handsoff

Regardless of anything else about the Wisconsin race, it's just a relief to learn that money can't always buy elections

I don’t know if Cory Booker’s record-breaking speech will change anything, but I deeply appreciate that someone stood up and did something. That matters. We need to rally around that, because action, no matter how small, is better than silence. #SomeoneDidSomething

I would love to see every Democrat senator take a stab at this! One after the other, bring the senate to a halt. Nothing happens until the Republicans agree to take back their power.

I am happy and proud to have Senator Booker fighting for us. I have been listening to his speech since he started, along with millions of others. Thank you, Senator Booker, for standing up and fighting!

Hey Georgia, you guys good with this?! www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2vrbHkW/

I plan on being there! Will you join us?

Does anyone else feel completely abandoned by *both* parties? I'm really beginning to believe that we need to look critically at our election procedures and start talking about other options. Rank choice voting or *something*! We need other legitimate options when it comes to our federal parties.

This shows that "We the People" do, in fact, have power.

"In a town with just over 1,000 residents, hundreds of people packed Belmont's Community Building Saturday for a town hall hosted by Democratic Rep. Mark Pocan. The building was filled to capacity with people even waiting outside and peeking through the windows..." www.wkow.com/news/politic...

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations. When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

This. They are being so blatant with zero push back from the other party. So frustrating as a civilian with no power and party leadership who refuse to listen!!

Holy Fucking yes!! This!! Just talk to people

Hey NYC Democrats! This is what a good mayor looks like. Could we maybe, take some notes?? www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2QrrYNm/

Why the FUCK aren't the Democrats protesting!? DO SOMETHING
