No kings. Not ever. Saturday, June 14

"Save Social Security. Save Medicaid. Fire Elon Musk." – Congressman @repcasar.bsky.social

When Trump... -Holds a private dinner for his crypto coin buyers  -Promotes Teslas on the White House driveway on behalf of a multibillionaire who spent $277M backing him -Uses state visits to advance his hotel business It's corruption, plain and simple.

Each week, The Contrarian selects "Undaunted" individuals working to defend democracy This week's spotlight: Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, Sen. Cory Booker and all who joined them for their collective act of undaunted, empathetic leadership on the Capitol steps

The only strategy known to work against a fascist power grab is widespread and diverse pro-democracy organizing. We win by showing up for each other and with each other.

🚨NEW: Donald Trump has called on the House of Representatives to expel Congressman Al Green. RETWEET if you stand with Rep. Al Green against Trump and the GOP!

The lethal high-powered rifles I carried during my military service were designed for war.   Not our streets. Not our neighborhoods. Certainly not our schools.   Senate Democrats introduced legislation to revive the nationwide assault weapons ban.   It’s long overdue.

Sen. Ossoff: "The erosion of civil rights and civil liberties in this country right now is happening at so swift a rate, it is unlike anything we've seen in American history."

We need this

Hey media. Cory Booker and Hakeem Jeffries are doing a sit in on U.S. Capitol steps. From social media I've that Chris Coons, Brian Schatz and Amy Klobuchar have joined them. Am sure there have been &d will be others. Do your damn job & cover this instead of bitching that Dems aren't speaking out.

It is sickening to see Trump turn the United States of America into Putin’s agent and errand boy in this negotiation.

Remember, Social Security is not technically part of the budget deficit. It is designed to be self supporting. Republicans just kept “borrowing” from it to pay for wars in Iraq, etc. while giving tax cuts to the rich. Now they don’t want to pay it back. #SaveSocialSecurity AND safety net programs.

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

Pope Francis needs to diss RFK Jr. next.

This should lead to criminal charges against Leland Dudek and the people at DOGE who did this. I’m deadly serious about it. They committed fraud by deliberately marking people dead who were alive.

This Is What The Agreement States And We Should Honor It!

Ending the government's free, easy-to-use tax filing service means giant tax prep companies get a big boost while working families pay more.   That's what "efficiency" means to Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

Congressional Republicans hope you aren’t focusing on their unpopular plans to slash taxes for billionaires and billionaire corporations while gutting health care for families. So I don’t think they’d want you to share this story:

Crazy that four dems voted for the save act... Voter suppression.

Share this everywhere. I believe there should be immigration enforcement. I believe there shld be an immigration enforcement agency. But this one is simply lawless to the core. That fact is just inescapable.

We found the voter fraud!!!!!

Prices are up & economic warning signs are flashing red. Congressional Republicans need to stand up & vote no to Trump’s Tariff Tax increases. Quiet opposition won’t cut it. Time for bipartisan action ASAP.
