Called my maga congress people using the 5 Calls app. My nonprofit is losing funding left and right. Sucks! In the app you can call about what concerns you the most and it gives the background of the topic along the script and numbers to call. Remember Sis. Obama said “do something.” #thepowerofone

I called my maga congress people to say they need to do something about this madness. If their loved one was illegally detained they would be up in arms!. And the thought of sending US citizens to a foreign nation as prisoners…beyond infuriating. I called using the 5 Calls app.

Just wanted to get back to all of you who helped share this message, all of the constitutional amendments failed. Which is great news. White supremacy was put down and I wanted to say thank you for sharing the thread. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

Trump’s top security officials were caught openly sharing classified information and putting our troops at risk, yet he refuses to take action. Why is Trump afraid to hold his team accountable?

Don’t fall into a lull. The people in charge of the government seek to inflict the greatest amount of pain for their greedy and hateful gains. I called my maga reps today and about USDA funding cut for food banks, schools and farmers. These people are diabolical.#DoSomething

What ever happened to Trump's promise to make the price of eggs go down??? They've only gone up when you can find some. Newsmax really can't say much about it so they just... gave me the floor to discuss egg prices. Maybe I'm wearing them down with my frittatas?

About 30 activists held a peaceful protest at an Israeli weapons contractor in Rosslyn, VA this morning. 24 activists were detained. Their phones were confiscated and, we can presume, are being searched. www.arlnow.com/2025/03/31/p...

Someone explain to me why it's illegal to give an old lady a bottle of water as she's waiting on line for hours in the sun to vote, but it's totally cool for an ultra-billionaire to bribe voters with million dollar checks in Wisconsin.

I called my maga senators today. It always feels like it won’t make a difference but I call anyway because I refuse to give away my freedom. I plan to fight for democracy until the end and give them hell along the way. I used the 5Calls app which gives me the numbers to call and the script.

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

We got a Costco membership for the first time in our lives today. They asked why & I said because treat your workers well, you value diversity, & you didn’t cave in to authoritarian demands. He said: “We’ve been getting lots of folks saying that, thanks for joining.” Who needs a gallon of ketchup?

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

Democrats in Washington have been reactive - not proactive - in creating a strategy to counter the Trump agenda. We can’t continue to be caught flat-footed. I’ve got a solution. Check out my first Substack below. open.substack.com/pub/wileynic...

I used the 5 Calls app to call my maga congress people. I told them to do something to protect Medicaid and to check the executive branch. So often it seems that my small efforts won’t matter. (1 of 2)

Surprisingly, we find ourselves thanking a Trump appointee—so thank you, Judge. Judge Carl Nichols of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia announced after a hearing that he would issue a temporary restraining order to halt the imminent administrative leave of 2,200 USAID employees.
