🚨🚨 WISCONSIN 🚨🚨 Early voting starts TODAY! Susan Crawford is committed to standing up for everyday people, while her opponent Brad Schimel sued to take away health care from nearly a million Wisconsinites. Vote for Judge Crawford by April 1st! No better time than right now. #DemVoice1

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

Yesterday was a tough day. Many folks were mad as hll, disheartened & frustrated. It's easy to focus on the Senators who let us down, but let's not forget about the Senators who did the right thing. I made this graphic last night because I wanted to focus on the good Senators who fought for us. 🔊🎵

AMERICANS ON SOCIAL SECURITY WILL DIE AS A RESULT OF THESE CUTS TO PHONE SERVICES: “A huge number of Americans do not have access to computers..or have low levels of education or English proficiency. You’re talking about people w/disabilities.” - Nancy Altman www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

closing the Department of Education, everyone working remotely, probably cutting up to 50% of their workers. Yeah - this will play out well in the long run. I'm heartsick - especially how this will affect our children with disabilities. www.npr.org/2025/03/11/n...

#ProudBlue #Voices4Victory Brad Schimel, Elon Musk, and trump are aligned on an extreme agenda to gut reproductive rights & attack healthcare. This attack is on all of us, and our first chance to fight back is here in Wisconsin. Help elect Judge Susan Crawford on April 1st.

Putting this out there in case any federal employees are scrolling through. You aren’t powerless. You aren’t alone. There are some who want you to speak out & can help. #DemVoice1

Oh yeah! I love this!! #canada #ilovecanada #usalovescanada www.youtube.com/watch?v=feQN...

Reminder: Amazon Blackout—starting tomorrow. Amazon ❌, Whole Foods ❌ off the to-do list!

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

Being kind means responding to the needs of others. People can be kind — no matter how old or how young they are. - Mr. Rogers

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Kindness - is that so hard?

The economic black out is tomorrow. I'm participating.

Murphy: "The destruction of our democracy is part of this story ... this is super unpopular, what they are doing. Nobody wants their healthcare to disappear ... so how do you get away with it? You try to destroy our democracy. You try to crush dissent. You threaten members of Congress with arrest."

With the all the attacks on our community I thought I’d post this again. Might save a life.

Government employees have started a website to debunk the attacks on them! #CivilServants www.wethebuilders.org?utm_source=s...

This cartoon by @mluckovich.bsky.social is getting banned on Twitter. Because of course it is.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Great - VPJD is now labeled an extremist. Can they do that for the rest of the administration (including Elroy) and ban them from Europe?

Hegseth, Gabbard, Vought, Kennedy... they're in. Most likely Patel and McMahon (education) will get in too. I am sick to my stomach...

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.

Ooo this is a good one ☺️

Go Pritzker! Glad he's our Gov!

ATTN: it might be a good idea to freeze your credit with all three agencies now that Musk has all your info. I froze mine long ago and it’s pretty easy to unfreeze temporarily if you need to.

Rationality 'bounces off the wall of stupidity' and cruelty. Lawrence says it straight and clear. youtu.be/hBf0N8SU43Y?...

Read this full thread of words that can cause grants to be pulled. The only thing not included is 'white' and 'male'

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

Do yourself and democracy a favor. Support independent media.
