What are we doing? Seriously? It's time for Congress to stop this craziness. @democrats.org - do something!

Good, quick read. Some food for thought here.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

On this Day of Remembrance, we honor the 120,000 Japanese Americans unjustly imprisoned during WWII because of their heritage. Their resilience remind us to never forget the lessons of history. We will continue to fight for justice, equality, and civil rights for all.

I just spent the last hour reading these heartbreaking posts. As a former VA employee (I LOVED my job), I'm so disgusted. We are losing decades of research, care, leaders & public servants. It will takes years (prob decades) to fix this & that's if people decide they want to serve this country again

This was one of RFK Jr.’s first orders after being sworn in. Just an astonishing denial of science and will cause so much pain to the 45 million Americans facing mental health challenges.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

It only took less than 2 weeks for them to announce internment camps. Absolutely disgusting. I'm so ashamed of us.

Trump just withdrew the United States from the World Health Organization. The US is now the only country in the world besides Liechtenstein to not be a member of the organization.

You will be overwhelmed trying to keep up what the Trump administration is doing every minute. I focus on my state. Most of the horrible executive orders will run through state government. Start with them. Your sheriffs. Your county commissioners. State Rep. State Senator. Governor.

I hope all the people who voted for Trump are happy- he's about to ruin it for everyone...including you. This doesn't help the American people. It only helps big corps. #resistance

Today, "shock and awe" strategy—and it's our job to be neither shocked nor awed. We know what's coming. And it's our job to get ready to fight back.

A devastating loss. Cecile Richards was an extraordinary human being and leader. I was fortunate to know her and send my condolences to her loved ones. Cecile leaves behind a powerful legacy of activism and service on behalf of women everywhere.

The shutdown chaos is the full responsibility of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. If a multibillionaire says jump, the GOP says "how high?"—and working people suffer. As Democrats, let's remind the country that we're the ones fighting for a government that actually works for working people.

When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit. But how do companies make those profits? By denying care to many who need it. Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.

Good morning Blue Sky! Getting ready for another day and was thinking about this sunrise in Maine so I thought I'd share. Hopefully it makes your day a little better & gives you the inspiration to fight to make a better world (we are going to need every ounce for the next four years). #goodmorning

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Each year, the trans community loses too many lives, especially trans women of color, to hate and violence. More than ever, we must stand by our trans family and support them, hold space for them, and insist the scapegoating and targeting stop. Now.
