At the protest for veterans in DC.

More photos from the Veterans March in Olympia, WA today. The event was organized by my friend Alfie Alvarado, former Director of the Washington State Dept of Veteran Affairs (shown in first photo) 📸Mark Brown

Walz: I think they hate public education because it’s easier to run an authoritarian government if you don’t have a population that knows.

“He is hurting the people,” Carey said. “He’s hurting the very people that voted for him, let alone the rest of us — he does not care. And you don’t get to stand up there and let it happen if you are an elected official, regardless of where you’re from.” avlwatchdog.org/army-veteran...

The people Attorney General Bondi is calling “terrorists” have had no trial and no chance to defend themselves. We do not know who they are. Ignoring the Constitution does not make us safe. It puts us all in peril.

"It has nothing to do with the controversies surrounding owner Elon Musk and his chaotic attempts to dismantle much of the federal government. Instead, the site simply isn’t getting anywhere near the engagement levels it once did..." www.bostonglobe.com/2025/03/17/b...

YOU NEED TO SEE THIS! Please tag Rachel Maddow 10,000 times (I love her) then tag all the shitty people in the media that we do not love. We will not stop. We will NOT go away. Don’t be afraid of Trump. Be afraid of us. Do your fvcking job or expect us on your door step youtu.be/qM633wuZEFc?...

Canada’s GDP is around $2.1 trillion and El Salvador’s is around $30 billion. Which country does Trump admire more and feel is more powerful?

Ned Johnson, 82, first learned of his "death" when his wife received a condolence letter from their bank.

10 years ago, when I introduced a bill to make public colleges & universities tuition free, it was called "radical." Not today. Over 100 colleges & universities now offer free tuition to working class students. Now, we must expand that idea to all public colleges & universities.

Elon Musk thinks empathy is a a major problem for Western nations. So he has destroyed USAID so food already purchased has been left to rot which will increase famine in Africa.Life saving medicine is not being distributed to fight HIV in children. This is disgraceful.

Today, we have more income and wealth inequality than ever before. But the greed of the oligarchs never stops.  Now, in order to get huge tax breaks, they want to cut back on Social Security, Medicaid and veterans programs. Together we can stop them. We must stop them.

Hundreds of people gathered at Patriots Park right now in Tarrytown for a Stop the Cuts Rally — holding Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) accountable for his vote to decimate Medicaid.

It is unconscionable that Geisinger nurses are not guaranteed quality health care by their employer. Geisinger: do the right thing. Get back to the table and give your nurses the same quality of care that they provide to patients.

Hi bluesky! I'm Jessica Denson, the woman who first defeated Trump in court when he was president last time. His mass censorship weapon of choice went down on my watch. I'm not taking this lying down. Who's with me?

Vets & Supporters are showing up in DC! Show your support if you can. #3E #USprotests #DCprotests #14thAmendent Salute to Veterans Fighting for democracy!!

The Department of Justice (But Only for Elon). Btw no matter what they do, Tesla is in a death spiral of its own making.

Tragic and heinous

Just saw a Kristi Noem commercial spending taxpayer money to promote herself and thank Trump. If we want to DOGE something how about that corrupt garbage?

Judge Slams Trump’s Mass Layoffs—Orders Reinstatement • Second federal judge blocks Trump’s purge of probationary employees. • Judge Bredar: Admin’s claim of “poor performance” is frivolous. • Ruling: Trump can fire—but must follow the law.

Marching for Veterans: National Mall, D.C., Friday • 83,000 VA jobs on the line. • Federal workers, Social Security, Ukraine—this affects you too. • March 14 is a stand for democracy. If you care about veterans and democracy, this is your fight.
