There are more of us than there are of them..... #Resist

BREAKING: We closed down Tesla’s Manhattan storeroom, again. What did you do on your Thursday lunch break? #TeslaTakedown #BoycottTesla #EndOligarchy #Resist

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

Thugs.

I wonder if a higher percentage of people in Europe are paying attention to Trump’s demagoguery than in America. Maybe they can help school us. Extreme governments require extreme rejection.

“We have a would-be despot in the White House. But even with a rotting Constitution on the verge of crisis, this is still a Republic, and the people are still sovereign. The task, then, is to make this clear to those in power who would like to pretend otherwise.” www.nytimes.com/2025/03/15/o...

Trump and Musk are going after Social Security, Medicaid, the VA, and public education. In what universe, in what world, in what religion is it morally acceptable to cut programs for hungry children in order to reward the wealthy?

Wow. This is a pitch perfect takedown of Trumpism. Check your sexism and prepare to listen to wisdom: clear, sharp and simple.

It seems like all Harris campaigned on was abortion rights, with a handful of tragic stories on the subject. I haven’t heard a single thing about abortion rights since she lost. How the Dems could have been so out of touch with what mattered most to the electorate, I’ll never understand.

In light of the proposed travel ban Trump is planning against black and brown people, I propose that the tourism dept in the Canadian government develop a cracker of a campaign to attract all would-be travellers to the US, black, brown and white. Travel Boycott USA. Next stop, 🇨🇦 !

Trump to ban black and brown travellers to the US on the grounds that their govts are corrupt. Uh… pretty sure ours is too. “They are generally Muslim-majority or otherwise nonwhite, poor and have governments that are considered weak or corrupt. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/14/u...

Like I said. Walz: “There is not going to be some charismatic leader riding in. It’s going to be people… demanding change.” (2nd half of clip)

Not going to spend time relitigating this. Clear what I think. But this is like a boxer preparing for a fight thinking about all the ways he could get hurt, where he gets hit. That guys already lost. Anyone knows that. And that, for all the intricate arguments on both sides, is what we had here.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

The only Trump enablers that really matter are the American public. Forget what Schumer has done about Trump. What have we done about Trump? We need to stop waiting for some “dear leader” to rescue us. It’s. clearly not gonna happen.

The problem with Chuck is that he came out and made any shutdown a Democratic Party action by saying he had to vote Yes to avoid it. He should have never suggested a shutdown was inevitable, when it would have always been dependent upon Republicans choosing to let it happen.

I don’t think they ever ask themselves “What would Jesus do?” He was pretty clear on the tolerance, compassion, charity, anti-materialism and pacifism stuff.

ok, so basically I am trying to make this post go viral.

No one has a crystal ball, but we know where Trump is ultimately taking us if we don’t push back at some point. Let’s push back now, early and hard.

Amen.

One of these things is not like the others

A government shutdown is not “much, much worse” if it means uninformed Trump voters and non-voters start paying attention.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

New Yorkers: Call Sen. Gillibrand’s office to vote NO on cloture and NO on the Republican Spending Bill. They vote in the morning. ☎️: (202) 224-4451

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

“Dr. King once made the observation that, although everyone may not see it at the moment, the time is always right to do what’s right. This week, House Democrats did what was right...” Jeffries said. www.cnn.com/2025/03/13/p...

TOMORROW!!! If you aren't near Washington DC, be at your state capitol at noon local time. Let's do this!! ❤️🇺🇸

Thank you, Governor Walz, for *doing something* and for showing some leadership in this current horrifying vacuum of moral courage. www.cnn.com/2025/03/12/p...

A complex and confusing scheme whose myriad corrupt dimensions would take, I don’t know, a second-grader to sniff out

The world will do what low information Americans and Republicans won’t. Push back. 🙏🏽 www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Don’t be totally distracted by Tump’s love affair with Putin. He is actually busy handing world dominance to China.

Huh.

So many heinous acts are being committed on a daily basis that I had forgotten the earlier crap, like the fact that we’ve left the WHO.

I was pleased to meet today with Dr. Tedros, head of the World Health Organization. In order to combat future pandemics there must be global cooperation. Trump’s withdrawal from the WHO puts us, and people around the world, at greater risk of preventable deaths.

Grotesque.

Pin this sucker to the front page of CNN indefinitely. www.cnn.com/2025/03/11/p...

Lead the way, Virginia.

Great conservative take on the inevitable failure of everything Trump is doing. Explore this gift article from The New York Times. You can read it for free without a subscription. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/11/o...

About half of all births are covered by Medicaid. Over a third of all children are covered by Medicaid. More than half of all nursing home residents are covered by Medicaid. Republicans in Congress are making a big mistake targeting these families’ health care to pay for tax cuts for the rich.
