Join us for the Economic Blackout on February 28!

AOC speaking to a thousand NYC federal workers and allies about the urgency of resisting Musk 🔥🔥🔥

Economic Blackout February 28 12 noon to midnight. Shut shit down! 👇

I'm in. February 28, 2025!

New in PN: AOC shows how to fight back and stand strong "Prominent figures standing up can undermine the climate of fear that MAGA relies on to impose terror. AOC’s work on behalf of her constituents and refusal to be intimidated are models of resistance other Democrats would do well to imitate."

Please consider joining us and participate in the Economic Blackout on February 28. 💙🙏

CALIFORNIA — ex NFL punter Chris Kluwe arrested for civil disobedience protesting at the city council in Huntington Beach, where the council planned a “MAGA” display on a plaque at the library. Context: www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootb...

Elon Musk Is Trying to Buy Another Election Not satisfied with controlling the federal government, the shadow president’s political action committee is suddenly spending big on a crucial Wisconsin Supreme Court election. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Did you know that Medicare does NOT pay for long-term care. NOPE. 2/3s of longterm care for your parents is paid by MEDICAID. If you want Medicaid cut, your parents wiil need to move into your house when they need long-term care & YOU will be providing it.

They're going to cut Medicaid through the budget reconciliation. Johnson can spare only one vote. Make those calls.

Economic Blackout Friday February 28. Spread the message.

They were never going to lower prices. They never cared about egg prices. It's the same lie as CRT. They want us chasing their bullshit while the real mission is to disassemble the government so the rich can get richer. They are on a mission to destroy it all. It's beyond a coup.

A lot of people now see that Musk is a vile extremist. But many still struggle to accept that he is also an oblivious fool. Once you actually listen to what he has to say about the world, you realize it’s all faux-visionary nonsense layered on top of profound ignorance.

Don't let the headlines about Judge Chutkan's TRO denial scare you. Here's a GREAT breakdown of her ruling: www.instagram.com/reel/DGPCi9w...

When former VP Pence is the one sounding the alarm….

Oralè Resisters Thousands DC Protest Firing of Federal workers! #FederalWorkers #FERS #AFGE #USDemocracy

Protesting in Seattle. It's pretty big. There are 3 protests happening simultaneously. This one is in support of Federal workers

- Who are we? CFPB! - What do we do? FIGHT FOR YOU Consumer Financial Protection Bureau workers, who were illegally fired, brave snow & wind in Chicago's Federal Plaza to protest Trump/Musk's shutdown. #SaveCFPB

If you live in Maryland, there's a hearing tomorrow (2/18 at 11:00 AM) on this proposed Mask Ban Bill, HB 1081 Reach out to your Maryland state electeds and tell them to oppose it, please mgaleg.maryland.gov/mgawebsite/L...

URGENT REQUEST: We are looking for federal workers impacted by DOGE to CALL IN to the People’s Hotline and share your stories! America needs to hear from you, and we have the platform to amplify your voice. Pass it on:

Laws, not Kings: Rally at Rep. Budzinski's office, Champaign, Illinois #USdemocracy #NoKings #RuleOfLaw

Oralè Resisters Thousands DC Protest Firing of Federal workers! #FederalWorkers #FERS #AFGE #USDemocracy

US Federal workers rallied outside the Department of Health and Human Services in D.C. Friday in protest of oligarch Musk and DOGE. "Musk attempts to drain critical services and enrich himself at the cost of working people" #3E #EndOligarchy

Some anti-Elon Musk protest art

In 2023 w/volunteer help, we elected Janet Protasiewicz to the WI Supreme Court, which resulted in increased voter rights, undoing gerrymandering, etc. But w/a liberal justice retiring, all that is at risk, which is why we need to elect Susan Crawford on 4/1. Here’s how to help🧵

The first big election that could put a real check on the Trump agenda is the Wisconsin Supreme Court race on April 1st. You can take strategic action right now. Join us in volunteering or donating to help liberal Judge Susan Crawford win. Join us now: swingleft.org/wi

worth saying again these these unilateral cuts are illegal. neither trump nor musk has the authority to unilaterally slash appropriated funds.

Trump’s indiscriminate purge of federal workers will not make Americans healthy and decimates our ability to combat disease. More people will be at risk because of the wrecking ball being taken to our health and food and drug safety agencies.

WATCH: REP. MELANIE STANSBURY put the GOP on BLAST AGAIN—calling them out for staying silent while Elon Musk throws the country into chaos, teenage coders steal American’s data, and Trump racks up 55 lawsuits over his power grab. Where’s the accountability?

46,000 Native students are served by BIE & Tribal Schools. Funding these schools is a U.S. Tribal trust & treaty responsibility. We’re fighting back against Trump’s EO on school choice. The federal government must uphold its end of the bargain. tinyurl.com/fchztue3

Hey there,Congress and the Press: Do you see what we see? Musk isn’t cutting waste, he’s redirecting government money into his own pockets. His companies are cashing in on government contracts while essential public jobs are eliminated. DOGE is a billionaire’s dream and a taxpayer’s nightmare.

If Susan Crawford wins in the nonpartisan-in-name-only race against Brad Schimel, there would be a liberal majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court until at least 2028. www.therecombobulationarea.news/p/wisconsins...

Republicans could FLIP the WI Supreme Court. The consequences would be devastating for voting rights, reproductive freedom & the rule of law. We can't let it happen! VOTE FOR ➡️Susan Crawford by April 1! #DemVoice1

Rep. Jamie Raskin is Not Hiding. He Leads From the Front: Raskin Condemns Trump DOJ's 'Illegal Intimidation' of Anti-Corruption Division www.commondreams.org/news/raskin-...

UPDATE: We got Judge Lauren King's opinion backing her Friday TRO. She finds that the anti-trans order trying to limit gender-affirming medical care likely violates separation of powers, equal protection, and the Tenth Amendment. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Judge Susan Crawford shares our Wisconsin values. She has a long history of upholding the rule of law and keeping our communities safe. We're proud to endorse Judge Crawford to continue her lifetime of service to our Constitution as our next Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice.

I’m not a politician and I don’t have big money Super PACs supporting me like my opponent does. I’m a single dad and a public school teacher humbly asking for your support in the first federal election of 2025. Please consider chipping in to help me win! secure.actblue.com/donate/weil-...

Gay Valimont running for FLCD 1, on 4/1/25. We need to put more democrats in the congress so we can control the purse strings and stop #Felon47 from cutting Medicare,Medicaid, & Social Security to give the 1% a huge tax cut. #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue
