The sign of an unhealthy democracy is people living in fear. Right now, millions of Americans are living in fear across the country. Fear they will lose their jobs, livelihoods, and everything they hold dear. We cannot allow our communities to be terrorized. We must continue to fight back!

At what point do leaders in the GOP band together (since they seem to lack courage individually) & say enough is enough? The party of Reagan becomes the tool of Putin if they don’t, especially after last night.

When the wreckage and dust of what these people are doing to our country has settled and the people have finally had enough to throw these jackals out of office, we will never forget the people who enabled it, despite their protestations they weren’t willing accomplices. Never.

“This is someone who made his money by ripping off American taxpayers and who shouldn’t come anywhere near a position of authority over tax dollars,” Sen. Ron Wyden told @propublica.org's @peterelkind.bsky.social about Schuler. “He’ll fit right in with the Trump administration.”

NOW! Boston Globe: “…more than 19,000 people have contacted Run for Something, which supports young Democratic candidates for office, since Election Day 2024, compared with just 15,000 in all of 2017. Refreshing the party’s bench will take time, but may be more valuable than just another march.”

Yeah, this is pretty obvious but worth stressing. Also, the idea that techbro coders with no experience in government are best able to identify and root out “fraud” is laughable

Quoting Bernie Sanders: “Trumpism will not be defeated by politicians inside the DC beltway. It will only be defeated by millions of Americans, in every state in this country, coming together in a strong, grassroots movement which says…NO to huge tax breaks for the richest people in our country.”

Our communities’ sacred lands and waters are NOT FOR SALE. That’s why we are fighting to protect our air, land and water from this reckless agenda to open them to drilling, mining, and rollbacks of critical programs that used to be bipartisan. We’ve come too far to go back.
