Where is our humanity?

Rather than attended the dignified transfer of the remains of four U.S. soldiers killed on his watch, Trump will be dining with his Saudi golf buddies.

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy. Third time’s the charm, I guess.

If you're protesting on Saturday, please wear a cap and mask to protect your identity from the cult. Also, it was suggested to me that you should write the phone number of the ACLU First Defense Legal Aid on your arm. That number is 1-800-529-7374 in case anything happens.

This was….five months ago

AMEN!

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

Great job, Madden!!!

California Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas (D-Salinas): "there are currently more kids with measles in Texas than there are transgender athletes in the NCAA. That's the epidemic we should all be worried about."

The U.S is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We should not have the highest rate of child poverty of nearly every major country on earth. We should have the lowest.   It's time to end this international embarrassment & create an economy that works for all.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

The U.S. has generally kept tariffs low, but a few domestic industries have long been protected by import taxes and other trade barriers. They offer clues about how Trump's new tariffs might work out.

From the “pro-life” party…

Welcome to all our new followers! 💚

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

⚡️FIGHT THE OLIGARCHY RALLY ⚡️ STARTING TOMORROW. Nevada. Arizona. Colorado. You, me, and Bernie. Dem and GOP districts. ❤️💙 See you there 💪🏽🌞

Ask yourself: Why would anyone who wasn’t an asset of the Russian government do this? Why would any decent human being do this?

Meanwhile in Peoria, IL

If you thought Trump and his sycophants have forgotten about elections, you are wrong. The GOP voter suppression and election subversion war machine is already preparing for the next election.

Reminder: DOGE isnt real. Its a fake department. Fugazi

Sign the petition to demand Mahmoud Khalil be immediately released and threats against his legal status be dropped! And call on members of Congress and university leaders to protect and defend the right for students to organize and protest. sign.moveon.org/petitions/fr...

This is the way…

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!

The second German kidnapped and abused by the US Gestapo for no reason other than being in the US legally. Everyone stop going to the US right now, this is not a drill. www.thedailybeast.com/german-touri...

We don't spend a penny on marketing. It's all word of mouth for @costplusdrugs.com That's how we keep prices so low. Please spread the word !

hey neighbors what are we doing April 21

Michael Douglas on his IG: "We're allies with the Russians? They've been trying to destroy us for 75 years."

A lot can happen in five months. 🇺🇸

True facts.

Sen. Mark Kelly - U.S. Navy captain, NASA astronaut, and combat pilot who flew 39 combat missions during the Gulf War is a “traitor” says Elon Musk - a South African bastard of apartheid and "bone spurs" draft dodger...

When Elon Musk started recruiting for DOGE in November, he described the work as “tedious” and noted that “compensation is zero.” But WIRED has learned that some DOGE staffers are drawing six-figure salaries from the agencies they’re dismantling. wrd.cm/3XA0IHP

This is Marceline. She was found as a stray with a large, painful mass on her jaw. The mass is growing rapidly and needs to be removed as soon as possible to ensure she doesn't completely lose the ability to eat. You can help her by donating below ❤️‍🩹 15outof10.org/marceline

To the people in the comments saying this is insane or stupid…maybe they’re just trying to find a tiny bit of happiness and joy in our current fucking hellscape of doom.

Make no mistake, this will happen daily until January 20, 2029 ...

THIS!!

No amount of letter writing has persuaded my lawmakers, but one thing has slowed them down: Showing up in numbers that can’t be hidden or explained away. Marching in the streets. Testifying by the hundreds. Letting lawmakers know we see them and we know. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...
