The cruelty from this administration is in part to distract from their rampant incompetence. They want you outraged so you forget that they “mistakenly” fired scientists combatting bird flu and the experts that maintain our nuclear weapons.

Letting our national parks deteriorate is unpatriotic. This summer will be a mess. Long lines to get in. No maintenance. Tons of trash. Rescue services diminished. No services and education programs. And why?

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

Proud to have voted and endorsed @kenmartin.bsky.social for DNC Chair, and today in Texas, he showed exactly why I did. His Organizing Everywhere tour is about action: meeting organizers, having tough but real conversations, and proving that Democrats win by showing up everywhere. Thank you, Ken.

"Over 200,000 students with special needs could lose access to $533 million in federal funding that helps pay for their education." Thank you @kellybreenmi.bsky.social for joining us to make the danger of a Trump-McMahon agenda clear. Our kids and our communities can't afford this radical plan!

Today is President Abraham Lincoln’s birthday! Lincoln a staunch defender of“wokeisim” “DEI” abolition of slavery, the U.S. Constitution, & Declaration of Independence wouldn’t have any part of the felon, modern GOP, or oligarchs, just like biblical Jesus Christ wouldn’t recognize Christofascisists!

Trump hopes Americans don’t realize what the CFPB does. So I wrote this piece on why CFPB exists, the billions it has saved us, & why dismantling it devastates working people. This is class warfare & we cannot afford to lose. No paywall. Please read & share: www.qasimrashid.com/p/cfpb-is-su...
