Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Dear @Doge If there is nothing to hide. Hide nothing

Our United Airlines pilot made sure to emphasize *Mexico* when he said we'd be flying over the Gulf of *Mexico* today. It's the little things. Microdose hope.

they are mostly targeting black employees so this is quite literally just a repeat of woodrow wilson’s segregationist purge of the federal government

Yaasss!!

There is still beauty in this world

For the love of all that is good in this world do NOT buy books from Amazon. Cancel your Amazon accounts. Go to the Library (in person or online ebooks!) and support local bookstores instead. Please #BookSky don’t be ambivalent

Crockett: “I’m tired of the white tears. If you’re competent you’re not concerned. When you compare me to Greene/Boebert there’s no comparison… The only ppl crying are mediocre white boys beaten out by people that had to work much harder.” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DFp8K0M...

It’s hard to keep up with the constant evil and stupidity, which is by design. It’s meant to wear us down. Fuck it.

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence. He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials. It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Gosh, I remember when we had an actual president instead of a loudmouth bully who won't take responsibility for his actions.

I’m so grateful to be sworn in for a second term in Texas 30! Thank you to the nearly 1,000 friends, family, constituents, and elected officials who joined me for Tuesday’s swearing-in. I’m honored by your support and will keep fighting for Texas 30.

Just a reminder to head to the health department and make sure you are caught up on all of your vaccinations…

BREAKING: Senator Dick Durbin just destroyed Kash Patel for his comments calling Police officers at the Capitol on January 6th “Cowards in Uniform”. Kash Patel belongs nowhere near the FBI.

CNN MAY HAVE KISSED THE 🍊🤡’s RING. BUT JIM ACOSTA SURE DID NOT. Best wishes to Mr. Acosta’s future ventures. He is one fine journalist who seeks the truth.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

We have their playbook. It’s Project 2025. Why do you think coaches watch film of opposing teams? So they know how to defend the field and keep the other team from scoring. Democrats, you have their playbook. Let’s use it against them.

I have never seen anyone flip as quickly as Robert F. Kennedy did on the question of whether a woman has the right to control her own body.

Really love this cartoon from the great Michael De Adder. The outpouring of support coming in has been truly amazing! Thanks everybody!

Since Felon47 has taken it upon himself to call Canada the 51st state, renamed the Gulf of Mexico, talks of buying Greenland & taking over the Panama Canal with force, we have decided to rename the Great Lakes. We will follow suit with Denmark by telling the Orange Blob to f^ck off ❤️🇨🇦

"Donald Trump's administration is lying to you." Gov. J.B. Pritzker slammed the White House for saying the freeze wouldn’t affect Head Start and Medicaid. This is how we do it. Call out Trump’s lies to the camera, bold, strong action. Hold him accountable, every single time.

STEPHEN MILLER: Does anyone believe that an unaccountable career bureaucrat should be able to approve vast sums of money for the projects that they personally agree with? JAKE TAPPER: I'm literally asking about Meals on Wheels. I don't know what you're talking about.

JFC. Elizabeth Warren points out all of RFK Jr's lies about his trip to American Samoa and asks if he feels any remorse that more than 70 people died after he pushed lies. His response? "No. Absolutely not." Vile man.

This is a great question for all of congress to think about. Hypothetically,If FEMA goes away, what happens to home owners and other insurance rates ? Climate change looks like it will make rates so high, home insurers will want equity in your house as a way of holding down rates

Looking at the expenditures for many of these 3rd party PACs from 2024 that raise money from grass roots activists is infuriating. I am prepared to make A LOT of enemies when they gear up again for 2026 by raging against this corrupt machine. Donate to candidates directly.

:))

John Fitzgerald Kennedy would be smiling lovingly at his daughter Caroline and her decision to rise to the occasion. I know I am.

At start of RFK Jr. hearing, Sen. Ron Wyden calls the anti-vaxxer a conspiracy theory-monger who embraces “quacks and charlatans” and who “chases money and influence wherever they lead, even if it means the death of children and other vulnerable people.”

Damn! Senator Warren just exposed RFK Jr as the grifter he is, how he shills for law firms who file vaccine related lawsuits; RFK Jr earns millions from those suits. RFK Jr refused to say he would stop receiving those payouts for his services to shady law firms #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Senator Ron Wyden at RFK Jr.'s Senate confirmation hearing for HHS Secretary: "The nominee wrote a book saying that people had been mislead into believing that measles is a deadly disease." He's unfit.

Turns out egg prices were only a justification not to vote for a woman of color.

Let Denmark cook.

How can anyone in their right mind ignore this letter from Caroline Kennedy about her cousin, RFK Jr.?

Sen Chris Murphy (D-CT) just now: “You could literally walk down the street and the first 100 people you’d find would be less dangerous as the head of HHS than Robert F Kennedy Jr. He will get people killed”

Handful of rural Georgia Republicans join with Dems to push Medicaid expansion www.rawstory.com/handful-of-r...

LFG Senator Bernie Sanders!! Bernie burns RFK Jr’s blatant flip flopping on his so-called pro-vax stance when RFK Jr is SELLING onesies on his website that read: UNVAXXED UNAFRAID and NO VAX. NO PROBLEM FOH with the gaslighting.

Go Selena đź‘Ź

As chilling a meme as I have seen. But I agree.

RFK Jr. is far more than just an “anti-vaxxer.” Over the years, he’s made countless outrageous statements on a wide range of topics. We’ve compiled 10 of the wildest clips—though even that barely scratches the surface.

Catherine Cortez Masto just casually exposing that RFK Jr. has no idea what HHS does or how it works.

BEHOLD! Bluesky has hit 30 MILLION users! We’re here to stay!

Wow RFK Jr. just perjured himself on live tv

remember stuff like this when they tell you that diversity means a lowering of standards

That child has more compassion than half this shitty country. đź’Ż

What would I do? Senate, House, DNC & Dem Govs EACH need to have a Rapid React WarRoom staffed 24/7/365. They need to have a rotating Senator, Rep, & Gov on call all times to post video, TikTok, statements & do interviews. Pressers are old, tired & mostly useless. Welcome to 2025.

The Trump administration has instructed organizations in other countries to stop disbursing HIV medications purchased with U.S. aid, even if the drugs have already been obtained and are sitting in local clinics. Because cruelty is the fucking point.

@jimacosta.bsky.social confirms he will exit CNN after nearly two decades with the network, as we first reported last night in @status.news: "It is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant," Acosta said.
