From Robert Reich... "...political parties do not lead. The anti-war movement and the Civil Rights Movement didn’t depend on the Democratic Party for their successes. They depended on a mass mobilization of all of us who accepted the responsibilities of being American."

Not only is this kind of thing morally treasonable & unpatriotic, it’s just darn weird to fawn over & support one dude over the country, our laws, and our Constitution! Thanks for this sadly perfect quote for these authoritarian times, Teddy!

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

The Senate just voted on a simple idea: If you make $1 BILLION in a year, you don't deserve a tax handout. Democrats voted yes. Republicans voted no. Republicans are planning huge tax cuts for the rich, but they’re not the ones who need a break — working people do.

Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

Dissatisfaction with how Republicans are running the government doesn't mean Democrats are winning. It doesn't mean the Democratic Party isn't also bleeding support. Democrats are almost exclusively addressing new issues created by Republicans, not the ones that got us here.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

The House is in recess—from 2/14 to 2/23— It's time to take action. We show up. We make them answer for their votes. We refuse to let them hide. Every Republican must feel the heat for their complicity in the Trump-Musk coup. Every Democrat must know that we’ve got their backs when they fight back.

Ilhan Omar introduced an amendment to make corporations pay their fair share. Instead, the GOP voted it down and have moved along the budget bill that would strip $880 BILLION from Medicaid. Fun fact - that's the ENTIRE budget. #HandsOffMyMedicaid

This is just sheer brazen criminality by DOJ. Adams gets federal corruption charges dropped not because there isn’t overwhelming evidence, but because he agrees to help Homan round up migrants. And Homan says the charges will be refiled if Adams doesn’t “come through.”
