The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D): “My oath is to the constitution of our state and of our country. We don’t have kings in America, and I don’t intend to bend the knee to one.”

Somebody should organize a taxpayer revolt! No taxes without representation.

Here’s what I need from Democrats; get in the fucking way. Stand in front of those who will hurt others. We can say “constitutional crisis” all day long, but you have to get in front of them. Refuse to budge. Don’t back down.

His IQ is so low that he doesn’t even know that “dumb” means someone who can’t speak. I guess they don’t teach vocabulary at Yale. And, to quote Forest Gump, “Stupid is as stupid does.”

I think that all Republican Senators should resign. They are worthless and not taxpayers shouldn’t be paying them to just be a rubber stamp for the orange guy!

There are more people who want American democracy to survive than there are people who want to destroy it. Let's act accordingly.

State AGs must examine whether Musk et al has violated any state laws. Please file complaints, injunctions, & restraining orders against Musk & his tech goons for committing identify theft, violating the Privacy Act, & riding roughshod over Congress’s spending power in Art I, S 8 of the Const.

THIS is what fighting back looks like! đź‘Ź Democrats are planning to hold the Senate floor all night tonight to try and stop the confirmation of Project 2025 architect and OMB nominee Russell Vought. REPOST if you support their efforts!

Of course, Musk will sue you if you say you don't want to advertise in the Nazi bar...

Absolutely correct @adamkinzinger.bsky.social. I keep waiting for elected Democrats to realize that they need to completely change their approach. This would be a great way to start and today would be a great time to do so.

I am begging every Democratic committee, PAC, and candidate to get control of your damn email program right now and stop sending tone deaf fundraising emails that have nothing to do with what's happening. Stop listening to focus groups from a month ago. Stop the 2 approved talking points.

Elon Musk must be removed. His Citizenship suspended, and deport his skank back where he came from... He's a traitor to the United States!

Like and repost to thank General Mark Milley for his service, bravery, integrity and leadership to the men and women of the Armed Forces. History will be good to men of integrity and patriotism like General Milley. To Hegseth & Trump, not so much.

Don’t give in to propaganda. Be a @jimacosta.bsky.social who said in his final broadcast on CNN: "It is never a good time to bow down to a tyrant... I’ve always believed it’s the job of the press to hold power to account… don’t give in to the lies… don’t give in to the fear… hold on to the truth.”

Dems need to “fight” back.

@democrats.org @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov I did my part—I voted all “blue”, wrote postcards, contacted my friends to make sure dems won. Despite all of your constituents who supported dems, we lost. Now, it is your turn. Where are you? You must lead the fight against tyranny!

Last night Donald Trump was fĂŞted by billionaires on bended knee while those of us in the pro-democracy movement did the hard work and stand tall. We may not have their wealth, but we have our dignity and resolve. Our work continues.
