It doesn’t matter if they’re “coming for you next.” Even if your position and your privilege will ALWAYS protect you and everyone you love, it is your job as a conscious human being to fight for justice. That’s just the way it fucking is. You don’t get to abdicate that responsibility.

📌I see House Democrats are targeting just 35 Republican districts in 2026, which is the absolute definition of thinking incredibly small. 📌Billionaires are stealing our money, gutting medicaid, social security and vets' benefits. People's 401ks are in tatters. 📌RUN HARD EVERYWHERE, DAMMIT.

Opinion | In three consecutive elections, the Republicans have nominated a 6x bankrupt sexual abuser who is now a convicted felon. But in four of the past five elections, the Democrats have nominated a woman and/or minority. Our two-party system is broken.

This is Lassie. She was sitting in a shelter with an infected uterus. Thanks to your support of our ‘tell your dog i said hi’ merch, @15outof10.org was able to commit to her $7,500 care, allowing our rescue partner to rush her into surgery.
