Yo! Shoutout to AOC & Bernie for leading by example — showing up, speaking truth & organizing w/the people, not just talking at them from D.C. We need that same energy from all Dems. Whether it’s 35,000 or 35 people — show up. Hit the streets, hit the town halls, show you’re ready to fight for us.

L - The official photo from the Kremlin of US Special Envoy @SteveWitkoff putting his hand over his heart as he greets his friend Vladimir Putin again this week. R - Putin’s latest missile attack killing at least 21 people, including 7 children, on Palm Sunday. Putin’s stooge.

Forget Anti-Christian Bias. The Trump Administration Has Anti-Jesus Bias open.substack.com/pub/johnpavl...

This is truth. People are being disappeared by this administration. Let’s not dress it up or frame it via one egregious case or another. This is a systemic effort to violate US law, international law and human rights.

Trump is also saying that the once the US has rounded up individuals, with minimal or zero due process, on whatever pretext they choose, they can send them out of the US to face torture, death, life imprisonment, slave labor or other fates that are unconstitutional or illegal in the US.

The phrase "live and let live" was one my parents used. Today, under Trump's regime, the phrase has been recast as the Bond title, "live and let die": Democracy, public education, freedom of speech, cultural diversity, women's rights, healthcare, food for the hungry, medicare and medicaid.

If you’re active duty military or national guard this is the phone # for the GI Rights Hotline.

If you read one article this weekend...or this week, or this month...let it be this one from the New Yorker by @amifieldsmeyer.bsky.social and @juliaangwin.com. It is indeed a "practical guide to courage in Trump's age of fear" and it couldn't be more important. www.newyorker.com/news/the-wee...

Just finished reading James by Percival Everett. I highly recommend this retelling of Huck and Jim. Everett describes Jim's daily life as an enslaved person who interacts with Huck, the family, and people and towns they encounter. I read books on my tablet from my libraries.

Today House Republicans, cheered on by the richest person on Earth, passed a budget framework that will cut support for the poorest people in our country. All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and massively increasing the deficit.

This isn't The Art of the Deal. It's insider trading with a bad comb-over. Step 1: Tank the Market, Scare the Non-Millionaires Step 2: Let the Aristocrats Feast Step 3: Flip, but say ‘Winning’ Step 4: Pretend None of This Ever Happened & Get Your Media Dregs To Do The Same Rinse, Enrich, Repeat.

Isn’t that the truth!💙💛💙💛

truth !

Yesterday in Ventura CA.

Is there anything these wealthy billionaires can say that any of us, regular people making every day and penny count and just living our life, can relate to? Honestly we can't miss a SS check AND the little we have in our 401K accounts just suffered losses. Ignorant men who can just don't care.

Pundits hate simplicity. If something is simple you don’t have to have pundit expertise to explain it. Trump Cabinet now has a public record as the stupidest Cabinet in history. This isn’t complicated. They are stupid rich people. Any analysis that doesn’t begin with their stupidity is stupid.

Not sure why media organizations refer to an "anti-DEI push" when what is happening is racist, sexist censorship and suppression of free speech. If we don't call it what it is, it'll continue to slip under the radar. Same with the administration's alleged "concerns about anti-Semitism."

Ready for tomorrow.

I just contacted my senators and urged them to oppose Pete Hegseth's nomination to lead the Defense Department. Trump's pick would undermine our national security. app.sosha.ai/s/epEsFU8g

These aren't tariffs. They are a horse's head in the bed of (almost) every world government and business leader.

ALA is deeply concerned by reports that IMLS is sending notices to libraries claiming to cancel grants that are required by law. This harmful action will disrupt libraries' ability to serve their communities. Tell Congress to protect library funding: bit.ly/CallCongressForLibraries #ForOurLibraries

senate floor right now... senator cory booker www.c-span.org/event/us-sen...

This man deserves our support and gratitude and I hope he inspires many others. We need millions of Cory Bookers to stand up and speak truth to power about the crisis into which Trump, Musk and MAGA have thrust this country.

On April 5, we’re uniting to say Hands Off! Join me to fight back against Trump’s unprecedented power grab. app.sosha.ai/s/psCZnWSt

"Thus far, the review of the Naval Academy's Library’s holdings has identified 900 books that may run afoul of Hegseth’s order... They include “The Autobiography of Martin Luther King Jr.” and a biography on Jackie Robinson..." www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/u...

How do you transform lies into truth? By erasing the VERY REAL past.

Applying for TSA precheck! Warning to all who have changed their names throughout their life. Your current ID will not match your birth certificate! Now happily in my 3rd marriage. Where are all the documents? THIS IS NOW THE REQUIREMENT FOR VOTER REGISTRATION if the SAVE act passes. FIGHT

And so it continues. No matter our age, stage, nor location, there is a place to express our discontent and rage!!! Everyone check out your local organizers. Show up for our fragile democracy!
