We shall postpone fighting on the beaches, we shall keep an eye on the landing grounds, we encourage everyone else, should the right circumstances come, to fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall eventually retreat to the hills; we shall never explicitly surrender.

If only we had elected representatives who, when our democracy is at risk, didn’t ruminate about when the public might “rise up” but stepped forward to lead.

@durbin.senate.gov and @duckworth.senate.gov

‼️ This is a *victory* for all of the constituents who called their Senators and demanded they reject the House-passed Musk-empowering CR. 🙌 You averaged 100 calls/minute on 5 Calls all day today and it paid off!! 🔥📞🔥

Social Security isn't sending checks to dead people over 120. Tariffs aren't beautiful, but they are raising prices on groceries, beer, and cars. Elon Musk is taking away veterans' healthcare and childcare for families. Presidents are supposed to be truth-tellers, not liars.

More of this!

I’m 71. Still a working nurse. I rely on Social Security to live plus my 2 work days a week. My invested retirement account won’t be enough, especially with stock market tanking. I’m worried and angry.

I’m 80 years old what Musk is doing to Social Security is elder abuse, we are in constant fear and anxiety about something we’ve relied on for 20 years. My only income. People used to support my work for 15 years, but he stopped that by taking me out of the algorithm. #classactionsuit

The financial headlines are brutal right now. It’s almost like the experts are shocked that a six-times bankrupt reality TV show host was elected president and is running the United States economy straight into a ditch.

One of these men flew 39 combat missions. The other carries his small son on his shoulders as a human shield and gives Nazi salutes…

Bernie Sanders is a NATIONAL TREASURE! Who would have known that this 83 year old man who not so long ago was considered a radical progressive would come across as very normal NOW and be the ONE to step up and be the leader we so desperately need. youtube.com/watch?v=6zSr...

If no one else is paying attention, let me point out that Bernie Sanders is filling the void of Democratic leadership and doing an excellent job I’d suggest that instead of blowing up my fucking inbox with email about what we SHOULD do, you follow Bernie’s lead and DO IT! He will get my money 1st

Bernie Sanders is a National Treasure!!! Thank you, Bernie!

Bernie Sanders is paving the way forward for Democrats. The party should follow his lead.

The hypocrisy is off the charts.

Just watched Bernie Sanders' speech in Kenosha, Wisconsin. Best townhall ever. So what are the other Democrats doing to fight oligarchy and Facism?? You should follow Bernies lead! @repmoskowitz.bsky.social @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov

Here’s Bernie @sanders.senate.gov, 83 years old, traveling all over the country talking to people, helping fight against Trump/Musk. Hero.

Is the press seriously going to cover this story without mentioning that Trump was impeached in his first term for withholding aid to Ukraine to pressure Zelensky into fabricating dirt on Biden to help Trump win in 2020? Seems relevant!

There was a President in the Oval Office today. His name is Zelensky. He had to fend off two impotent barking dogs sent by Putin. They are named Trump and Vance.

📌What if we hit back against the fascist, corporate overlords like Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg and their slobbery minions who fall at their fat little feet? 📌It's time to eat the rich, good people, and let THEM know who the REAL boss is. 📌Starve the bastards. U.S. Economic Blackout 2025.

This is from a week ago. Others have said the same. We need this to happen.

RFK Jr: “Gardasil is probably the single worst, mass vaccine that we've ever seen.” @drneilstone.bsky.social: “The HPV vaccine (Gardasil) is safe, effective, and on the way to ELIMINATING cervical cancer! RFK Jr is an anti-vaccine fanatic who would rather your daughter got cancer than a vaccine.”

This says it all. Chair of Munich conference in tears after Vance speech and consoled by other Europeans. nos.nl/l/2556152

The richest man on the globe, is taking food, medicine and benefits from the MOST NEEDY among us- FOR HIMSELF.

This pregame is a perfect reminder that everything that makes New Orleans music and culture so dope is literally everything these fucks are opposed to.

The media is failing us. Over and over again. And apparently they haven't even realized it yet.

I wonder if we should be thinking of Musk's seizing of Treasury as an historic cyber-security breach that endangers the entire US and global financial system. Every government and financial institution in the world should be demanding that Treasury arrest the hackers, restore integrity of US govt.

"No Democrat should be voting to advance Trump's nominees while all of this stuff is going on," AOC said. “There has to be a political price to pay and we have a responsibility as a party to block everything that is happening while they're setting a literal mash to the federal government."

Anyone else concerned about filing taxes? I usually have them done by now but I’m hesitant. Wondering if I’ll get my SS deposit next week. I call my reps every day using 5 calls

I spent ages 1-11 In the 70s I have VIVID memories Of my Mom & the Women She knew W/old school Unshrinkable/unfadable 70s tiny tees W/no bra’d boobs Bouncing underneath They all said ERA Or Ratify the ERA Etc Well today it WAS ratified By Joe I wish my Mom Was here . 🦋🩵 #28thAmendment #ERA #AB🏡👩🏼‍💻💚

With 3 days left in his presidency, Biden declared the Equal Rights Amendment officially part of the Constitution, recognizing its ratification by 38 states. Constitutional expert @tribelaw.bsky.social discusses the significance of this long-overdue promise. contrarian.substack.com/p/the-equal-...

The Equal Rights Amendment is long overdue. We can’t afford to lose progress on equality. Last day to make our voices heard and ask President Biden to make #PublishERA part of his legacy. Call (202) 456-1111 and text (302) 404-0880 and protect gender equality for everyone #ERANow #BidenLegacy

I’ve been texting every day +1 (302) 404-0880

So the rumor is that Biden might actually publish the Equal Rights Amendment tomorrow on his last day. And we (women) might get to be in the constitution for five brief shining minutes before the Supreme Court throws us out again and I just think that’s a very cool thing to be alive for.

Good morning
