Where will your love of democracy, and country, lead you? "Let me say, at the risk of seeming ridiculous, that the true revolutionary is guided by great feelings of love." –Che Guevara

Reminder: The reconciliation bill didn’t pass because some GOP reps didn’t think it cut enough, especially from Medicaid. What’s not on the chopping block? Trillions in tax breaks for billionaires. #GreedyBillionaires #TaxTheRich #Corruption

"Waste" is when people get Medicaid. "Efficiency" is when you let 60,000 tons of food that's already been paid for rot instead of feeding someone with it.

We’re living through Trump’s conversion of the presidency into a global business operation—one in which family enrichment drives national policy. Foreign influence. Secret deals. Cryptocurrency grifts. Worse than just corruption, this is a blueprint for authoritarian kleptocracy.

Back the blue? Your followers BEAT the blue on Jan. 6 and then you pardoned them. Shameful.

Yes, we noticed. You're still here.

Never argue with lies or misinformation. Instead, “Cause a Pause” in the misinformed person's way of thinking. Start a new thread with facts. Offline, listen with empathy, genuinely express interest in the source of misinformation. #TruthBrigade #DisinfoBuster truthbrigade.indivisible.org/s/i1G0yF8P

A House vote on Trump's Tax Scam is expected before Memorial Day. Use our toolkit to take action and raise awareness about the GOP's plan to make billionaires richer by gutting essential programs that our communities rely on: docs.google.com/docu...

We can't forget about Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Trump is still defying a Supreme Court order to bring him home. Tell your Members of Congress: this is a direct attack on our Constitutional rights. indivisible.org/reso...

Magna Carta: "No free man shall be seized, imprisoned, dispossessed, outlawed, exiled or ruined in any way, nor in any way proceeded against, except by the lawful judgement of his peers and the law of the land. To no one will we sell, to no one will we deny or delay right or justice." Works for me.

45+ states have elections in 2025 — with 100,000+ open seats on the ballot. School boards, city councils, judges & more. These races shape our everyday lives. There are no off years in a real democracy. VOTE.

George Orwell’s cautionary tale, 1984, serves a prescient warning about the dangers of censorship. Haven't read it yet? READ IT. Read it again.

Trump’s jet from Qatar: + $400M Trump’s military parade: + $50M Trump’s golf trips: + $30M+ Tax cuts for billionaires: + $4.5 TRILLION Medicaid cuts: – $800 BILLION Subsidizing the rich. Slashing care for the rest of us. Your tax dollars at work. #MAGAnomics #TaxTheRich #Kleptocracy

Thank you to @govpritzker.illinois.gov for taking decisive action against the Trump administration’s unconstitutional mass deportation efforts. If you live in a Democratic trifecta state, use our toolkit to urge your governor to fight back like Gov. Pritzker: bluestatedefiance.org/mass-deportations

House Republicans’ tax bill would grant the Treasury Secretary the ability to accuse any nonprofit of being a “terrorist supporting organization” without basic due process. No president should have the power this bill provides to punish their political opponents.

Woke AF

Brevard County FL URGENT ACTION ALERT SpaceX wants to increase launches from the Cape from 50 to 120! Air pollution, noise pollution, interference with air traffic. The comment period to the FAA is restricted to May 13-15, probably by design. COMMENT NOW: www.regulations.gov/document/FAA...

Oligarchy: Government of and by a few wealthy elites, who exercise power over our democracy and economy for their own benefit. RFK Jr says Trump is not for the Oligarchs. Robert Reich thinks differently. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1J7C...

As Republicans move into the new public phase of their effort to make billionaires richer and flip off everyone else, we need to boost awareness of how their plans would hurt our communities. Use our toolkit to take action and spread the word about Trump’s Tax Scam: docs.google.com/docu...

Trump claims that he welcomes White Afrikaners to the US due to genocide in Africa. Bishop William Barber: "The bitter irony of this lie is that farmers are being killed by genocidal violence in Sudan, the Congo, and Gaza. But they all happen not to be white." Tell your Senators: Call Out the Lies!

Alternate facts: White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said she was "absolutely" sure that Qatar did not "want something in return" for the $400 million airplane "because they know President Trump and they know he only works with the interests of the American public in mind." Demand TRUTH.

Bobby Kogan, Senior Director of Federal Budget Policy, Center for American Progress: The Republican budget plan would cut more than $700 billion from health coverage and kick more than 8 million people off insurance. Around $600 billion of that comes from Medicaid. All for billionaire tax cuts.

If South Africa is a sovereign nation, how are we able to send our own planes we paid for to transport white Afrikaners to the U.S., but simultaneously unable to send a plane to return Abrego Garcia et al?

THIS WEEK: House Republicans are deciding how many families and senior citizens they’ll kick off Medicaid, SNAP, early education, and countless other programs that working families rely on — all to fund tax breaks for billionaires. Call your representative NOW if you live in a GOP district.

We won't go quietly back into the 1950s.

Childcare shouldn’t be a luxury. Families are struggling to afford care, put food on the table, and save for the future — while billionaires rake in tax breaks. Today, we’re saying fund families, not billionaires: DayWithoutChildCare.org #DayWithoutChildCare

Texas researchers proposed in 2022 using these sticky natural polymers to clean up water. Now, they’ve found that okra and/or fenugreek extracts attracted and removed up to 90% of microplastics from ocean water, freshwater, and groundwater. www.goodnewsnetwork.org/okra-and-fen...

"Trump’s go-to tactic increasingly involves dramatic shows of force against elected officials on spurious grounds. In doing so, they show their thuggish contempt for the rule of law, not to mention their frustration over repeated courtroom humiliation." Jen Rubin, The Contrarian Fight Thugocracy!

"Trump is requesting $1 trillion in military spending as one in ten children face food insecurity, one in four adults experience financial hardship, and homelessness is at a record high. Human security — reliable access to food, income, and shelter — is deteriorating" popular.info/p/inside-tru...

Awkward 😬

Who needs a $400 million “palace in the sky” when you can have two or three dolls and a couple of pencils instead.

Your School House Rock moment.....🤔
