Personally I’m excited to see communities join in local town halls to push back against the Republican administration. But it’s also important to pay attention to what is happening at state levels. The republican agenda is gaining power at home. #Resist southdakotasearchlight.com/2025/02/20/s...

Schools in at least 46 states embrace some level of basic human decency, face losing federal funding www.thecentersquare.com/national/art...

Do this. Say this. 👇🏻

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

The pushback is inspiring 💙💙

The Republican administration does not want you to know the dangers and the harms caused by their abortion bans. Thanks to independent journalists we have the proof. 💙 www.propublica.org/article/texa...

There was absolutely no reason to send these people to Guantánamo. It was a publicity stunt, it was a deliberate denial of rights and it was a huge waste of federal funds. The new budget does have a financial line to keep these going 📞 your rep’s and oppose www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/a...

A spark has been created Lies are being highlighted Communities are joining voices Keep showing up Keep calling & emailing your representatives Keep posting on their socials Keep pushing back It’s just a spark this week but by next it’s ALL of our communities #StrongerTogether

Elon’s mass harassment email to all federal employees underscores the importance of having unions to represent workers against abusive management.

A new website created by about a dozen federal employees, called “We the Builders,” aims to be a secure outlet for government workers to share stories about how their workplaces are being impacted by DOGE, and a place to explain the real-world impact of its access to government tech systems.

Call, email, spread the word. #StrongerTogether

Ask questions. Ask for clear answers.

I would prefer people get their jobs back we could do without the propaganda of the Republican administration

Keep pushing them. This guy is a coward! He won’t straight answer any yes or no questions. Let him know he won’t get your votes. And for the love of Christ, DON’T get Republican Amnesia at voting time

The pressure that the Republican party is experiencing in their own districts is highly contagious and growing rapidly 👊🏽 We absolutely must keep the pressure on them & we absolutely must keep vocalizing our opposition. 💙

The Republican presidential office said they would not touch Social Security. We of course know that is not true and that doge is there. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

Representatives are having a rough time answering to their constituents. Make sure you keep calling, and absolutely show up to your local town halls and make sure your voices are heard.

Don’t comply 💙

Rep. don't care about your right to vote. Project 2025 would weaken voting laws by stripping the Dept of Justice's Civil Rights Division, (responsible for enforcing the Voting Rights Act). It would also give the government access to state voter rolls. Utterly unacceptable! #votingrights #BlueCrew

House Democrats open an investigation into Elon Musk’s White House role

The new Republican administration’s policies hitting people in our communities is horrendous.

Yep

If we have enough people with the knowledge and moral fortitude of Maine Governor Janet Mills, and the Associated Press- we might be able to save our Democracy

The Pentagon will fire 5,400 civilian workers next week.

This is how it’s done.

Happy Friday! Help boost these amazing people 💙💙

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

That’s some truth 😊

They are scared of the free press and that is why they are recommending that you don’t pay attention to the free press. Pay attention to the free press, well maybe more the independent free press is the best choice.
