From this:

I called my senators today and told them I want Cory Booker to be the senate minority leader. We can’t hold hearings. We don’t have subpoena power. We can’t pass budgets. But we CAN filibuster, and we CAN change party leadership.

Russia - along with North Korea, Belarus and Cuba (you read that right!) - is a rare exception to Trump’s tariffs. Remember: Trump removed U.S. Intel sharing with Ukraine to force it to accept a ceasefire, which it has. Trump has yet to impose costs on Moscow, which continues to defy any ceasefire.

Beautiful alternative for #cyberblackoutmonday #tucson

I'm in! weriseunited.substack.com/p/cyber-blac...

Here's a breakdown of how the Liberty Lake #TeslaTakedown event went today! There were 120+ people there, and around 10 counter protesters. Plus a harp! There were some wildly scary moments and some incredibly touching moments. If you read this whole🧵 I'll put a nice little surprise at the end 😊

Tucson, AZ #TeslaTakedown protest at the corner of Oracle and River outside the dealership is currently the largest one in the USA with over 3,000 people, and we are just getting started!

Woah, now. Don't let that class consciousness show, the oligarchs might get pissy.

We created a Starter Pack for climate and democracy organizations! 🌎 ⚖️ All of these groups are fighting for a sustainable planet and just democracy and against Trump and Musk's attacks on essential programs and our communities. REPOST and FOLLOW! 💚

We are the League of Conservation Voters and have been fighting for people and the planet since 1970. 🌎 We're currently suing Trump over his unlawful orders to drill in protected areas of the Arctic and Atlantic. But we need your help to keep fighting back. Can you REPOST & give us a follow?

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

We The People must fix it! WeRiseUnited.org is focused on disrupting the billionaires who control the technology that can be used against us. Join us to limit their revenue on the last day of the reporting period, March 31st. This is how we can march virtually to impact their stock prices. #share

Not surprisingly, Trump’s overall tax and tariff proposals would make the very rich much richer and working families poorer. If you earn less than $360,000 a year, your taxes are going to go way up. If you’re in the top 1%? Don’t worry. You’ll save big.

I voted NO on House Republicans' slush funds bill—cloture, final passage, all of it—but it just passed. To my constituents, your voice matters. Keep speaking out. So, shoulders up. Keep the faith. We stand strong, and we do NOT stand down.

Collaborators with the fascists.

CALL YOUR REPS! @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

We’re devastated by the passing of @repraulgrijalva.bsky.social, an incredible champion for environmental justice, tribal sovereignty, clean air and water, and the health and safety of all communities. He leaves a tremendous legacy and we are forever grateful for longstanding leadership. 💚

Schumer votes for more 💩 like this: "FBI now moving to criminalize groups like Habitat for Humanity for “conspiracy to defraud the US” "EPA head announces sweeping actions to revoke Biden-era rules on power plants, climate and electric vehicles” "Slashing VA funds will have dire consequences..."

"...Juan Ciscomani invited nine newly elected Republican members of Congress to see the border as people from the border see it." www.kgun9.com/border-watch... But REFUSES to hold town halls. Veterans, businesses, farmers, dems. Looking for answers about curated chaos he's enacting. Cobarde!
