I'm with Mark Hamill, who's with us? 🤔

The Trump Tariff Tax Hike kicks in today: - higher prices - costs the average family $5200 more - higher unemployment - reduced U.S. GDP of up to 8% - likely recession He’ll probably go golfing at his country club again to celebrate.

“We are the farmworkers, the construction workers, the custodians, the restaurant workers, and the factory workers,” farmworker Araceli said at a Salem rally. “As immigrants, we are the backbone of this country. Without our work, many industries would be left empty.” #MayDay #InternationalWorkersDay

Your School House Rock moment...🤔

Today, President Trump proposed eliminating the Teen Pregnancy Prevention program entirely. Medical experts in and out of government have credited the program for contributing to a 78 percent drop in teen births over the past few decades. www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/u...

In his first 100 days, President Trump has slashed lifesaving medical research, stopping the progress that saves lives and gives families hope.

After the horrific killing of 19 fourth graders and two teachers at Uvalde, Republican and Democratic Senators came together to end these senseless tragedies and passed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/u...

Today's vocabulary lesson

A cool thing for Dems to do would be to list conservative organizations they would revoke tax-exempt status for (on the entirely reasonable line that many are not real social welfare orgs and are not nonpartisan). Might concentrate the minds of some Federalist Society (501c3) members.

when I say they're dismantling the entirety of consumer protection, I genuinely mean they're dismantling the entirety of consumer protection

That’s all this administration knows how to do is gaslight us.😡

This administration is gutting our agencies and leaving America less safe and more vulnerable than ever in our history. Let’s face the fact as citizens we are in our own! Neighbor by neighbor and town by town we must help each other. Soon we will be beyond return to democracy. FAFO! Now we all pay!

Marco Rubio is going after people who are living here legally and peacefully, who are not a danger to America or our foreign policy interests. He has strayed so far from who we are as Americans. He’s an embarrassment to the country.

Putting a former heroin addict with a brain worm who eats road kill and drinks raw milk in charge of scientific research will prove to be a massively deadly mistake. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

If another country cut off our supply of vaccines or unleashed contagious vaccine-preventable diseases on us, we would call it what it is: bioterrorism. Just because it’s a Kennedy doing it to us from inside the house does not change that.

Unconstitutional much?

This isn't hypothetical. The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

Our country is mired in propaganda, corruption, lies and foreign influence. It’s where we are.

This is what drunk on power looks like. It’s why we don’t have kings. (Also, he’ll lose in court if he follows through).

“This is taxpayer-funded, state-sponsored religious indoctrination. You’ve just got to call it what it is.”

'“It’s not being done with any thought about human life, it was just ‘this seems so woke so let’s get rid of it,’” Bennett said. “People think water is free and comes out of your tap whenever you want, but it’s not that simple.”' www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The Trump family’s cryptocurrency business just got a $2B investment from a firm backed by the United Arab Emirates government. With this deal, they will be enriched beyond most people’s comprehension—and they have the UAE government to thank for it.

Courage is contagious! Never stop fighting for America! 🇺🇸 Do not let them cower us with threats. We the people are stronger in number, truth and we have the fortitude and guts to do what the cowards in Washington will not do! We will stand up for AMERICAN DEMOCRACY! When we fight we win!

Trump and DOGE's recent dismantling of AmeriCorps has had a profound effect on community safety and resilience, particularly in disaster-prone areas.​ These cuts hit home for me and have affected many of my AmeriCorps/CERT (Community Emergency Response Team)... 1/ apnews.com/article/amer...

. Can everyone stand up already? .
