I am begging every Democratic committee, PAC, and candidate to get control of your damn email program right now and stop sending tone deaf fundraising emails that have nothing to do with what's happening. Stop listening to focus groups from a month ago. Stop the 2 approved talking points.

Why the hell are people pronouncing DOGE dojh? It's like some bougie asshole trying to make it sound Real Important. I'd pronounce it Doggy. With apologies to actual good doggies.

The administration and many corporations have given diversity lip service. We the Resistance know better. We are #StrongerTogether 🤍🩶🖤🤎💛 ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 Good Night 🫶🏽🙏🏽

they can take over the entire country but they can never actually be cool and it will eat at them forever

This is ok.

Agreed.

If you’re a government employee, thank you for your service & here’s a resource you may find helpful. Stay strong. www.civilservicestrong.org

This River Otter popped up in front of me while I was photographing a pair of Bald Eagles this morning 🥰 #birds #mammals #nature #otters

Workers laboring at Gallo of Sonoma share, "Thanks to our UFW contract we're provided with the tools we need and not pressured to buy the expensive tools by ourselves. They are always in good condition. And the company provides safety gear like glasses and gloves." #WeFeedYou

Ever wonder why German Nazis had no empathy for their Jewish victims? Because they were told Jews are criminals. It's literally the same fascist propaganda lie Orange Hitler uses to demonize and dehumanize immigrants, and the same reason why MAGA Nazis see nothing wrong with torturing immigrants.

Good morning BlueSky. There is so much hate right now against children, elderly, needy, immigrants, Trans and so many more. So let me just put a quick reminder. Make it an awesome day and make your love shine. 💕

We had to get in on the video action too — Bluesky now has custom feeds for video! Like any other feed, you can choose to pin these or not. Bluesky is yours to customize.

Good morning SKIES OF BLUE

Sen Chris Murphy (D-CT) just now: “You could literally walk down the street and the first 100 people you’d find would be less dangerous as the head of HHS than Robert F Kennedy Jr. He will get people killed”

At start of RFK Jr. hearing, Sen. Ron Wyden calls the anti-vaxxer a conspiracy theory-monger who embraces “quacks and charlatans” and who “chases money and influence wherever they lead, even if it means the death of children and other vulnerable people.”

Good Morning friends💛🌞 Again ~ I am so proud of my governor ~ #Illinois #Trump This is fighting fascism head on. #SheShed www.ibjonline.com/2025/01/28/b...

This is a good time to bring up RFK Jr's role in a major measles outbreak in Samoa in 2019. Over 𝟴𝟬 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 died. 𝙈𝙤𝙨𝙩 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙢 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙡𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙣. RFK Jr has blood on his hands. He's not fit to have any say about vaccines. youtu.be/l0f3yZ9jJPY?...

Intelligence officials are starting to leak to me now too. Here’s a memo Defense Intelligence Agency personnel received instructing them to suspend observances including: - Holocaust Remembrance Day - MLK Day - Juneteenth

Good morning everyone LEt ME BE SHORT AND SWEET AND HARSH RFKJR IS QUALIFIED TO BE IN CHARGE OF ROADKILL DROP OFF THAT'S ALL

🚨ATTENTION DEM LEADERSHIP & ELECTED DEMS IN OFFICE: GROW A SPINE! STOP THE GODDAMN HANDWRINGING & CAPITULATION!!!

🚨 BOOOOOM!!! Senator Bennet might have just ended RFK Jr.'s chances of being nominated as HHS Secretary. Watch how he cuts through the BS and asks the tough questions. THIS is how you do it.

Wow RFK Jr. just perjured himself on live tv

They are coming for the abortion pill next 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Fog of war is upon us and a lot of conflicting versions of events. When in doubt, go directly to the source: The #LibraryOfCongress, to keep track of bills, and their status. www.loc.gov/subscribe

Catherine Cortez Masto just casually exposing that RFK Jr. has no idea what HHS does or how it works.

LFG Senator Bernie Sanders!! Bernie burns RFK Jr’s blatant flip flopping on his so-called pro-vax stance when RFK Jr is SELLING onesies on his website that read: UNVAXXED UNAFRAID and NO VAX. NO PROBLEM FOH with the gaslighting.

And now the ICE raids. #ThankyouFarmworkers #StoptheRaids

I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is. Know your rights. Pass these around…

Good morning ☀️ In our efforts to overthrow Project 2025 and its sadistic architects, we are the #Resistance, the #Opposition, the #Rebellion, the #Revolutionaries. By whatever name, we share the same mission…STOP them! #Unite as one to… #EndTheWarOnWomen #SheShed

When day 4 feels like...

The Brennan Center supports the Neighbors Not Enemies Act, which would repeal the outdated and dangerous Alien Enemies Act. “The Alien Enemies Act … violates rights in wartime and could be weaponized against immigrants in peacetime.” — Katherine Yon Ebright

I am excited to endorse Jocelyn Benson for Governor of Michigan. We share a passion for marathon running. Just as she has conquered the miles, I am confident she will tackle the challenges facing Michigan with the same determination and spirit she exhibits as Michigan's Secretary of State.

Terrifying

Their faith lets them worship power while they’re offended by mercy. It’s not Christianity they’re practicing.

She's braver than essentially the entire Democratic Party and the entire media industry

It was a fcking Nazi salute, y'all.

Nazis: "that's a nazi salute" Historians: "that's a nazi salute" Average person: "that's a nazi salute" The Media: "Elon Musk makes odd gesture throwing his heart to the crowd."

"One of the most important things any of us can do right now is bring attention to the lived experiences of people in states that have banned or restricted abortion. & practically, we can make sure people are familiar w/all of their options for abortion care" joycevance.substack.com/p/honoring-s...

I had to repost this again.
