Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Update: The House just passed the Republican voter suppression measure that threatens voting access for millions of Americans, including 69 million women whose married names don't match their birth certificates. Make sure your senators know you expect them to stand against it.

I would not be able to vote. I do not have a passport, the last name on my driver's license and birth certificate do not match and I do not have military service papers. This is a direct attack on removing Women's right to vote! #SaveWomen'sRighttoVote #SheShed

🚨 RED ALERT FOR DEMOCRACY 🚨 ICE abductions are expanding to legal residents who are just exercising their right to free speech. If they'll come after the First Amendment, what WON'T they attack? WATCH AND SHARE. Exercise free speech while you still can. #4The1st

HORRIFIC! ABSOLUTELY CHILLING. All Rumeysa Ozturk did was write an op-ed. 6 masked ICE agents abducted her off the street made her disappear. No warning. No due process. She's a legal resident & union member. This is a DIRECT assault on free speech. Aren’t we to be the land of the free? #4The1st

I've ALWAYS defended the Affordable Care Act. The Tweet below was re: the House repeal in May 2017. The ACA is NOT just the marketplace it affects EVERY health program including Medicaid & Medicare. March 23rd is its 15th Anniversary. Happy birthday, ACA! The GREATEST gift in life is good health.🎂💜

Imagine thinking a guy who charges around $100K for a vehicle with glued on metal panels that just fall off is the one to be trusted anywhere near our government.

Prior to the Affordable Care Act anyone with a pre-existing condition could not get insured!! People died due to this! Healthcare cannot be denied due to the Affordable Care Act! It saves innumerable lives of Americans! #MomSky

These three charts are devastating. We knew LA Times, WSJ, Wash Post, NY Post, Fox News, Meta, & Twitter are owned by pro Trump billionaires. Sadly, right wingers dominate social media too, transforming the USA into a right wing regime mimicking Russia & China. www.qasimrashid.com/p/the-left-i...

15 years ago today, President Obama and Democrats signed the transformative Affordable Care Act into law, providing quality health care to nearly 24 million Americans. It remains a lifeline for families across the country, and I’m committed to protecting it from any Republican efforts to repeal it.

🚨50 MILLION Americans ACCESS their medical coverage through the ACA. An INCREDIBLE milestone especially for people who previously could NOT be insured due to preexisting conditions. In 2017, Senator John McCain SAVED it & helped people THRIVE with his 👎 Sunday, March 23 is the 15th Birthday of ACA!

Those Paul Weiss has betrayed include lawyers who have worked with the firm and law professors who have steered their students there. Belonging to both groups, I feel doubly betrayed. That once great firm should back out of its Trump deal. Better late than never! www.thebulwark.com/p/disgusted-...

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks… “The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government. 🧵

If a law firm won't risk everything to defend itself, what makes you think it will risk anything to defend you? My advice: Find a law firm that will not back down and will never bend a knee.

For folks who don’t know, ethnic studies programs like African American/Africana Studies, Asian American Studies, Chicano Studies and the like come directly from civil right era campus activism. Attempts to disempower such programs should be framed as attacks on civil rights same as much else rn.

BREAKING: Jon Ossoff at the 'Rally for Our Republic' just now, talking about Trump’s Corruption and why things don’t work. “It’s not because of our new arch enemy, Canada. The system really is rigged, but Trump’s not unrigging it, he’s re-rigging it for himself.

Say what you want, but this is working. Tesla shares are plummeting, and people can’t offload their Teslas fast enough. The NYC protest today is 🔥 —they’re continuing the effort to urge folks to sell their Teslas and dump stock. The brand is toxic. PS—I got rid of my Tesla in 2024.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is utterly out of touch, and more than likely out of his mind. Billionaire Lutnick casually spoke of his 94-year-old mother-in-law who, he maintains, would not complain if her Social Security check didn't arrive on time. She’d refrain from calling to…

Tonight an unbelievable 34,000 people gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

What were the 7 key major causes of the Great Depression? Do you see any of them happening now? The Great Depression, which began in 1929 and lasted through the 1930s, was caused by a combination of structural weaknesses in the economy, policy failures, and global financial interconnections. 👇

Here’s something fun I learned this week If you find yourself in an ER in an abortion ban state and upon intake they discover you’re pregnant, from there on out your care will be different than any non-pregnant person’s. The fetus becomes primary.

There's a reason why they're freaking out over what's happening to Tesla. It's working. There's a reason they're threatening absurd consequences. They need to scare you back into civility and compliance. As long as we're reluctant to cross the lines they ignore daily, they have the upper hand.

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”
