Stop continuing GOP gerrymandering and capture of our elections!!

REPORTER: Voters say they are angry and frustrated by these firings. They don't like the work of Elon Musk. What do you say to them? TRUMP: Who do you work for? REPORTER: ABC News TRUMP: No wonder. I have the highest poll numbers I've ever had

Is there a code of silence by former presidents that prevents them from forcibly speaking out against the taking down of our country? #SilenceIsNotAnOption #BarackObama #BillClinton #TheBushCenter #GeorgeWBush #ProudBlue #DemsUnited #DemVoice1

Why do Republicans want to harm the most vulnerable? We may never know the answer to that, but we definitely need to push back and protect those that need this program to survive. Call your Reps 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Bernie Sanders explains impacts on community if Republicans gut Medicaid. #DontCutMyMedicaid

Since President Trump took office, White House social media accounts have posted a meme that seemed like it might have come from a parody account or Reddit and 4chan, among other posts that left some disturbed by their callousness.

The party of family values. 🙄 #RepublicansAreDestroyingAmerica www.vanityfair.com/style/story/...

One in four Coloradans get their health care from Medicaid. Yet Republicans want to cut this care in order to give billionaires another massive tax cut. I visited Stride Community Health Center to talk with doctors and patients about how these cuts would hurt our community.

The guy who used to run social media for the NRA is now creating the same violent rhetoric for the White House.

Stocks slump with the S&P 500 wiping out almost all of its gains since Trump took office last month, after a widely watched measure of how consumers feel about the economy showed mounting fears over stubborn inflation. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/b...

Republicans are embracing full on fascism. Nazi salutes, siding with murderous dictators, trash talking our allies, promoting hate, racist ideology, and bigotry, as well as, gaslighting Americans 24/7. In 30 days Trump & Republicans have managed to tank America’s reputation. The world hates us.

Canadians never bend in the face of tyranny. This is our story as a nation, and I am so proud to be part of that story today. Across Canada and the United States the resistance will come from ordinary people. Keep kicking at the darkness until it bleeds daylight. www.youtube.com/watch?v=es5q...

Trump Vance & Musk hate you, Magas. Oh and manatees too.

Take the time. Read it. Global carnage.

They just now noticed?

The police misconduct database has been eliminated by the Department of Justice on Trump‘s order. America just became a much more dangerous place, particularly for people of color. As we know that they are disproportionately affected by police brutality. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
