#ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue #DV1 ☕As we return to our weekday businesses (though some people are on a month-long vacation), let’s proudly carry this spirit of peace and joy. It will take us through these challenging and long-term commitments.

Small town, huge fans of Democracy.

Ronald Reagan said it. #NoKings tomorrow 10/18

There is a stink emanating from the House of Reps created by the refusal of Johnson to swear in Rep-Elect Adelita Grijalva. Very reminiscent of the stench that rose from the Senate in 2016 when McConnell refused to hold a hearing re Obama’s nominee for Supreme Court.Someone please file a law suit.

This!!!

Will any country have the balls to file with the International Criminal Court....which, as a reminder to participants in these illegal acts, are not subject to presidential pardons.

The VA is one of the top employers of veterans nationwide. Our federal unions defend VA nurses, counselors, and case workers so they can do their jobs and serve those who’ve served. Don’t be fooled—this is not about making the VA better—this is about taking away their rights. We will fight back!

The rain did not keep Bostonians home! Huge crowd. Deep concerns.

Where does the money from the Golden Visas go? Where does the money go when law firms pay to settle threatened law suits? Where does the money go when tariffs are collected? Just curious...

The irony is stunning: choosing to overlook tax evasion by the extremely wealthy who owe billions, and focusing IRS investigations on generally lower-income undocumented workers who filed their taxes in good faith. Retribution is the motivation, and this is the epitome of government inefficiency.

Times Square 🇺🇸🇺🇦✊

A reminder for these times.

Every time I think I cannot be more embarrassed by the actions of the current administration,Trump trumps his last move. Screaming over President Zelensky was cringe-worthy. Insisting that Zelensky has not been thankful defies the fact he has expressed gratitude to the US and other allies often.

TOMORROW- Friday, February 28th is BLACKOUT FRIDAY! If you believe we are in danger of losing our Democracy forever, FIGHT BACK! Let's make our voices heard in numbers too big to ignore. JOIN US if you've had it with Comrade Krasnov. 🤬 🇷🇺 #24HourEconomicBlackout

Happy Friday! This is the resistance. Cause some Good Trouble today!

Boston 50501. Big crowd on a chilly day. This is what Democracy looks like.

It is time for media outlets to stand together and boycott White House press briefings. If one outlet is refused access, all media is at risk of censorship. Leave the room to Fox and OAN. I have confidence legitimate reporters can find the stories without being in the White House propaganda room.

Super Bowl Sunday in Public Health: Just like a touchdown, riotous and sweet, Good health is a victory that's hard to beat. So we unite, like teams on the field, To protect our health, and never yield. Through cheers and chants, let's all make it clear: Public health is player of the year!

I check the Fox News website once in a while to see how they are covering stories that are top news on social media and in mainstream media. Barely a peep on their website about Musk, USAID, Dept of Ed, etc. It is no wonder we are so divided. We live in different worlds.

Armed guards at the Dept of Education keeping Congress members out? Does the DOE have more security than the Capitol did on Jan 6? I know teachers are awesome, but armed guards? What the heck is going on in there? Image taken from a reel posted by @maxwellfrost.bsky.social

Why is Musk working to cut most budgets? In '25 Congress will vote to end or renew the 2017 tax cuts which saved the rich $1 trillion+ over 10 yrs. Renewing a tax break for the rich works if $ is cut from other budgets.Thanks @aoc.bsky.social for posting about this www.citizen.org/news/trumps-...

Why has Elon Musk not been called to testify before Congress? If Dr. Fauci had to answer to Congress for how he was doing his job, I do not understand why Musk is getting a free pass for actions that will have ramifications for all Americans and people around the world.

Trump preps order to dismantle Education Dept. as DOGE probes data wapo.st/3WNMLWj

The U.S.Department of Ed just posted a reel about "School Choice".Included in the def of school choice are Faith Based schools, home schooling &private schools. Parents have the right to send their children to these schools, but they should not be publicly funded.The DOE should not imply otherwise.

Ezra Klein tells us that our task now is not to believe Orange as he tries to convince us he has powers over the gov't and over us that he does not have. Explore this gift article from The New York Times. You can read it for free without a subscription. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/o...

Article I says Congress makes laws and has power of the purse. Article II requires POTUS to faithfully execute laws. Refusing to execute laws so he can usurp Congress’s budgetary authority is unconstitutional. A self-respecting Congress would do a veto-proof resolution, and if necessary, impeach.

(2/2) H.Res 7:A quote from Pro Women's Health Center info, "Fertility awareness is a fundamental tenant of true women’s healthcare. Empowering a woman to understand her body’s natural fertility is..effective family planning, with no damage to her health ...by artificial contraception."

(1 of 2) House Resolution 7, introduced Jan 3, "recognizes the high standards established by Pro Women’s Healthcare Centers as standards worth implementing nationwide." Check PWHC website for frightening details about their position on contraception.

If Trump executes his mass deportation policy as cruelly as anticipated, media outlets need to get footage at shelters, schools, nursing homes, factories and fields as the folks who support us in so many jobs are dragged off to a very uncertain future.
