”Without facts, you can’t have truth. Without truth, you can’t have trust. Without all three, we have no shared reality, and democracy as we know it - and all meaningful human endeavors - are dead.” ~ Maria Ressa ~ 'You have to fight for democracy' 🗽 Maria Ressa & her lawyer Amal Clooney 2/2🧵

If a 5’2’’woman can keep fighting even if some days, it feels like harnessing the waves in the ocean, why can't I? She simply will not accept the things that she can't change coz for her, as long as she's breathing, she will keep fighting! #HowToStandUpToADictator 📚 @mariaressa.bsky.social 1/2🧵

The question of "why do people vote against their self-interest" is pretty self-explanatory when you look up the literacy rate in local schools. We have high schools with a literacy rate of 32%. Thirty-two percent...

I paid to be there. I drove 5 hours to get my mom and then drove 5 hours to bring her back home so we could both be in Minneapolis. My mom’s first protest because she knows she had more rights than me because of scotus when she was my age.

CNN reporter Natasha Bertrand fact-checked Trump's denial. “They were easily viewable on flight radar and have been tracked by open source analysts for most of the day. At its closest point a B1 bomber was a little more than 50 miles from the Venezuelan mainland." www.rawstory.com/trump-venezu...

BREAKING: Former special counsel Jack Smith asks to testify in open hearing. @nicollewallace.bsky.social reports.

Private funding is just another way to say privately owned.

Another reminder why Democrats are holding the line. Aside from cuts in healthcare, SNAP benefits will end as early as November. Hey MAGA: Trump did this. You voted to lose your SNAP. 🔥☕️ #ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory www.businessinsider.com/snap-food-st...

The Nazi tattoo alone is disqualifying, regardless of party, but especially in the Democratic Party. We’re already in the fight of our lives against fascism in the United States of America *in 2025.* Cannot believe this even needs to be said.

Trump and his people are trying to rig the 2026 and 2028 elections. Please watch and share this video with your followers, friends, family, etc… Do not let these crooks take away our votes. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

ABC News released before-and-after satellite images of the White House demolition.

The shutdown has air traffic controllers moonlighting as Uber drivers. What could go wrong?

Not one Republican elected official is speaking out! Not one is trying to investigate ICE atrocities being committed or the horrific conditions of the detention facilities. Not one. Flood their phone lines & demand action! Call your GOP Senators & Congressional reps at 202-224-3121.

How can we let ICE take our neighbors? How can we let them brutalize grannies, grandpas & pregnant women? How can we let them ziptie little children? This Dolores Huerta video must go viral. There are atrocities being committed in our name with our taxpayer dollars! Don't be silent! Speak out!

It is truly like a gut punch IT IS THE PEOPLE'S HOUSE He is destroying the whole EAST WING He lied saying it would remain and his gaudy epstein ballroom would be added on The AUDACITY This is fuc💩king infuriating

Here are the corps that are donating to the ballroom which now will cost $300M. We may not be able to boycott some of these corps, but we can call them, protest at their HQ, or if you own their stock, disinvest in them or go to a shareholders meeting and speak up….and

Trump saw the note from Marco Rubio, told reporters it was about peace in the Middle East. AP photo shows the note said “Approve a Truth Social post soon.” We already knew he wasn’t writing his posts and now here’s proof. Oh yeah and then he lied about live on camera 😡 apnews.com/article/trum...

A Navy veteran rips Trump’s shutdown apart: “They’re cutting back medical help in the hospital. You’re cheating the veterans out of everything. President Trump, what are you doing? You don’t love American veterans?” Every Trump cut bleeds those who bled for this country.

Leah Greenberg today (I’m paraphrasing): “The road to authoritarianism runs through attacking immigrants. What they’re doing to immigrants now, they’re planning to do to all of us.” #NoICE #NoKings #NoFedTroops

#senatormerkley is speaking out against Trump/MAGA tyranny, authoritarianism & fascism on the Senate floor. Call his office & thank him & for those in Republican states - demand your Republican/MAGA senators & representatives stand up for the constitution & this country. #dosomethingorstepdown

The regime tried to steal our seats & silence our voices. So Prop 50 gives us the power to take them back. DO NOT GIVE UP. Make it count. Vote #YesOnProp50 today—no stamp, no excuse. Let’s finish what they started.

I’m not a New Yorker but seriously is this headline and this picture supposed to inspire support for Cuomo? I know we are in an upside down world but honestly who thinks this is helpful? #stopthemadness

If you are a CA voter who has questions or concerns about Proposition 50, the Election Rigging Response Act, Rena Korb & I share some insight into this Prop 50 & why you should vote YES! We also share suggestions on what anyone can do to support Proposition 50. Please share this with your networks.

Ciattarelli brags about being a small business owner. The truth: he took big $ from opioid makers to spread lies about opioids. He helped create an app to help patients game the system for more prescriptions. Now he wants us to put our trust in RFK Jr to protect our health & safety! #VoteNJ

They’re not redistricting — they’re preparing the battlefield. If Trump gets 5 extra seats in Congress, he’ll have the votes to declare emergency rule in any city that dares to dissent. #YesOnProp50

Who is Rep. Aftyn Behn Pt. 2 #tennessee #shutdown #aftynbehn #allinforaftyn #specialelection #fyp #hope

The future of our state is at stake. NJ needs a governor who'll prioritize our safety, our economy & our families. Sherrill has the plan & the courage to get it done. She'll invest in our schools, our transportation system & our communities! Early voting starts 10/25! #VoteNJ

The difference couldn’t be clearer. The PA Supreme Court defends Pennsylvanians and upholds fairness. The U.S. Supreme Court serves politicians and their billionaire donors. Protect what’s still fair. Vote YES on Nov 4th #PACourtsMatter social.demcast.com/s/2k6JR1x8

He’s destroying… The Constitution Due Process Public Safety Free Speech/Press The Economy Small businesses Farms Jobs Healthcare Women’s access to safe healthcare ACA Subsidies Medicaid/Medicare SNAP/Food access programs for children/elderly Voting Rights Our military …And the actual White House

ENDORSED! The @PhillyInquirer editorial board says Mikie Sherrill is the best choice to move New Jersey forward — praising her “welcome willingness to take on big challenges” and “actionable plans” on housing, transportation, energy, and education. Leadership in action. #VoteNJ

The Affordable Care Act became law in 2010 Since then, Republicans tried to repeal, replace, defund and overturn it NEVER did they offer a viable alternative to it Now-as health insurance costs are exploding-they’re terrified Because it threatens their hegemony over the American body politic

#ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue #DV1 Without fair representation, the election becomes a tool to give dictators a fake mandate. Former US Rep @wileynickel.com breaks down what’s at stake in his State (North Carolina) and what YOU can do. (3min. Read) open.substack.com/pub/wileynic...

globalnews.ca/news/1148908... thetravel.com/canadian-snowb… I knew the snowbird population here in Florida was very light this year. Canadians stayed away due to border patrol, treating them like criminals. I don't blame them. #wtpBLUEU#DemVoice1e#ProudBlueu#VoteBlueforOurFuturere

@AbigailSpanberger.bsky.social is a skilled public servant who has been a CIA case officer and U.S. Representative for Virginia, CD 7 Her focus as Governor of Virginia is to protect Virginians and get things done  #LiveBlue #ResistanceUnited #ONEV1 #RU26

Republicans in Congress feel powerful by giving their fearless leader full run of the government. This is my beautiful PitBull, Freddy. Freddy was neutered, and he still had more balls than Republicans. #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #VoteBlueforOurFuture

Republicans say “thoughts and prayers” to working families—then skip town before doing their jobs. The lights are on in Congress, but the GOP’s been on permanent vacation. #RepublicansAreAWOL

I live in a complex with a homeowners association. I want to paint my house this winter. I have to submit pictures, forms and the HOA supplies the color palate that I can choose from. #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #VoteBlueforOurFuture

Veterans fought for this country. Republicans fought… each other on the House floor. The troops showed up. The Republicans didn’t. #RepublicansAreAWOL

It’s a shame it comes down to this … BUT You’ve gotta do what you’ve gotta do 🫤 To counter Trump, Virginia Democrats plan to redraw congressional map #LiveBlue #ResistanceUnited #ONEV1 www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

#ResistanceRoots Gertrude Ederle was born on this day in 1905 in New York City. Ederle is best known as the first woman to swim the English Channel, setting a new record of 14 hours 34 minutes. Hard of hearing most of her life, she spent much of her free time teaching deaf children to swim. /1
