To be honest, we had a very hard time deciding which of the Trump admin atrocities to post this morning. But the life threatening attack on a South Carolina judge after she ruled against trump’s policies and he tweeted about her stands out.

To all the moms out there raising kids on the spectrum, despite the press conference today led by two people with zero medical experience, know this- you did NOT cause your child’s autism. Hugs!

Dems flipped a congressional seat in Virginia yesterday by a huge margin! This is what we all need to work to make happen in the mid-terms. Let’s do this!

More lies about mail in voting. We are NOT the only country that allows it. It has NOT ever been proven to be fraudulent. Trump knows the mid terms will flip Congress and he is terrified.

A sitting US President rolled out the literal red carpet to a man currently under indictment by the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity. This is truly beyond the pale.

Listening to the future Speaker of the House at ILDCCA’s brunch on Dem Day in Springfield. Inspiring!!! Let’s do this! #TakeBackTheHouse

Proud of the stand that the Texas Democrats are making by breaking quorum and staying here in Illinois? Here is your chance to meet them! If you can, please join Democratic candidate for Congress Yasmeen Bankole on Monday, Aug. 11th, between 4 and 6 pm as she hosts a joint fundraiser.

It’s been quite a week, amirite? Tariffs,terrible job numbers, red states gerrymandering House majorities, Trump adding a gilded ballroom to the White House, the likely pardon of convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, etc. Practice some self care today - then get back to resisting tomorrow!

We don’t normally quote republicans, but Ike was right.

Have a wonderful Sunday and remember….

From the official White House Twitter account. They are saying the quiet part out loud. We have a President who is openly celebrating and pursuing retribution against his political enemies while the GOP majority in Congress sits by and lets it happen. We HAVE to take back the House and the Senate!

Women's Equality Day is coming up on August 26th. To mark this important day, DWDC is collecting donations to support and lift up domestic violence victims. You can shop and Please help if you are able. Thank you! Access the wishlist here: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Dyan Page getting to the heart of this. Let’s remember why this matters.

Republicans know that trump’s BBB will hurt millions of vulnerable Americans. How do we know that? Because they timed implementation of some of the worst cuts to hit AFTER the 2026 midterms.

Good read on this year’s SCOTUS decisions www.aclu.org/news/civil-l...

The news this week has been chaotic and infuriating. Wishing you a moment of zen this morning.

Here is an important opportunity to engage and use your voice. July 17 is a national day of protest, in honor of John Lewis. There are two events in DuPage that you can attend. One is in Naperville and one is in Glen Ellyn. Hope to see you there!

This is just plain wrong. Vote Democratic in 2026!

It’s hard today to joyously celebrate Independence Day when we are currently so far from the principles of liberty and justice for all. If we cannot today celebrate the reality, let’s acknowledge the beauty of the vision. Let’s recommit to working together to put our country back on the right path.

This is what our government is doing in our name. This is a real post, gleefully celebrating unimaginable and likely illegal treatment of detainees. The tent camp rapidly built in the middle of the Everglades, in summer heat, for detainees given no due process. Get fired up for the 2026 midterms.

A sitting California State Senator, Alex Padilla, asked Kristi Noem a question. Her armed thugs threw him to the freaking ground and cuffed him. Fascism is here. Our answer has to be to resist in any way we are able.

On Saturday, June 14, Trump will observe a military parade in D.C. military vehicles, including tanks, will roll down Pennsylvania Avenue. Democratic and non-partisan groups have pronounced June 14 to be “No Kings Day.” Protests are planned all over the US. www.aclu-il.org/en/events/no...

Today we remember D-Day, when our soldiers landed in Europe to fight back against fascism and xenophobia. Today, we are all called to resist the fascism spreading outward from the Trump administration.

Happy Pride Month!

A little hump day inspiration for all of us. Find a way, every day, big or small, to make the work a better place now and for our kids and grandkids.

When you get tired and want to tune out of politics, remember what’s at stake here. It’s almost a certainty that the House will pass this monstrous heartless bill. Call your Senators and demand that they stand strong and refuse to pass it in the Senate.

We are SOLD OUT of tickets for our Tinker Harvey lunch. Sadly, we cannot accommodate any additional guests. Thanks for the support!

This SATURDAY! If you live in the Chicago area, you definitely want to be at this event.

The latest attack on science, this time on women’s health research. The Trump administration has ended the Women’s Health Initiative, a study of 42,000 women over decades. Call your member of Congress and demand that it reinstate this critical work. www.science.org/content/arti...

Unprecedented! www.lwv.org/newsroom/pre...

Make your plan to stand up for Democracy this weekend in the Chicago area. Here are a few planned protests that you can participate in! #handsoff #50501

This might be the scariest thing we have seen yet. Trump syncophants in the administration and in congress are replacing their American flag lapel pins with Trump head pins. And you can buy these on Amazon! This is what we are fighting against.

In what has turned out to be an historic election yesterday, democratic women and men won at least 48 of 49 contested elections! And we, the members and allies of the DWDC, played an important role in those victories with our successful texting program on behalf of democratic candidates!

Mark your calendar for April 5th and join the Hands Off protest in Chicago. It’s an absolute fact that if at least 3.5% of a population engages in non-violent protest, it never fails to drive change. Be part of that 3.5%!

Truth from my governor

If you are as puzzled and concerned by this administration’s priorities as we are, remember that you can take action locally right now! Vote in local elections on April 1st in Illinois!

Today is International Women’s Day! Let’s raise our metaphorical glasses to honor each other with this toast:

Many of us are feeling angry, so very angry, at the policy and the actions coming out of the White House every day now. We can let that anger eat at us or we can choose to channel it into action. Make good choices.

In what has to be his most unconstitutional authoritarian power grab anti-first-amendment attack yet, trump posted this on truthsocial this morning.

House republicans passed a budget resolution that, if eventually turned into law, will cut as much as $880 billion from Medicaid over the next few years. The human suffering will be incalculable. Here are a few facts about Medicaid in case you’d like to call your congressional representatives.

You have probably seen the call for a national day of zero spending on Friday, the 28th. Spend nothing and show our economic power! Consider instead donating to one of these special election campaigns. Let’s take back the House!

It’s Girl Scout cookie sake time!

For the vast majority of us, federal taxes will go up if republicans pass their current budget proposal, but together we can make a difference - now's the time to take action, make your voice heard and shape our collective future, call your representatives in Congress.
