It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

This is not the best part of the firing, but it’s in the Top 10.

Rest in power, Claudette Colvin. ♥️ A hero, a change maker, and an icon. I’m so sorry more people didn’t learn about your story in their grade school classes. May your light guide us as we continue to fight oppression in all its forms.

Fred Hampton was assassinated on this day in 1969. “We say we will work with anybody and form a coalition with anybody that has a revolution on their mind”.

I’m enrolled in Georgia Access — Georgia’s marketplace. Not only is my premium going up 39%, my out of pocket maximum is rising from $9,200 to $10,450. 🏥 If only Republican elected officials would prioritize healthcare reform instead of culture wars & kidnapping people off the streets.

There are a lot of rumors of ICE escalation in the Atlanta area this week. While we can’t verify any, we know folks are scared and it’s ALWAYS a good idea to be prepared! GLAHR is one of Georgia’s strongest immigrant advocacy organizations. Take a minute to put their hotline number in your phone.

Question…

Big news. Let’s goooo! #MEpolitics

Today, Maine State Auditor Matt Dunlap announced his campaign for Maine’s 2nd Congressional District because right now, Mainers are stuck with skyrocketing health care costs, a government shutdown, and a broken Congress. #ME02

What an incredible few days in beautiful NOLA! 🩷 seeing good friends, partners, allies, activists. We are stronger together! @feelgoodaction.bsky.social @sari.bsky.social @chrisdier.bsky.social @austinheller.bsky.social @asherhuey.bsky.social @alexpalombo.bsky.social @keepgunsoffcampus.bsky.social

Shooting our videos is a little bit different now.

No matter where you live, there’s likely an Indivisible group near you that’s organizing the pro-democracy majority to reclaim its power. Find your local group: indivisible.org/groups Or let us help connect you with your nearest organizers: indivisibleproject.formstack.com/forms/organi...

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."

Sarah: Audrey’s life is just as valuable as any other child’s. Audrey’s life is big. She doesn’t need words to be a good friend—but she does need Medicaid.

The GOP tax cut and spending bill passed by the Senate this week is expected to add trillions of dollars to the federal debt over the next decade. The savings would mostly go to top earners.

It took them 8 days to build a concentration camp in Florida. The government can work, and fast, when they want to. We have the right the demand better. Enough of the incremental crumbs! Fund #CommunityOverCorporations

You can’t say one thing and then do another. #MN08

This bill passes, people will die. Children will go even more hungry than before. This isn’t about stats or parties, it’s about people’s lives. Call your senators to VOTE NO.

Happy Pride! 🏳️‍🌈 #Gwinnett #Democrats

Brad has been released and the crowd breaks into a chant of “Free them all.”

More photos from No Kings Gwinnett! We’re standing up. Fighting back. Building power. @50501ga.bsky.social @gwinnettdems.bsky.social

Y’all!! We had THOUSANDS of people in Gwinnett come out and say enough is enough! ICE out of our neighborhoods. Hands off our Medicaid and Medicare! No kings here! Thank you so much for trusting me to lead on bullhorn and thank you for standing on the side of justice. #NOKINGS ✊🏼

Double.

Let this sink in. Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence. During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

She was right.

THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT IS THE LAW OF THE LAND AND A SUPERSTATUTE AND THE PRESIDENT CANNOT UNDO IT. sincerely, a constitutional law professor who also teaches employment discrimination

This is a moral moment. Will you join us?

Gwinnett County said #HANDSOFF loud and clear 🗣️✊🏼 Grateful for the trust to lead on the bullhorn (like my mentor taught me) and for our community standing up denouncing hate, & saying enough is enough. Y’all see this cross-generational, cross-racial solidarity movement? We’re not going anywhere!

RFK Jr. says there are no autistic poets, so we interviewed one. Hear from Elizabeth McClellan, @popelizbet.bsky.social, an award-winning poet, attorney, and legal educator based in Memphis, Tennessee.

Not saying anything you don’t know but this statement is not only patently false, it is the language of eugenics

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

📍University of Georgia HANDS OFF OUR STUDENTS 🗣️✊ Join United Campus Workers and Athens Immigrant Rights Coalition tomorrow at UGA to stand up for our students. #HandsOff 📢

DOGE keeps cutting agencies and funding and personnel, but no one I know has saved a dime on taxes. It’s almost like they are stripping the public good of resources to send that money to the oligarchs in tax cuts…

This is what happens when dictator wannabes work with dictators. If you think you’re safe just because “you’re a citizen”, you’re not. They are disappearing people off the streets. This administration is evil.

Can we get more of this? “The Japanese American National Museum will ‘scrub nothing,’ Fujioka said, and instead will highlight the importance of DEI. “Our community is based on diversity, equity is guaranteed to us in the Constitution, and inclusion is what we believe in,” Fujioka said.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Senator Cory Booker concludes his record-breaking Senate Floor speech after 25 hours Massive applause for Booker

THIS. As a Political Communicator, this is 1000% the truth. Storytelling is human. It’s emotional. It’s personal and it moves people to join movements.

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥
