Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. knew what he was talking about when he said... "OUR LIVES BEGIN TO END, THE DAY WE BECOME SILENT ABOUT THINGS THAT MATTER". Let's never become silent, friends. Let's let our voices be heard loud and proud.

Feels like this one needs a repost about now. 💙

The fact that top Republicans are already fearmongering about, lying about, the No Kings rallies this Saturday, across the US, tells you how worried they are about public pressure and protest against their reactionary, autocratic, anti-American agenda.

The only way we save our country is through our numbers. Trump and MAGA don't have the majority, not even close. Overwhelm them with numbers. Resist everywhere. They are too reckless, incompetent, and self-destructive. Also, divide and conquer. Many fissures, especially around Epstein.

People are constantly asking me — what can I do? Here are five, practical next steps you can take to make a difference. https://youtu.be/8W-lVRQQGtI?si=3QsGs2oX7VZngdJh

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

The smartest response to fear of immigration you'll ever see. "The elite need to inflame tension on immigration cause they need someone to blame for the problems THEY'RE causing our socities."

Holy crap that’s bad.

Amen. If someone tells you it's sunny and 75, and someone else tells you there's a blizzard going on, your job is not to report both sides. Your job is to look out the window & see what is actually going on. I worked in TV news for 20 years. Too many producers have failed to look out the window.

That’s the attitude 🔥🔥🔥🥰🥰🥰🥰 Good morning everyone

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram. Community action works. Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DPZL2AL...

Listen to the video. This is what people have to do to get through algorithmic censorship. With Meta, X, Tik Tok - we know only what they let us know. And AI has made their "thought police" capable of even reading that. Maybe we'll have to bring back pig Latin or cursive to outwit AI censorship.

If you hide your gender identity to fit in, never feel like you've betrayed yourself🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 It's proof that you have a beautiful and kind heart. Chiitan will continue to send out messages until the world becomes a place where you can live with confidence and be yourself.

I know y’all are as pissed off as I am. I need to ask a favor. Do something kind for a stranger today. Hear me out please. Can be simple as complimenting the person at the check out counter. A smile at a stranger on the street. Anything. We need more smiles.

The Maine secretary of state's office said that these allegations are being investigated.

That speech was simply appalling. Glad veterans in Congress are speaking out.

"My advice is to say yes to party, trip, adventure, raise a glass to me in cheers," the woman wrote in her obituary.

Don't worry about not fitting in, because fitting in isn't an important part of your life. Be proud of being different♡ Your life is shining🌈

The New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services announced this week that updated flu and COVID-19 vaccines and existing RSV vaccines are widely available and is recommending at-risk groups to get immunized.

BREAKING: After fierce advocacy, the Trump Admin is providing more than $1 million in delayed education funding promised to NH. This is far from the end. Millions in cancelled federal funding is still outstanding. I will not rest until every penny of federal funding promised to NH is delivered.

It’s gone so quickly from ‘boat people’ to all immigrants. So quickly from ‘I don’t mind if they come here legally and pay taxes’ to ‘actually it’s anyone foreign’. We are living in the ‘first they came for’ poem. All to give the population a scapegoat so the super rich can hoard yet more wealth.

This act of love and kindness melted my heart ❤️

What are you doing to help your corner of the world be better? That is the question I ask myself every day. In the meantime, we continue to grow for our community. BTW, Epstein files! #flowers #foodsupply #farmlife

The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

A new proclamation by Gov. Kelly Ayotte bans all open fires in New Hampshire until further notice. The new limits also bar smoking in or near woodlands, and on public trails. Without a period of sustained rainfall, the rules could remain in effect until winter.

This is what politicization of the Justice Department results in.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

It’s simple: Members of Congress, who rely on the public’s trust to do their jobs and who have access to privileged information, should not be trading stocks. I’m proud to join a bipartisan coalition of members from across the country to finally ban Members of Congress from owning or selling stocks.

There are moments when the world tries to convince you to shrink. But within you lives a heart that is bold, radiant, and unbreakable. #sunset #sky #photography #nature #colorado #inspiration #clouds #cloud #wellbeing #birds #reflection #photo #healing

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.
