@police.takomaparkmd.gov my daughter tells me a black and white cat followed her from Piney Branch park in case anyone is missing it

Trump’s goons are using chemical weapons against the public.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Maybe the declaration of independence is next

They are mixing up their false narratives--DEI/green scam/etc. Oh I see, they are just stealing $ from blue states, which already pay more into federal taxes. x.com/russvought/s... $8 billion in "Green New Scam" funding cancelled ... CA, CO, CT, DE, HI, IL, MD, MA, MN, NH, NJ, NM, NY, OR, VT, WA

As the government shutdown begins, remember that one of the biggest deficit drivers of the past 20 years are Republican tax cuts for the wealthy & corporations. The issue isn't programs that help millions of Americans, it's giveaways to the rich.

I hope in 2026/28, more people can connect the dots that Republicans took away healthcare from Americans and tanked the U.S. economy while lying about trans people and "illegals" to distract them.

Republicans clearly flunked civics in high school. Undocumented immigrants CAN'T get Medicare, Medicaid, or healthcare tax credits. It’s against the law. These guys lie because the facts are not on their side.

Donald Trump promised lower costs. Instead, his policies are hiking energy prices and squeezing working families. While billionaires and fossil fuel companies reap the rewards, Trump is dismantling clean energy projects while Americans are left paying more just to keep the lights on.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Again, the biggest crime hot spot in DC is the Trump White House. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Electricity and natural gas bills are rising for millions of Americans. A new column from @AmProg explains how Trump's actions are only making the problem worse: www.americanprogress.org/article/resi...

SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in a college applicant's file is blatantly unconstitutional ALSO SCOTUS: considering race as one factor in targeting whom to detain and deport is cool cool cool

Another example of LNG terminals damaging livelihoods and quality of life. insideclimatenews.org/news/0709202...

We're hitting the streets tomorrow and marching to the White House to make it clear once and for all: federal forces OUT of DC NOW!!! #FreeDC Make sure to RSVP: freedcproject.org/event-list/w...

Disturbing to see National Park Service participating in removal of people's belongings outside a church on New York Ave. @freedcproject.bsky.social #FreeDC

A simple thought exercise to share w/ anyone who thinks authoritarianism is too "abstract" or that it's "just" a problem for non-citizens or criminals. How would you really prove you are who you know you are?

Not shocking that fossil fuels are hazardous, but it's upsetting that @govwesmoore.bsky.social approves coal export permits despite reasoned & moral pleas from Curtis Bay community to stop the harms from coal exports @sbclt @coalfreecurtisbay.bsky.social www.baltimoresun.com/2025/08/18/s...

As summers bring dangerous heat to more places across the U.S., federal, state & local leaders must step up with extreme heat plans, worker protections, access to cooling centers & other ways to keep people safe as temps keep rising. 🌡️

Despite ‘No Tax on Tips,’ Trump’s Bill Is Bad for Tipped Workers. The legislation is especially harmful to working families--cuts to Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) total $900 billion, or 28 times the impact of “no tax on tips." www.americanprogress.org/article/desp...

New from @lucerowx.bsky.social and the team at @americanprogress.bsky.social: a timeline for implementation of the "one big beautiful bill" that will bring so much unnecessary harm to America. See details and filter by topic area here: www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

NEW @americanprogress.bsky.social piece by me & my colleague @codyhankerson.bsky.social to highlight the dangers of cutting jobs, budgets, & research for NOAA and NWS, as climate disasters like the TX floods are getting more frequent, intense, & catastrophic: www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

10 Egregious Things You May Not Know About the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. (because stripping away health care, food, and clean energy to give more $$$ to the top 1% wasn't enough for Republicans) www.americanprogress.org/article/10-e...

Dr. Coni: One patient had been receiving treatment with eye drops, but then I didn’t see her for months.. I wondered what had happened to her. When she finally returned, she told me she had lost her Medicaid coverage and couldn’t afford her drops. As a result, she had gone blind in one eye.

Senate Republicans barely passed their big, awful bill. Hiking electricity prices and taking away health care and food to transfer wealth from the working class to giveaways for billionaires. Just awful. Republicans are blatantly serving the wealthy against the interests of working Americans.

Republicans' "Big Beautiful Bill" raises our costs so they can cut billionaires' taxes—spread the word.

Employers are THE problem in suppressing American wages by exploiting immigrant workers and offshoring to countries with low wages & weak worker protections. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

"To take away the cheapest, quickest way to put more electrons on the grid, solar, makes no sense." @schumer.senate.gov called out Trump and Congressional Rs' war on clean energy that will take away family's jobs and increase costs. The Senate must reject Republicans' Big Ugly Bill.

– New taxes on clean energy investment. – Termination of the Fuel Economy Standards for new cars and trucks. – A new tax subsidy for coal. It's a collection of the worst, most harmful ideas you can imagine. And the Republican Senate is voting for them now.

The Senate's "trillions for billionaires" bill just got even worse, kicking more people off medicaid and ⬆️ utility bills for families by hundreds of $$$. The Republican rate hike bill even adds higher taxes to solar and wind while giving more $ to coal and oil companies. Corrupt, reverse Robin Hood.

The Republican Rate Hike — their Big Ugly Bill — would kill over 840,000 jobs and raise our energy bills by hundreds of dollars a year. This bill would be a total disaster for our communities, planet, and wallets. 📱 Call your senators at 202-224-3121 and tell them to kill this extreme bill.

Don Berwick points out many of the administration’s actions under the guise of “making America Healthy Again (MAHA)” will in fact make Americans’ health worse. He argues for following the science and investing in what drives health. www.americanprogress.org/article/how-...

While billionaires are getting tax cuts, Trump is raising your bills.

In a Gangster State, the dear leader wastes other people's money on military parades to broadcast his fake strength, attacks the legislative branch and destroys programs that benefit the people.

We’ve uncovered fraud, waste, and abuse! ICE has now exceeded its congressionally approved budget. ICE is violating the Antideficiency Act by spending beyond Congressional authorization.

Trump just invited the CEO of Hess Corp. up to the podium to speak about the action revoking California clean vehicle waivers The president is literally catering to the interests of #BigOil

Great news! California is continuing its progress on clean cars and trucks in the face of Trump's illegal attempts to preempt state action. www.gov.ca.gov/2025/06/12/g...

The technology exists to clean up pollution from power plants, but it costs money so the gas industry told Trump it wants to skip out on pesky air pollution controls and clean technologies--just make Americans pay for it with our health instead. www.edf.org/media/trump-...

Yet another brick in the "Make America Sick Again" wall. More people will get sick and die from air pollution and Trump is suppressing the science explaining why and what to do about it. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2025...

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

Shocker. A former autodealer in public office still acting in autodealer interests--penalizing EV and hybrid drivers since they don't have to waste money on maintenance at the dealership. www.semafor.com/article/06/0...

THIS. "You’re damn right I want everyone in America to have free healthcare, free education, and wages where they can easily afford a nice home. I support saving our environment ... and we should never bully or punch down on marginalized communities." open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Reverting to more coal and gas gouges consumers, but thanks to Trump and the fossil fuel industry, we can expect this to keep happening. Coal and Gas Plants Were Closing. Then Trump Ordered Them to Keep Running. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/c...

June 14 No Kings Day of Defiance--everywhere the U.S., and of course in the People's Republic of Takoma Park! mobilize.us/s/8wfFRr

We should definitely pass a tax bill that gives more money to billionaires so they can buy more elections.

Just a reminder that the cuts Elon first made in his primary spoil of buying Trump the presidency are still killing 103 humans an hour.

⚠️ Germany is at a crossroads: It can increase reliance on U.S. LNG exports—weakening its national security and energy independence—or it can tap into its thriving clean tech market and workforce to accelerate toward cleaner alternatives. Read more: www.americanprogress.org/article/lng-...
