#ACTION Now is the time to call your congressperson (house rep) and tell them you will be watching their vote next week regarding release of the Epstein files. We will be watching to see if they vote to protect pedophiles — or not.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

Today in Boston. Over a million people turned out. Even the drone couldn't get it all. #NoKingsDay #BostonStrong #ICEProtest

There were more people at the No Kings protest in Boise, Idaho

Walz announces that Rep. Melissa Hortman is dead as a result of a "politically motivated assassination"

George Floyd was murdered by police five years ago today. The Say Their Names cemetery in Minneapolis features memorials for Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Amadou Diallo, Oscar Grant, Korryn Gaines, Freddie Gray and far too many more Black people who died at the hands of police.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics.  Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages. Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare... This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

By @alejandrabee.bsky.social The House and Senate both voted to loosen regulations on air pollutants like dioxin and mercury, which are associated with higher cancer risk.

Ice needs to be abolished

Truth over lies. Thank you, @MeidasTouch ! youtube.com/watch?v=WnEv...

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Socialism is what they called public power.  Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Do you know where your birth certificate is? Millions of Americans don’t. But under the SAVE Act, providing documents like a birth certificate or passport would be required to register to vote. Send Congress a message demanding that they reject this sweeping voter restriction bill:

We will not be distracted. We will not be discouraged. We’ve got our eyes on the prize. And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve. The time to organize is now. OcasioCortez.com

🔥 PETE ON HEGSETH-GATE: “An epic fuck-up… these are not serious people… if there are no consequences, all the bluster from Trump about merit was bullshit… we deserve so much better…”

Weingarten: We didn't vote for Elon Musk to call Social Security a Ponzi scheme. We didn’t vote for Howard Lutnick to say, oh don't worry, no elderly people, including my mother, would care if they don’t get their checks from Social Security.

This is really the whole ball game right now, *particularly* among the institutions that make up civil society. (my parents definitely had this poster when I was growing up)

BREAKING: 34,000 people have showed up in Denver, Colorado this evening to see Bernie Sanders and AOC fight oligarchy and authoritarianism.

I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

Over 100,000 seats are up for grabs in 2025 — governors, mayors, city councils, state representatives, judges, school boards, and more. Taking back our power starts now.

The protests aren’t slowing down—they’re spreading. City to city, town to town. People are outraged, and they’re making it known. THIS IS WHAT DEMOCRACY LOOKS LIKE. But stay peaceful—don’t give Trump any excuse for violence or martial law.

I hate saying breaking news, but that’s what’s happening. This story is going to be everywhere.

“The US spent 8 decades building an international system of rules, norms and values that has produced the longest period of great power peace and global prosperity in human history.” Fareed Zakaria on how upending the world order will only weaken America: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

These are terrible times — the worst I’ve lived through, and I’ve lived through some bad ones. But in hundreds of thousands of ways, you are beacon lights. You are the beginnings of positive change. robertreich.substack.com/p/a-sunday-t...

18-year-old Simon right before @schumer.senate.gov called the cops on him: "I'm sick and tired of doing the work that senators are supposed to do." This is shameful. Senator Schumer needs to step aside.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

I find "listen to the women" excellent advice in this specific case and... in life in general. ♀️ #VoteNO 👎
