Congress has a choice. They can protect Americans — or let dangerous cuts go through. ✅ Democrats’ Preferred Funding Bill: • Fund the government through Oct 31—no shutdown • Reverse cruel Medicaid cuts hidden in the Republican’s Horrible Budget Bill • Permanently extend ACA subsidies

Why is the military chain of command not pushing back on these killings? #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks

No Kings 2 Day is Oct 18th and will attract a record number of protestors. Millions of us marched in June. In the wake of so much capitulation by those who should know better, it would be nice for University Presidents, Law Firm Managing Partners & CEOs to join us‼️ #ProudBlue

The White House abolishes department of education to combat ‘woke’ culture by making the country (more) stupid. #DepartmentofEducation #StephenMiller #Pinks

How many humans will be sacrificed before someone steps in and stops him? Which of those in our government that have the power and authority to step up will do so? Who is not a coward? Who doesn’t condone senseless murder? Has anyone had enough yet?

Justice is so very different for white men 🤬💔

😵‍💫 this is where we are in America 2025

Books can be a gateway to imagination and vocabulary expansion. I love it.

Like many in Congress, Manchin was not advocating for his constituents but for his family business, power, and wealth. Time to reclaim Congress for the people. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks

In 1912, Teddy Roosevelt spoke at the Ohio Constitutional Convention in favor of placing power in the hands of an engaged democracy. Today, the president seeks to hoard power and rule over people rather than leading them. Trump continues to scream his small stick energy. (1/2)

Let’s be clear, when this Administration says everything is on the table when it comes to keeping Social Security solvent, what they really mean is that they want to cut benefits and raise the retirement age. They have no intention of raising the taxable max income to bolster the program. 1/4

Talarico’s saying something I’ve been shouting for years “There’s a big difference between the National Democratic Party and Texas Democrats.”

People Born Across The Bridge Live 20 Years Longer. Why? A Black child born in Windsor, Ontario, will likely live into her eighties. A Black child born the same night in Detroit, visible across the river, is not likely to reach her seventies. Policy is deadly. open.substack.com/pub/theintel...

The United States is no longer about right versus wrong; it's us versus them by design. And it's all manufactured! None of this shit is organic, all contrived by evil people. The PSY-OP from hell is here! Be as courageous as you can and PUSH THE FUCK BACK!!👊🏻👊🏿👊👊🏼

Hegseth, RFK Jr, McMahon, Gabbard, Noem, and Patel have been placed in positions they are completely unqualified for by Trump and Congress. What could go wrong? Our national security, our health, education, and Democracy will be weakened, compromised, and eventually destroyed. Not hyperbole!

“If it weren't for SNAP, I wouldn't be where I am today…Republicans are trying to rip that lifeline away from millions of kids, veterans & working families.” @duckworth.senate.gov is serving a #CupOfJoe w/ a latte reality. Tell your Congressperson: vote NO on DJT’s budget.

Gurl, we’ve all been there! 💅 You thought you were just sliding into her DMs but you were actually weaponizing the DOJ on main!

Trump administration shuts down Smithsonian exhibit even though it was a success because it didn’t “align” with his “vision”. 🙄 apple.news/Aoi8YO0PBT5u...

🚨Suddenly🚨Republicans are speaking out against the silencing of Jimmy Kimmel. I am exceedingly grateful; however, I find it curious the concentration camps did not cross any lines for them.

The weak and pathetic tRump tattled on Gov. Gavin Newsom to the secret service because of a tweet and press conference. Also! No more masks on ICE agents in California, thank you Governor Newsom! #Pinks #demaskingICE #tRumpIsApussy youtu.be/Lr-4i9TbtyE?...

🚨🚨🚨 7 point plan to save democracy and what YOU can do to help today. I have heard very little meaningful action coming from leadership and I don’t know if this is “it,” but this sounds promising. Just released on IG. Let’s do it!

Congratulations to Maple Mama. She has a lot of heart so it’s not surprising to me that she reached this milestone. Give @maplemama20.bsky.social a follow if you aren’t already. She’s a great friend to have on your side. 💙🥰

“He was talking negatively about me directly… proclaiming I was involved in the great white replacement. Yeah, I’m not honoring that.” – Rep. Jasmine Crockett 👏🏽 This is courage. Period.

Trump loves to play the strongman, but in reality he is a weak, thin-skinned, petty little man-baby. #SundayThoughts #Pinks ☕️🌞☕️

Good Morning Friends ~ It’s #Sunday and that means many #Christians will be going to services to once again listen to how #Jesus helped those in need knowing that when they leave ~ they will return to actively hating those less fortunate. #SheShed

#MorningVibe “Gentleness…is a step in a healing direction. May we choose it today & again tomorrow. Real leadership doesn’t roar. It listens, it heals, it unites. & it’s within reach of us all.” Read this powerful essay from @mariashriver.bsky.social: tinyurl.com/hwhwsyj6

America is a composite made up from people from around the world. It is the president's job to remind us how successful we are because of that,

#Pinks #ProudBlue The best way to keep up with all elections and voter suppression laws is to go to local Democratic Committee Meetings. All elections are important! GOTV! 💙

I think Disney/ABC need to issue a public apology to not only to Kimmel but to the American people for selling us out for their bottom line. Then they can go fuck themselves because they crossed the line.

He should have just cut out everything she said before and after “I refuse to be a part of things” because that’s him. He’s never there and when he is, he’s playing for the other team, like he’s doing now.

Buddy, bless your heart, you voted for this. You voted for Republican representatives and senators in Congress because their racist nonsense sounded good to you. I’m sorry this is hurting you. It’s hurting the rest of us too. We live in a collective. Remember that next time you vote.

KEEP CANCELLING DISNEY SUBSCRIPTIONS! #CANCELDISNEY CANCEL DISNEY CANCEL HULU CANCEL ANY DISNEY TRIPS OR CRUISES. WE HAVE POWER 💙

Thank you so much, Jill. Love this post. Exactly what I, and so many of us needed today.

What a great post. Thank you, Jill! ❤️ Bookmarked.

This is awesome! Thanks!

And probably in the Epstein files.

If you canceled Disney+ and Hulu, please consider directing that money to PBS or NPR. You can set up a monthly donation and it’s a payment you were making anyway. It would send a GREAT message about our collective power as consumers. www.pbs.org www.npr.org 🙏 @stevethdemocrat.bsky.social

More cowbell
