Over the last year, many wonderful folks have reached out to ask what can be done to stand for democracy, protect our neighbors, and create a more vibrant and compassionate community. www.pahouse.com/friel/whatca...

"Homeownership should be within reach for the people who teach our children, protect our neighborhoods, and keep our local economy moving — but right now, it’s not. We owe it to them to fix that.” More info: More info: pahouse.com/PolicyCommit...

Starter housing is in short supply, and the price is out of reach for too many people. @repfriel.com brought the committee to Phoenixville today to talk with housing advocates and experts about what can be done to put more Pennsylvanians in homes.

By the way, we should never be surprised when media companies like Paramount, Disney, Facebook, or any of the rest of them cave to this would-be-Authoritarian. Their ethos is money, not free speech. Their path is convenience, not character.

I thought we were supposed to get rid of cancel culture, not put it on steroids. #kimmel #colbert

This is garbage. Programs that celebrate diversity, pursue equity, and promote inclusion don't discriminate or violate Title VI. It's a straw man argument. www.npr.org/2025/04/03/n...

“The president is trying to crush the opposition. He’s trying to crush Maine,” civil rights attorney David Webbert said. To him, it’s as if Trump is saying: “‘Maine believes in transgender rights? Well, you’re going to see what happens to you.’” With @bangordailynews.bsky.social

I am in shock at the stupidity of @gavinnewsom.bsky.social inviting Steve Bannon on his podcast. Many of us on the right sacrificed careers to fight Bannon, and Newsom is trying to make a career and a presidential run by building him up. Unforgivable and insane

We will really need to fight for fair funding in this budget. Reach out to your state rep and state senator today to make sure they know that education funding matters for pa students. @pafairfunding.bsky.social @workingfamilies.org @edvoterspa.bsky.social www.spotlightpa.org/news/2025/03...

Your wallet shrinks, your 401(k) tanks, but Trump's first thought is to help Elon.

How it started How it's going

Al Green stood up. Would like to see more people stand up.

This says it all.

President Zelenskyy was the only adult in the room, and definitely the only true leader.

Could not agree more. The Prez & VP are shameful, embarrassing Putin puppets & a disgrace to our country. 🤮 #SlavaUkraine 🇺🇦

To President Zekenskyy and the people of Ukraine: we are so very sorry. @english.nv.ua @ukraineworld.bsky.social

The flushing of public investment, of talent, and of trustworthiness is breathtakingly inefficient. It's like burning down the house because you need to make some updates. It is so much quicker to destroy than build, and we will be paying for this for generations. #DOGE #Trump

I think we need a well coordinated #boycott of companies owned (in whole or in part) by #Musk, #Trump, and their high ranking political loyalists. Is anyone aware of research and organizing being done related to that?

Pay attention to this. Replacing JAGs with loyalists enables whatever orders Trump and Hegseth issue to be interpreted as lawful.

The cards.

I said this just this morning- we are turning into the bad guys. From former GOP congressman @adamkinzinger.bsky.social

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

the single most un-american and anti-constitutional statement ever uttered by an american president

Public education is foundational for maintaining a free country. To quote Thomas Jefferson, “Educate and inform the whole mass of the people… They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.” @pafairfunding.bsky.social @paschoolswork.bsky.social www.pottsmerc.com/2025/02/11/l...

Cuban has it right in this one statement!!

I know pointing out hypocrisy doesn’t matter anymore, but if there’s one person I wouldn’t want to be the judge of who goes into locker rooms, it would be the man who openly boasted about walking into dressing rooms of underage girls

Welp… less than 1 day later… Leadership! 🎪 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/04/b...

What are you even doing @fetterman.senate.gov ? It's time to stand up for the people you went to DC to serve.

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Chaos is a feature, not a bug, with this administration.

Yeah... so this is America. We don't 'tow the line'. And we don't abide tyrants and bullies. Crap like this only activates us.

As a Christian, and a Democrat, I have some thoughts.

Of the people. By the people. For the people. We don't abide tyrants.

The Air Force has removed videos of its storied Tuskegee Airmen and the Women Airforce Service Pilots, or WASPs — the female World War II pilots who were vital in ferrying warplanes for the military — to comply with the Trump admin’s crackdown on DEI initiatives. apnews.com/article/air-...

"unfathomably cruel". Trump’s abrupt refugee halt led to cancellations of all scheduled refugee arrivals, including 1,660 Afghans, some of whom were family members of U.S. military personnel. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

For every 1 Trump voter I know who will seemingly defend and justify *anything* Trump does, I bet I know 5 Trump voters who actually feel pretty uncomfortable (if they are paying attention) with some of his actions this week. 1/🧵

This is good news for homeless folks in Pottstown... And the community in general. @pottstownmercury.bsky.social www.pottsmerc.com/2025/01/23/m...

Love it. (If only it were that easy!)

"Accepting a pardon would only insult the Capitol police officers, rule of law and, of course, our nation," she said. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

All these women who turned in January 6 terrorists are in danger tonight

Again, the World Health Organization is the single most important global entity in preventing, tracking and controlling outbreaks, epidemics and pandemics and is especially important as climate change and deforestation allow pathogens to mutate, become more infectious and spread to new regions

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social on Mike Johnson considering conditioning disaster aid: "Never in California did we question whether or not we, as taxpayers in the largest state in the Union, should support the people of Louisiana at a time of emergency and need. We’d never condition it."

Just took a stab at my Grammy's chiffon cake (with my own twist- whipped butter cream icing and toasted coconut and almonds on top). Yum!

Looks like there is only one person interested in suppressing the truth, and it’s not the Jan 6 committee

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the next president of the United States of America.

In a world where Potter has the power, be George Bailey.

Who else has had the tradition of putting oranges in your stockings at Christmas? If not oranges, do you do something else? 🍊 🪙

Lee Jae-myung, Leader of South Korea's Democratic Party, live-streamed himself scaling the walls of the National Assembly to bypass military barricades so that he could vote to overturn the President's martial law.
