Don’t tempt me with a good time

***adds to the calendar***

Juneteenth is a celebration of emancipation, but also a reminder that the work of freedom isn’t finished. Together, we are working to build a multiracial, representative democracy for everyone — and we’re in it for the long haul.

📢📢📢 Say it louder for the people in the back

We must remember that in America we have the right to free speech and lawful protest. Using the military to silence criticism of the government is unconstitutional and counter to our American values.

“And when push Comes to shove I will send a fully armed battalion To remind you of my love” Hamilton still hits.

"Colorado lawmakers may table attempted TABOR reckoning" is, in fact, one of the most Colorado headlines I've ever seen

Donald Trump is kidnapping and disappearing people—we cannot let him get away with it.

The line for this term was never what he was going to do, it was always what we were going to do in response

Here’s a VP who can hold a trophy without breaking it 😍

Hear me out: the women in space explore the Titanic…

Is it that the administration doesn’t want to bring him home, or is he too beaten (or worse)? He needs to be home and he needs to be home now.

AOC: I was watching earlier today on TV, someone was saying, “Why are AOC and Bernie going to Idaho?” I’ll give you one simple answer: It’s because you matter

Every time we talk about the SAVE Act, we need to connect the dots between the climate crisis and forced migration. Voting and access to democracy is a climate issue, just like it’s a gender justice issue.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

If 25 hours and 1 minute wasn’t enough @booker.senate.gov for ya, do yourself a favor and rewatch @corybooker.com’s epic announcement video for the 2020 presidential race (aka my favorite campaign announcement video of all time): youtu.be/mx5m6DDFupg?...

Booker finally yields after more than 25 hours of speaking 👏👏👏

Reminder that Cory Booker is the first Black person elected to the Senate from New Jersey and the fourth Black person elected to the US Senate.

Incredible. This sucker is doing down, just as one Dem was predicting to me. Means GOP has to go back to the House Rules Committee and pass a new rule for taking up the SAVE Act -- this time without a separate provision that kills GOP Rep. Luna's bill to accommodate new parents in Congress.

While you were watching Sen. Booker's marathon filibuster, Colorado Democratic Congresswoman Brittany Pettersen and Florida Republican Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna brought 9 Republicans along with every House Democrat to block Speaker Johnson's attempt to ban proxy voting for new parents!

I would rather Google “What are the rules of a filibuster?” over “Does fascism make you nauseous?” any day of the week!

Cory Booker with the late and great John Lewis, posted by Booker in 2020 saying that “We all stand on the shoulder of giants.” May John Lewis’ legacy be guiding all of our activism today and tomorrow

In 2012, @booker.senate.gov was the Newark mayor when he ran INTO THE FLAMES & saved his neighbor’s life: “’Im a neighbor that did what most neighbors would do, which is to jump into action to help a friend.” Today, he’s running into the flames to help the country. www.politico.com/story/2012/0...

More useful things Senate Democrats could do: - Hold a joint press conference demanding Trump and Musk restore constitutional governance - Hold a joint press conference demanding Musk resign from DOGE - Announce a Congressional boycott of X

Things Democratic Senators could do that would be useful: - Withdraw unanimous consent from all Senate business until constitutional rule was restored - Refuse to vote for any legislation until constitutional rule was restored - Boycott as a caucus until constitutional rule was restored

CORY BOOKER: One of the first big, bold attempts at Good Trouble from our elected officials. We need MAY MORE boldness, but this is a tremendous moment—btwn 1 weekend with 1000s of ppl who turned out for the #TeslaTakedown and the millions who will turn out for #HandsOff www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2TNTn6B/

The more of us who are involved the safer it is for everyone …:::A haiku for our times:::…. #TeslaTakedown

🙋🏻‍♀️ presente en Aurora Colorado

Exactly this.

More than 50 people came out to the first protests targeting the Tesla location in Aurora, CO today! If you want to join us (and you should), you can find a list of upcoming Tesla protests here: www.teslatakedown.com @teslatakedown.com #TeslaTakedown #aurora #tesla #takedown #colorado #co

We got a friendly wave from the cop driving around when we were leaving :)

A story: this morning I printed out 15 protest chant sheets since I thought we’d be lucky to have 20-25 people at the Aurora, Colorado #TelsaTakedown. Little did I know, people would show up and shout out the entire protest: chanting, singing, dancing, and connecting! More than I ever dreamed!

Swifties against Tesla!!!!!

This sign embodies so much: seen in Aurora, Colorado!

#teslatakedown @teslatakedown.com #AuroraCO great day for a protest! Thanks @rosemariochoa.bsky.social for organizing!

AURORA TURNED OUTTTTTT

#TeslaTakedown On the light rail to the Aurora CO Tesla dealership- home of Felon President making up Venezuelan gangs here and used to justify his kidnappings and deportations to El Salvador etc .

Across the street with Tesla truck unloading at Aurora CO #TeslaTakeback

I was the one who spoke to the Aurora police. They were polite & proactive. I assured them my top priority was to keep everyone in our community safe. Including the Telsa workers & even the two of them. In Colorado, even when we protest, we protest with joy & songs & dancing & solidarity.

We were there - So much momentum!! See you at #handsoff next weekend in #Denver #COpolitics #teslatakedown
