California and New York paying taxes to this federal government in 2025 is tantamount to England and France paying taxes to Germany in 1940. The money is going to be used *against* you.

I'm proposing a $2000 stimulus check for all Americans making under 100k. They have paid too much in unfair tariff taxes.

Congrats to Moldova!!! Russia threw everything to destabilize the election and failed spectacularly. Democracy won 🙌🏼

🇲🇩 Moldova: Pro Europe PAS party appears on track to surpass 50% in today's election. Almost all of the remaining votes to be counted are from Moldovans living abroad in the US, Canada, and western Europe - 120,000 votes.

I guess we are literally living in The Twilight Zone

RIP Tony Harrison He was kind enough to let me use this poem in my Texture book - one of several of his that invariably make readers cry, specifically at exactly two and a half lines from the end

I wasn't born into privilege. I was raised by a single mom on SNAP & Medicaid. My Navy service was my oath forward. Now, I'm fighting for working families, not corporate donors. This is a 100% grassroots movement. Chip in to help us win! secure.actblue.com/donate/maria... #FL07 #CommunityFirst

Thank you Sen Ron Wyden. He saw in The EPSTEIN FILES that Epstein made over 4000 Wire Transfers through ONE Bank Totalling over 1 BILLION Dollars signaling obvious Payments in Sex Trafficking. Sen. Wyden is blowing this wide open!

History of America through the lens of the class system we were never taught. Excellent documentary. Must watch. www.filmsforaction.org/watch/plutoc...

Senate Democrats: DO NOT FUND the government when the current continuing resolution expires at the end of the month. SHUT IT DOWN unless DC is funded, the troops are withdrawn from our cities, elections are protected, the Epstein files are released in full... SHUT IT DOWN.

As union membership goes down, more wealth gets transferred up to the top 10% from the working class. There’s a reason why corporations and billionaires spend $400 million per year busting unions.

“…I am infuriated that the Air Force plans to grant military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt. She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it.” My latest in @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/honoring-a...

You can’t be a racist and be in my circle. Doesn’t matter who you are. Hate has no place in my heart. That includes the blue on blue hate that is showing its evil head on this platform.

Imagine replacing Joni "We are all going to die" Ernst With Josh "I'll literally crawl up stairs just to talk with you" Turek THAT'S a Senator Iowa can believe in! bsky.app/profile/josh...

Plus a big protest in Ohio, Vance booed in Indiana, and more

200 days into Trump's term, where are we? In the race between Trump's authoritarianism and efforts to resist it, authoritarianism is ahead. And while there are hopeful signs from the public, the chance of effective resistance is, for now, being fatally undermined by the capitulation of the elites.

The Republican Party is destroying the Department of Education because it needs stupid people. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-republ... #departmentofeducation

Fuck Justice Roberts , Thomas , Alito , Gorsuch , Kavanaugh, Coney Barrett!!! Fucking traitors to our country !! 🖕🏼

When you are educated, it increases your capacity to empathize at a higher level of consciousness.

I too am a proud bleeding heart liberal and I will tell the world that. #USDemocracy

🧵Just like optimisticsoap (IG) I’ve seen a wave of defeatism—“What elections?” “Why bother?” That hopelessness? It’s not wisdom. It’s surrender. And it’s exactly what authoritarians want: for us to give up before the fight even starts. Here’s how we push back—starting now: links in thread

Merrick Garland could have released the Epstein files & held people accountable. He chose not to. He was NEVER on our side, or on the side of the rule of law. He was as effective a GOP operative as there has EVER been, mostly because he looked so rational & mindful while doing the DUMBEST SHIT!

Trump was golfing, Ted Cruz was partying in Greece, and the Mexican President was sending in help to the Texas flood victims. Put it on every. fucking. billboard.

A Florida weatherman telling his viewers he can no longer be confident in his forecasts due to cuts to atmospheric science is the kind of resistance content I’m here for. Kudos, Sir.🌦️

🧵 California’s biggest harvest is about to begin—& it grows 80% of America’s fruit, 60% of its veggies, 90% of its nuts & wine. But the farmworkers who make that possible? They’re planning a strike. Quietly. Strategically. They know exactly when to hit hardest. They’ve worked this land for decades.

Every single one of them knew it was a brutal bill for their constituents. “An unpopular president governing over an unpopular party passing a very unpopular policy—and if they think those three things are great to run on going into the midterms, they’ve completely fooled themselves…” Matthew Dowd

At SOTU 2023, MAGA Republicans booed President Biden and called him a liar for exposing their plans to cut Social Security and Medicare. He was right. He is old but would have never taken a wrecking ball to our nation. Neither would have VP Harris. MAGA traitors to Americans say what now?

Who is this guy?

This man is speaking truth to us. If you watch anything today, please let this be it: I had to split it this is 1/2.

2/2

Pin this, save it, we’ll need it. “When a prison camp opens in your town…when a DREAMer is disappeared from your classroom…when the President destroys what’s left of the Constitution…They will all say they didn’t know this was coming. And I want the American people to know that they did.” AOC 🔥🎯

Tell 'em how it really is, AOC!!!! #USDemocracy

"No royalty, wealth, or status is required to access rivers or hiking trails in the United States...These rare and treasured cultural leveling devices don’t require a gold card and don’t discriminate. Now that you understand your incredible inheritance, it's time to sound the alarm."

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."

The GOP's Big Ugly Bill is a WAR ON THE POOR! They're taking away healthcare, food assistance, and dignity from those who need it most. #VoteHellNO #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

The Senators that voted 'yes' on this disastrous bill represent more than 30 million FEWER Americans than the Senators that voted 'no.'

Message from Marc Elias: Anti-voting activists have a plan to pass the SAVE Act.

BREAKING: Texas State Rep. James Talarico just took down Donald Trump’s Big, Ugly bill in a way we didn’t think was possible. This is incredible.
