The 2020 election was not rigged and no votes were changes. Donald Trump's reaction was to sue and incite a violent insurrection in the Capitol. Donald Trump is once again laying the groundwork to try to overturn elections he is about to lose. We need to be prepared and to fight back.

He came to the US 35 year ago. He worked in construction and built a small business. He sent 3 kids to college. Now he's dead at the hands of ICE. They claim he "weaponized" his car against them. Sound familiar? @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social on the latest casualty of Trump's deportation regime.

The Trump administration just killed a federal program that hundreds of small farmers relied on to survive, and the damage is already landing. The program paid farmers full market price for their crops, then routed that fresh food to food banks and the families who needed it.
