You decide America. Is this what you want your country doing? If the answer is no, then you have a civic duty to vote every damn Republican out of office in Nov. Every one. You have a civic duty to protest ICE everywhere. And you have a civic duty to be prepared to engage in civil disobedience.👇

#Pinks #ProudBlue The videos and stories of people not being able to feed their children, grandchildren, or themselves break my heart and crush my soul. If you don’t feel the same way or are indifferent to it, I don’t have any use for you and neither does humanity. #FundSnapNow

❤️ if you think Kimmel and Colbert need to start their own podcasts immediately to amplify the resistance so the truth can be made loud and clear and we can take back the House and Senate come 2026 midterms.

In John F. Kennedy’s Profiles in Courage, he described some of the pressures that require courage from politicians. Working against your party or your constituents demands conviction. But viewed another way, we can start to see ways to move those who lack that fortitude. (Thread)

Trump cannot unilaterally end collective bargaining for federal workers. We know when people organize and collectively bargain, wages go up, and working conditions improve. We will fight this decision in the courts and in Congress. Unions make America strong.

There's a reason Trump hates Marc Elias - he's literally distributing very important information (in an accessible way) that is normally ignored or glossed over by most media.

Another reminder tonight that MAGA’s ONLY ideology is devotion to Trump. When Trump said let’s extricate America from the rest of the world, focus on home, no more wars, no nation-building, MAGA cheered. But now Trump says let’s take over Greenland, Canada, the Panama Canal, & Gaza. And MAGA cheers.

BREAKING: Trump will hold off on Mexican Tariffs as Mexico places 10k troops to Border. FACTS: - Mexico already has 15k troops along the border - 90% of fentanyl seizures occur at U.S. ports of entry - U.S. citizens comprise 86% of fentanyl trafficking convictions This is POINTLESS

The stories saying that the ERA, although duly ratified by 38 states as required by Article V, won’t become law until some functionary at the National Archives agrees to publish it, have no constitutional basis. I’ll be writing about this soon. Watch this space for a link. search.app/LLn9cfhPfmEw...

Biden declares the ERA the law of the land — but it may not matter
The White House acknowledges the action won’t have the force of law.

US Supreme Court votes 5 to 4 NOT to block Trump's sentencing tomorrow in his NY Criminal case. That means 1. Trump will enter the White House as a CONVICTED FELON! 2. Four corrupt GOP Supreme justices were prepared to put Trump above the law--again.
