Dena @upholddemocracy.bsky.social · 15/10/2025Despite the noise, Saturday’s “No Kings Rally” isn’t anti-American, it’s pro-democracy. 🇺🇸 Let’s show up in red, white & blue to prove it! This movement stands for freedom, unity, and the power of the people to protect America’s democratic spirit. #NoKings #FreedomForAll thehill.com/homenews/sta...thehill.com 011

Dena @upholddemocracy.bsky.social · 29/04/2025If tariffs are so great, then businesses shouldn’t hesitate to show exactly how those costs are baked into the prices we pay. Of course, Bezos backed off when the White House pushed back. Others should step up, be honest with consumers & show the true cost of tariffs. We deserve transparency. 043
Dena @upholddemocracy.bsky.social · 27/04/2025The new American Dream: Pay $500K to the government and skip the line.

This isn’t leadership, it’s legalized looting! 000

Dena @upholddemocracy.bsky.social · 14/04/2025Farmers have taken a hit under Trump’s policies. His trade war and massive tariffs on U.S. crops, labor shortages due to migrant expulsion, withdrawal from trade agreements, and his cuts to USDA programs have all played a roll in this. Votes have consequences, especially for rural America. 000

Dena @upholddemocracy.bsky.social · 18/03/2025Chief Justice Roberts should’ve thought twice before handing expansive power to the executive branch. Now that it’s seeping into the judiciary, he’s not so pleased. Wait until it affects everyday Americans. Little by little, those rights are slipping away, but most won’t notice until it’s too late. 010
