People ask why I push back so hard on Donald Trump.
It's simple: Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance.
Democracy requires your courage.
Just a thought: How about we nix Presidents’ Day and make Election Day a national holiday instead?

This is a good visual. Looks like in order to ensure we have proof that we mailed something on a specific day, we will have to stand in line at the post office and request a manual post mark.
A malignant narcissist is incapable of withstanding ridicule, so please share this as widely as possible.
Thanking you all in advance, Mar🐫

Have you heard that mail will no longer be postmarked when it is dropped off? It will receive its postmark when it hits automated sorting.
This could cause many mail-in ballots to be postmarked too late to be counter. Another opportunity for the GOP to steal votes!
How to defeat Trump & Putin?

Thank you.

We don't need a ballroom for The Felon. Children need food, books, education, fresh air & freedom from being shot in schools.
I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.
To Whom It May Concern, My name is Gabrielle Perry! I started a fundraiser for Greater Baton Rouge Foodbank for Thanksgiving. We raised DOUBLE my original goal, and turned in the funds today (check out the attached picture) in time to provide a whopping 10,585 meals to needy families this holiday season! But I would like to end my fundraiser. My login is under this email address. Please let me know if there's anything else you need from me! Thanks! Happy Holidays,
Im BEGGING y’all: please just give money to yhe foodbanks.
Foodbanks are one charity where money goes a LONG ASS WAY because they get subsidized prices for the food they purchase.
I only raised $3K by myself and it was enough for almost 11,000 full MEALS they told me.
Donate MONEY.

BREAKING: The entire White House East Wing has been demolished as Trump moves forward with ballroom construction, AP photos show.
As a reminder, the White House is the PEOPLE'S house and not Trump's. He destroyed OUR house.

They want to rule by fear. We will respond with power, people, and purpose.
We are not spectators to history. We are the makers of it.
This is OUR moment and we will carry the torch of John Lewis and show the world that #GoodTroubleLivesOn

Sen. Alex Padilla
Please note that the Black folks are sitting this one out.
It’s not that we don’t love our country.
It’s that this fight is not of our making, and our PRESENCE would agitate the police to shoot.
We did all the heavy lifting to perfect and preserve democracy domestically for the last 100 years.
The image is a digital artwork celebrating "Barack Obama Day" on June 14, 2025. The image features a smiling Barack Obama with his arm raised, positioned in front of the Statue of Liberty. The text "June 14, 2025" and "Barack Obama Day" is displayed at the top of the image, set against a sky background. The image is framed in a light blue border. The overall style is celebratory and commemorative.
It’s June 14. Happy President Obama Day!

Did you vote for a ruthless weak snowflake to destroy our democracy and crown himself King?
I didn’t.
NO KINGS DAY IS SATURDAY JUNE 14!!!!
I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia.
I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.
A graphic with a red background featuring large, shadowed images of Elon Musk and Donald Trump. The main headline reads: “Trump and Elon Musk’s DOGE are a threat to our Social Security system.” Below the headline are three red-outlined boxes with text: “SSA website crashed four times in 10 days this month,” “Phone support is in shambles,” and “Mass firing of staff is causing systematic breakdown.” At the bottom, bold white text asks: “Does this look efficient to you?” Small source text credits The Washington Post, NBC News, and Getty Images.
What's efficient about making it harder for seniors to get the Social Security THEY paid into?
You don’t have to fix everything. The weight of the world is not yours to carry alone.
It’s okay to take a step back, to rest, to breathe. You are allowed to focus on the small, meaningful things within your reach.
Your efforts matter, even if they seem small.
