As another Virginian, I've even used the word 'unsettling'. Republican ads using Obama's and Spanberger's words out of context made a simple issue difficult to understand,& unable to navigate. And yes, MAGA is grossly lurking. We still have lots of work to do

The energy we need to send fascism back into hiding.
They should be petrified of midterms. We're coming for them.
We did💙 It's unsettling how close it was. We still have a lot of work to do.
Most Americans know what it would take to fix our broken country
- Abolish Citizens United
- Outlaw foreign influence
- End the electoral college
- Tax the oligarchs
- Reestablish rule of law
- Strict separation of church & state
It’s whether we have the courage to change our self-destructive ways
If you live in Virginia, tomorrow you have a huge opportunity to make it clear to the GOP that if they want to win, it won’t be by changing the rules and redrawing maps. At least, not without a fight. Vote YES on the redistricting vote, and push back!
If you've wondered where we are in the quest for retaining our democracy, this is all you need to know. We're gaining ground, but we're still losing it. Speak up and out. We need your voice.
The idea that the President of the United States could publish an image of himself as the Messiah and no news outlet covers it is the biggest indictment of the American free press.
Bruce Springsteen is making me a fan... Opening his concert in Los Angeles yesterday, worth the wait to see the transition to the opening song 90 seconds in. ✌️❤️🇺🇸 #Resist
🚨BREAKING: Federal Court DISMISSES DOJ lawsuit to obtain Massachusetts' unredacted voter file. A victory for our clients the New England NAACP and the MA Alliance for Retired Americans and the Commonwealth.

Rise and Resist protested outside of the Times Square Recruiting Center. We sang "Stop the War" to the tune of the "Star Spangled Banner", with all the joy that we could muster.

To cap off his first 100 days in office, Mayor Zohran Mamdani walked the full 6 miles home from New York City Hall last night — greeting New Yorkers along the way. 🍎
Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY!
The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.
This is an actual statement from the President of the United States.
This cannot be hand waved away as a joke. The man is threatening war crimes on top of war crimes! ENOUGH!
I don’t say this lightly: The 25th Amendment needs to be invoked. The President needs to be removed!
The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office.
The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.
More of this.
Seriously, what the fuck is this.
This is completely deranged, and anyone who can’t say so is a coward.
Ahh, it’s another beautiful CaturDogDay
You've seen the power of organized, peaceful protests. Now, let's keep the momentum and put that power to work for a National Strike, May 1st.

Meet the high school senior who just sent the Education Secretary packing. Red Zellner organized a demonstration in Mobile, Alabama, and the school district actually listened. See how the students are leading the charge:

As an American, there are always disappointments to register and arguments to engage; amid the chaos of our battered, monied attempt at self-governance, dissent is constant.
But this feeling of being utterly ashamed of America and embarrassed to the core by its president is new, raw and unnerving.
Hegseth’s spokesperson has categorically denied the report and called on the Financial Times to retract it.
✨✨✨ Texas Paul ✨✨✨
Texas Paul breaks down last night's "speech." He even reached out to Republicans (a first) regarding Trump's mental fitness to serve.
We must vote Democrat from dog catcher to Congress. This is madness that we may never recover from.

I just read this today while researching a bit as a new beekeeper. I can't be more fascinated with them🐝
"The Salt Lake City Council has now approved a cap on how much water large government facilities can use, proposed by Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall after news of ICE’s warehouse purchase..."

A skinny and sober couple came into Burger King and asked if i would buy them food. I said yes. They ordered two meals and ate it all, said thank you and left. I may be gullible or not but it cost $14 to maybe help somebody. Thoughts?
Whether they were dealing with unfortunate circumstances or not, asking politely for someone to buy your lunch would be both humbling and difficult for most people. Paying for it without offering an objection was the kindest thing you could've done. Thank you for that. Don't look back.
