To every Democrat in Congress.
Trump just declared an illegal war with Iran and we don't want to hear any more strong statements. Why should we keep voting for Democrats when you do nothing to stop Trump's dictatorship? When you DO nothing you ARE nothing. As it stand today, you are all pointless.
I am old enough to remember the "axis of evil" (Iraq, Iran, N. Korea). Sadly, my grandchildren will reminisce on the "axis of greed" (Russia, China, U.S.).
Well, he has his "emergency" now. How will he use it? I suppose we will soon see the Mad King's madness on full display. Elections won't be his only target. We are "in the hands of malignant fate."

Definitely the first State of the Union where the president talked about the military killing unarmed fishermen as a laugh line
If fentanyl is a weapon of mass destruction then what is unleashing measles across vulnerable populations in the United States
Couldn't agree more. All of these proposals are constitutional, reasonable, and vital. (1/2)
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."
-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953
According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information.
Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?
Want to make it clear that this case was 4-6 years in the making and heroes here are League of Women Voters and Mormon Women for Ethical Government. I hope national press gets this right. Voters approved an initiative in 2018 to create a districting commission. Fighting for implementation since
-A living wage
-Guaranteed healthcare
-The right to join a union
-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family
-The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence
These are the foundations of real freedom.
Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance
THIS x 1,000,000. Honestly I donβt know who this person is (this clip popped up on social media) but I would vote for them tomorrow.
The folks hollering about βfamily valuesβ are out here tearing families apart with unlawful ICE raids, militarized police, & the weaponization of government.
All while ripping away food & healthcare from working-class families.
Are the family values in the room with us?
Senator Cory Booker, his voice still booming after more than a day spent on the Senate floor railing against the Trump administration, surpassed Strom Thurmond for the longest Senate speech on record, in an act of astonishing stamina that he framed as a call to action. nyti.ms/4iXMx8m
The fascism we are experiencing is an EMERGENCY. It needs to be responded to with lightening speed.
The courts are helping, but lightening speed is not their thing. They weren't designed for that.
So we all need to do more to respond. Get angry. Get organized. Get creative. Get vocal.
Pentagon has been ordering the removal of web site references to General Colin Powell and the Tuskegee Airmen and one of the flag-raisers at Iwo Jima as part of a crackdown on DEI. Have you no shame Pete Hegseth?(hat tip to Task and Purpose, WaPo for reporting) youtube.com/shorts/0HJpe...
Over 100,000 seats are up for grabs in 2025 β governors, mayors, city councils, state representatives, judges, school boards, and more.
Taking back our power starts now.
They want the unreviewable power to grab people and render them to a foreign gulag.
They started with the undocumented, then they went after visa holders and permanent residents, now it's naturalized citizens.
How many times must history rhyme and repeat before we realize what's going on?
American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.
The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. Itβs between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.
