The guardrails for our democracy have officially fallen.

Congress, our courts, MSM & press, 🔴 & even some 🔵 state & local govt. bodies have failed.

We’re the last line of defense to uphold it & protect the constitution

For my LGBTQ+ friends, I have a young teen I’m working with who wants to transition to male but is fairly fluid in their questioning. Can anyone recommend resources to help me support him and/or talk with his parents in a way that helps? 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🌈🦄🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️❤️‍🔥 #Pinks 💞🫂❤️‍🔥🦋

While Americans are starving - mostly children and the elderly- Convicted Felon Donald Trump is partying and not worrying where his next meal is coming from.

HE DOESN’T CARE ABOUT YOU! Or anyone who isn’t him.

"Their theory of the case, still unsupported by the evidence: A cabal of Democrats and “deep-state” operatives, possibly led by former President Barack Obama, has worked to destroy Mr. Trump..."

People begin to believe it, true or not, when they’re allowed to give it this kind of legitimacy

Dear “Christian” Wealthy People, if you’re NOT donating a large portion of your wealth to help the poor, Jesus is NOT pleased with you. Scripture says, “What profits a man to gain the whole world & lose his own soul”? I’m being nice because the hood side in me says, “Fuck You”! 😘 #SheShed #Pinks

What was the damn point of the shutdown? People missed paychecks, families went without SNAP, and Democrats walked away with nothing.

This isn’t about moderates versus the far left. It’s about who’s actually fighting for people who are struggling.

She nails where so many of us are right now.

Senate Democrats walked away empty-handed, and don’t let anyone tell you different.

Tim Kaine and the others bought the lie that Republicans would negotiate on extending the ACA subsidies. They won’t.

Dems got played, Schumer failed to keep his caucus together, and the American people got nothing.

Who uses SNAP?

My friend, who works, raising 5 kids, husband bailed and won’t pay child support

My neighbor battling cancer and her life-saving meds are so expensive, she chooses between meds or food

My friend who’s a vet and struggles with mental health issues.

Not one of them chose this.

Trump claims that food stamps "puts the country in jeopardy. People that are able-bodied can do a job, they leave their job because they figure they can pick this up, it's easier."

There are reasons republicans are talking about their fantastic health care plans without showing them to anyone. They are like a shiny highway in winter: very pretty, so long as you don’t try to use them.

They’re still counting votes and she’s only ahead by a hair (less than 100 votes!) but the trend lines are looking good!!
