False hope is a trap, but real optimism is a fuel. ⛽️ Don’t just watch the sky fall—look for the solutions and keep your foot on the gas. There is always a way to fix things if we refuse to give up. 👊

You can’t wait for hope—you have to act your way toward it. 🚀 Whether it’s sending an email or a quick tweet, these small wins build the momentum you need to break through helplessness and find your power. Start small, get strong. 💪

We don’t need the Epstein files to act—we already have the testimonies of hundreds of victims. It’s time to stop the cover-ups. Contact your state representatives today and demand they pass the CSTI Act.
Hold them accountable! ⚖️🛑

It’s not about being progressive or liberal—it’s about common sense. ⚖️ If you come here and commit crimes against our citizens, you will be charged and prosecuted right here on our soil. Accountability has no political party.

It’s time to call it what it is: a bribe. 💸 The 'Bribe is a Bribe Act' is designed to close the loopholes that allow politicians to sell out their constituents. Let’s hold our officials to a standard of integrity, not a price tag. ⚖️🚫

Haters are going to be there, but don't let them stop you from being heard. 🗣️ Use that energy to find your local representative or state AG and ask the hard questions. You have the power to act your way out of helplessness. 👊 #TruthToPower #Accountability #Activism

Think "states’ rights" is only for the right? Think again. 🛡️

@lauraflanders and I explore how we can use local power to protect reproductive rights and healthcare. It’s time to stop ceding our best tools and start using them to win. ✊

Sumathy Kumar explores a bold proposal: using a "tax strike" to protect our polling places. It’s a rational, non-violent response to uphold the Constitution when it’s under fire. ✊

Philadelphia DA Larry Krasner is sending a clear message to ICE and the military: if you commit crimes in his city, you’re going to jail. @lauraflanders highlights this fierce local resistance to federal overreach. ✊

"We have an abuser in the federal government and we are trying to intercede." ✊

@lauraflanders breaks down the urgent need to outmaneuver the push for single-party rule and reclaim our local power. A masterclass.

By modeling state laws after New York’s powerful Martin Act, local governments can investigate and prosecute billionaire "oligarch" spending as criminal corruption without needing to prove intent.

Inspired by the resilience in Minneapolis, where a community stands in total solidarity to protect its most vulnerable against what they describe as a hostile invasion.

Despite ICE agents filming community members, labeling local mothers as "domestic terrorists," and invading private Signal chats, Minneapolis residents refuse to be deterred by these intimidation tactics.

America is facing it's shadow. Much like the groundhog, if we don't face that shadow without fear, there is going to be an extended winter. Don't look away.

ICE agents are dangerously undertrained and incompetent, yet politically protected, leading to fatal mistakes, like shooting someone lawfully carrying a holstered firearm that would not have occurred under properly trained police.
