It is time to fight for democracy, the rule of law, your rights, your neighbors’ rights, research, science, education, immigrants, minorities, civil servants, your country!
As a Chilean-American, I know what is at stake. Fight back!

If we had a functional Congress:
. Our cabinet would be competent
. Tariffs would be gone
. DOGE would have no power
. All funds appropriated by Congress would have been allocated
. USAID and the Dept. of Education would still be here, along with critical govt services across all agencies

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

The volume of water needed to cool the servers in data centers has become a nationwide resource issue.
Volume isn’t the most pressing problem in Morrow County, however. The issue is pollution, which Amazon’s data centers have exacerbated since its arrival.

Yes, Crockett is a great representative! MTG talked about her sweet constituents, but she stabbed them hard in the back when she helped pass the Big Ugly Bill! They all will suffer!

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.
We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.
We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

Ukrainians truly need this right now — even if as a sign of solidarity. And constant, stubborn solidarity goes a long way.

They are literally firing all the judges they think might grant relief. They just fired a friend of mine a couple hours ago. They have no shame. The bastards want an assembly line for deportations and nothing more; rubber-stamping bootlickers who’ll yes’sir at every new diktat to deny.
Instead of hiring more immigration judges, the Department of Justice just posted an ad for "deportation judges." join.justice.gov

And started an investigation against Clinton and other Democrats to continue blocking the release of the Epstein files independently of the Congress bill! Disgusting!

You are a disgrace to the people who need your help with healthcare and to the people you represent. Your state needs a strong senator to defend and protect its constituents against this lawless and cruel administration. You have failed them and your state, and you should think about retiring!

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country.
Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.
The solution: Medicare for All.

Those billionaires are becoming awful human beings. They're enabling Trump & screwing the rest of the country while they’re building a bunker to protect just themselves against the stupidity of Trump. At least, it would be nice if Zuckerberg leaves the Bay Area and goes to live in his bunker!

All these red states are already heavily gerrymandered, but blue states are not. Blue states can still gain many seats by changing the rules. We clearly need a reform to return the value of each vote, but in the meantime, let’s fight fire with fire!
