Shop locally this weekend! If you’re in town Saturday, swing by Main Street for the craft festival!
It’s the busiest shopping period of the year, so we’re hitting pause on buying from corporations that enable Trump’s fascist agenda: weaintbuyingit.com/?utm_source=bluesky

This is history we must a remember.
As a survivor of the Tulsa Race Massacre, Viola Ford Fletcher bravely shared her story so that we’d never forget this painful part of our history. Michelle and I are grateful for her lifelong work to advance civil rights, and send our love to her family.

Children. Four times the last four years combined. Terrorizing children.
1/ THREAD: This year ICE has sent a record 600 immigrant kids into federal shelters, more than in the previous four years combined. Data suggests some are being separated from their families.

For one 15-year-old, it began with a cracked windshield 👇

Agreed. Be careful where you place your faith and hope.

Side effects of Republican Dysfunction include:

🚨 A Medicaid crisis
🚨 Rigged maps
🚨 Underfunded education systems
🚨 Zero Accountability

…and plenty more that wont fit in our character limit.

Be the cure in 2026 by electing Democrats up and down the ballot.

What a great morning to all!
Zohran Mamdani walked into the Oval Office with strength, without betraying his own values or beliefs, and had trump eating out of his hand, defending and praising him, even saying it's OK to call him a fascist.

Gave up nothing.
Gained respect.

Absolute masterclass.
