Authoritarianism in plain sight.
Texas Rep. Nicole Collier was forced by police to hang up on a press call after being threatened with a felony arrest—for daring to speak.
She can’t be in the bathroom, can’t be on the floor, can’t even talk to the press without GOP cops breathing down her neck.

ACTION: Ask your Republican family & friends to call both AZ Senators to say they OPPOSE the sale of public lands. If they hike, fish, hunt, or camp there, they don't want this!
Fancy speak: Democrats need stories from Republican constituents to prove bipartisan opposition to public land sales.

Our public lands are not for sale! @gallego.senate.gov and @captmarkkelly.bsky.social we all hope you’re fighting hard against the reconciliation bill!!
Everyone out there: call your senators and tell them not to sell our public assets! Hands off our public lands!

The Big Bullshit Bill will not only decimate Medicaid (something that *no* congressional district supports by more than 15%), it will also codify the Trump administration's proposed changes to the ACA and allow its federal subsidies to expire. Millions of Americans will lose coverage.

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!!
This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference.
It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

“Friends - I would do it again!”
Green: I will suffer whatever the consequences are because I don't believe in the richest country in the world people should be without good health care. I stood up for my constituents then. I'm standing up for them now. I would do it again.

We just walked out of the state of the Union. My shirt showed Trump an important message: NO KINGS LIVE HERE.
In the spirit of student protestors from the Civil Rights Movement, I’m proud to have protested and walked out with many of my colleagues. This is NOT a normal time.

In addition to being wrong, this is against our own self-interest. If Russia is not stopped in Ukraine, they will simply continue to advance. Increasingly, that seems to be the point: Trump/Musk/Vance are aligned with Putin's interests & not ours.

Zelenskyy's character can be judge more directly by how he treats others and whether you think he's protected his country. From what I've seen, he has treated Americans with respect. His attire is to remind people he's at war, not unlike Churchill wearing a siren suit to the White House in 1942.

Nervous Musk, Trump, Vance have all been outclassed in public arguments these last few days. Government failure, stock market crash, and dictatorial alliances are not popular. People are starting to realize that there is no truth here beyond the desire for personal wealth and power. (2/2)
