It shouldn’t take a slur that impacts you personally, or losing your healthcare or SNAP, or being forced to sell your farm, or having to watch a loved one get unjustly detained and deported...to walk away from a madman.

Cruelty isn’t strength.

Reject it.

Always.

These posters started popping up ahead of next week’s We Ain’t Buying It boycott.

From Nov 27 - Dec 1, folks are stepping back from corporate chains like Target, Home Depot, and Amazon. People are done being squeezed, so they are using the leverage of their wallets 💥

Today’s Gender Equity Summit left me energized and hopeful! We took an honest look at the digital world shaping our kids’ futures.

I’m grateful for the leaders, thinkers, and lawmakers who showed up ready to rethink who builds our online spaces and how we keep our people safe.

A new report finds corporations like Kroger and McDonald's are using digital loyalty programs to track your data and potentially charge you more.

It's a tactic known as surveillance pricing.

Americans still don't realize how bad it has gotten and how much worse it is going to get.

Immense destruction, pain and suffering, and we're not even at the tip of it.

He's not planning on leaving, ever. And neither are Vance, Miller, Hegseth, Vought and the rest. They'll bomb the U.S. before they'll leave. Why is the Hindustan Times the only media reporting this?

It’s so painful being intelligent and cognizant of the world, then having to pretend life is normal to make a paycheck, and also fighting to educate/shield/nurture your children during it. Personally I’m suffering, I’m not alone.

I understand. James Carville just put out the alarm that we are not scared enough saying it is going to get worse, and we are in the most dangerous times. Things we can't imagine. Did anyone imagine he'd tear down part of the Whitehouse? What if he tears it all down? He's tearing America down.

Despicable
WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

This is amazing.

My big takeaway is that a lot of these Trump appointees, and definitely Lindsey Halligan, are desperately insecure about how stupid/unqualified they are for the positions they hold.

Which just tells me we should talk about it more.
EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.

I glanced down at the message.

“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.

So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

Now THIS is how every single Democratic Leader should be responding to the GOP.

Call out everything they are doing for what it is: Racism, Power grabs, Religious Extremism, Forcing Christianity on people, Corruption.

“Don’t shake your head” Bloody brilliant 🔥

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

Today, Trump's trying to make us comfortable with masked agents on the streets.

Tomorrow, Trump's looking to leverage this power, take advantage of our elections, and scare voters away.

We must call this what it is: a power grab that echoes the rise of authoritarian regimes.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!
