Michigan is protesting. A LOT.
Medicaid cuts.Voter suppression. Solidarity with our allies. Attacks on the postal service.
We’re on overpasses, in town halls, on the street—every week.
But the media? Pretending it’s not happening.
👀 Read the story they won’t cover:

The Resistance Is Alive and Well in Michigan and across the country. So Why Isn’t the Media Covering It?
Thousands of Michiganders are protesting every week—from Medicaid cuts to voter suppression and corporate overreach. The resistance is real. So why is the media staying silent?

The FBI is trying to criminalize Habitat for Humanity for receiving climate grants from the EPA.

Yes, the nonprofit that builds houses for low-income people.

This clearly demonstrates just how absurd and extreme the Trump regime has become.
It's targeted harassment.

Florida has 2 special elections coming up on April 1st that could tilt control of Congress back to Democrats, & stop Trump's Project 2025 agenda in its tracks.

Please contribute to both @Gayforcongress.bsky.social & @joshweil.bsky.social’s
campaigns today. This is about more than Florida!

Every Democrat in Congress needs to wear this reminder like a Hegseth tattoo. DO NOT FALL FOR THE “UNITY” HOAX. It’s a cover for:
1. Appeasement
2. Acquiescence
3. ACTIVE COMPLICITY 🤬

Ask Neville Chamberlain how that worked out.

An excellent reminder: “Unity” rhetoric blunts the (small-d) democratic response to the authoritarian movement's ascendance and serves as cover for appeasement, acquiescence, and active complicity.

The Right understands this precisely, which is why they are weaponizing it to delegitimize dissent.
She said, “May I ask you to have mercy Mr. President on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away." If Mike Johnson thinks that’s “radical,” perhaps he has a fundamental misunderstanding of his own religion.
