I trust more in my fellow patriotic, prodemocracy fellow citizens to help out our neighbors in need during this shut down to force the GOP to negotiate than I trust the word of the GOP to negotiate later. They never will. When someone shows you who they are, believe them! DO NOT CAPITULATE! FIGHT!

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected 43 days ago.
Republicans still refuse to swear her in because she is the final vote needed to release the Epstein Files.

People aren't as dumb as Republicans think. He's on an ego-tour of Asia, boycotting talks to end the shutdown, and cutting people off SNAP benefits even though there's $5B left in the contingency fund.

I went to Catholic school, and we even knew the Bible isn’t a history book.
Oklahoma just turned indoctrination into state policy: mandating classroom Bibles while pretending amendments 11 - 27 don’t exist.
Public schools should teach real history, not change it in order to fit a political agenda.

Straight, white men are responsible for 84% of Americas gun violence. There have been 4 trans shooters.
It’s not about keeping our kids safe. It’s about harming the trans community.

They waited *more than an hour* to enter the Hortman home after watching Mark Hortman get shot in the doorway
Unbelievably tragic & heartbreaking
And, of course, they publicly congratulated themselves on a great, lifesaving police response when they’d let a lawmaker bleed out. Uvalde is everywhere

New details about police activity after lawmaker shootings raise questions about response
The Minnesota Star Tribune found that Brooklyn Park police waited more than 60 minutes to enter the Hortman home and that several law enforcement agencies were unaware of the situation for hours.

It has become this battle for scarcity, when we’re the wealthiest country in the world. We should not be fighting each other for our basic needs.

They’re assaulting the mothers and fathers of US soldiers.
Roving gangs of masked men grab human beings off the street.
They send them without due process to prisons in countries they’re not even from where they are then sold into slavery.

Lowering tariffs for 90 days doesn’t create economic stability—it does prove how stupid he is.
