I'm biased, but I thought Leah was on fire here.
We have received many questions about whether it’s safe to sign up for No Kings protests while Trump ramps up his attacks on free speech.

This is the playbook, folks.
If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.
Do not be quiet in this moment.

Has anyone in the Senate or House Democratic Caucus floated a challenge to Schumer or Jeffries? If not, why not? 
I am amazed at just how inept the Democrats’ congressional leadership is on this moment of crisis.
Trump is moving troops into blue cities and declaring war against the left, and these guys are complaining that the GOP Congress is pushing a partisan budget.
Jesus Christ, wake the hell up.

The Republican budget bill continues the attack on the healthcare of everyday Americans.
And is a dirty piece of legislation.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.
You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Want a great slogan for midterms?
"If you FAFO and are struggling because of Trump policies, we understand. The Dems are here for you. Tell us how we can help you "
You get the point.
FAFO will be the theme. Be the solution.

For those asking about government control of Facebook and Twitter, YES, they have broad influence over what gets seen there. They have direct lines into both boards, and in some cases, right wing strategists have been part of their staff or board for years. Google Joel Kaplan.
I never used TikTok. The idea of making every post a video just sounds exhausting to me. But anyone saying "who fucking cares I hated the place" is missing the gigantic fucking point: the US government has entirely banned a communications platform it couldn't directly control.
That's so fucked up.
That's so fucked up.

Not to repeat what we used to say on that other app but whyyyyy doesn't my feed stay where I last read it? Scrolling from most recent to oldest is the opposite of what I want.
