We all know it, but sometimes the obvious needs to be said: Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr., and Kash Patel would never have been nominated for any government position under any president—Republican or Democrat. They’re completely unqualified and outright dangerous.

The only reason they’re getting these

Pritzker: "He promised he was gonna lower costs & make us safer. He's done none of it. I realize he's only been in office 2 weeks, but it's gotten worse, not better. You think grocery prices have gone down? No, they've gone up bc of what he's threatening or what he's already put in place"

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare.

Aspiration is the answer. Not just “we’re not the bad guys.”

We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. 👊🏽

I dedicated January to creating everyday. I ended up like a woman possessed 😳
I sat in my studio with my Papas photo smiling at me and held each completed piece up to show him.
"What do you think Papa?" I'd ask and then imagine what he'd reply. 1/2

It would be fantastic if major federal institutions would acknowledge that the executive branch cannot legally unilaterally cancel or redistribute congressionally appropriated funding on ideological grounds and thus they have no legal obligation to comply with such directives
Trump funding freeze a blatant violation of Constitution, federal law: Legal experts
The Constitution, federal law and court decisions make it clear: President Donald Trump's order to pause federal funding is against the law, legal experts tell ABC News.

This is a reminder that no one can convince Trump voters to no longer support Trump, better than Trump can.

Gosh, I remember when we had an actual president instead of a loudmouth bully who won't take responsibility for his actions.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.
