Protest only works when there’s a feedback loop, protest, change, and acknowledgment.
If we skip that last part and just keep punishing, even after they change, we train companies not to listen. Not to improve.
We’re not just shaping outcomes. We’re shaping the rules of the game.

Genuinely asking, if a company listens to our protest and does the right thing (like Disney bringing Kimmel back), shouldn’t that mean something?
If we never show we’re glad they listened, why would they ever listen again? Protest without follow-up isn’t accountability, it’s just punishment.

Whichever governor does the best job of protecting their constituents from this bill will have the best chance of being the next president, I’m looking at you @governor.ca.gov and even @governorwalz.mn.gov
it’s time to build safety net coalitions.

So instead of paying for healthcare, education & other social services a large portion of this bill will go towards torturing people, literally. Up to 200,000,000,000 will be spent on locking people up that the administration deems bad. Today it’s “illegal immigrates” but tomorrow? Stop this bill!

Word on the street is you had to be physically removed from a Noem presser. Good work, keep it up.

This is why there are so many distractions; it's not just the budget, it's this. A Bipartisan group is proving the election was rigged & stolen, and they don't want you to pay attention. This is why they are trying to vilify the peaceful protests in Los Angeles. More people need to talk about this!

Thank you!!!!!
I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Thank you!!!!!
“Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections,” is basically the “Save Act” which we also need to be talking about. The Save act wouldn’t have made it through the senate bc of the filibuster so while you’re distracted he signs this executive order. #womensvotingrights

Did the DOJ just make it illegal to visit Telsa dealerships? Lol, that should totally help his sales numbers. 😂

It should be very clear to every Senate Democrat that any vote for Cloture will also be considered a vote for the bill.
People aren’t going to be tricked with procedural games.
They know exactly what is going on.
Defend Medicaid.
Vote NO on Cloture.

Show the NFL you’re paying attention. Don’t watch the Super Bowl—make the ratings tank. Instead, listen on the radio. Money talks, and so do numbers. Stand against those who bend the knee to fascism. Tune out, speak up, and hit them where it counts. #BoycottNFL #TurnItOff #ListenDontWatch

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

In censorship news, pages are now gone from our government's website, and censorship has spread to other entities. Namely, geta & ogle. I saw this information on insta, bc people are being diligent. Then I checked for myself. After many complaints, insta let #democrat searches have results again.
