People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Fuerza responds to scenes where alleged ICE enforcement is reported. If officers are indeed with ICE, they hit record and spread the word. They also speak directly with those being detained.

You can't just yell at your reps to "do something" on socials. YOU need to show up too. Because the PEOPLE have the POWER.
Thank you, Mr.Booker for helping us make good trouble.

Booker: Do you think we got the right to vote for women because a bunch of men on the House floor got together and said “on the count of three, women get the right to vote..” That’s not how it happened… Change doesn’t come from Washington. It comes to Washington.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia lived in Maryland with his wife and their three children, and has never been charged with any crime.
The Department of Homeland Security issued him a work permit, and he joined a union, working full time as a sheet metal apprentice.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.
That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.
So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Thank you Senator Cory Booker. This guy truly cares about the people he represents.

Ok #booksky community. I'm in dire need of uplifting, character driven fiction (or non fiction that reads like fiction) to listen to while I knit so my brain doesn't go into a downward spiral. The audiobook equivalent of Schitts Creek or Ted Lasso. #upliftingbook #mentalhealth #bookrecommendations

“So that’s the plan.
Find a leader. Bring people together in person, far away from the capital’s control. Build momentum. Organize your supporters. Harness the power of their mass. Build toward an explicit show of strength. Take back control of Congress.“
