It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

AOC is a badass and won’t back down from Trump, Musk, MAGA, or the GOP in general.
We need more people in Congress who aren’t afraid of bullies and know how to do the right things by ALL people.

that this is a member of Congress getting a 'watch your tone when you speak about Elon and Trump' letter from a federal prosecutor is wild and deeply troubling for the rest of us!
So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

Legislation that I passed and was funded by Congress, Solar for All, could reduce electric bills for working class families by 80%.
The Trump Admin is refusing to release the money in order to protect the profits of fossil fuel billionaires. Unacceptable. Release the funds NOW.

Without federal support, American communities will struggle to deal with a challenge as pervasive as climate change, market analysts and environmental advocates say.

BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: While the Trump Justice Department is telling a federal court that Elon Musk has nothing to do with DOGE, Republican members of Congress are telling their constituents that DOGE is “led by Elon Musk.”

The resistance will bring down Musk and Trump. Congress, wake up before your power is gone. The GOP begging Trump to release money to their states is pathetic—stand up to this tyranny. Congress controls the purse strings.

My U.S. Rep, a Democrat, held a town hall and explicitly said that THE REASON she was speaking out louder now was because she got so many calls and emails.
DEFINITELY YELL AT THEM. It’s the only language they speak. It’s literally how they gauge public opinion.

One reason we yell at Democratic electeds is because a lot of us live in blue states and THEY'RE OUR REPS. So of course we yell at them when they do a bad job; that's what we do in a democracy! If we had R reps, we'd yell at them, but we've got these Ds, and a lot of them are blowing it.

Any Democrat in congress who still says they want to find common ground with Trump should resign. Let us elect a real Democrat.

I want every Democrat to sound like this. Meanwhile I'm listening to the sounds of (congressional) silence.
It took the Nazis one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes to dismantle a constitutional republic.
When the fire starts to burn, every good person better be ready to man a post with a bucket of water if you want to stop it from raging out of control.

In addition to calling your reps I'd get in touch with your local dem part and push them to start local meetings if they haven't.
There will be a groundswell against the GOP and there needs to be a party institution to channel that movement

Look I know it's a cliché, but call your fucking reps. They don't get scared unless they hear from an overwhelming number of us all the time. Call them every damn day. Tell them to fight the hell back and protect us from Musk and Trump. It matters and it makes a difference, right now. reps.fyi
So, I'll say this: just this morning we got two polls showing Trump and Musk underwater with the public. So, yes, all this shit is terrifying, and yes, we're all at incredible risk. But they're moving fast because it turns out people don't like this shit, and we shouldn't lose sight of that.

Trump is such a pathetic, small man. After his team lost, he can’t bring himself to congratulate the Eagles. Instead, he unleashes a petty barrage of insults against everyone, including Taylor Swift.

The conversation that this Kendrick Lamar performance triggered at our SuperBowl had me in stitches. The boomer in the crowd was unironically uncomfortable with a stage full of black people and no white faces to be found. Like, he was legit mad at the lack of representation on screen. #blackhistory
