You can rationalize it however you want but staying on twitter is a terrible choice. It is not the “town square.” It is the world’s disease-ridden dump. You don’t need to be there to think critically or write relevantly or stay abreast of current events.

@5calls.org makes it easy to find an issue, brings up five reps to call based on your location. Each rep comes with click to dial and a script. Pro tip: If the line is busy, try their local number also in the app. It just means that more people are holding their reps to account.
By a vote of 218-214, House Republicans PASSED H.R. 1, a devastating bill that will jeopardize health care access, terrorize immigrant communities, and steal from the poor to give to the rich.
Now, give your reps a *CALL BACK* to hold them accountable for their vote --> 5calls.org/issue/hr1-on...

Speaker Johnson should just take the L on this vote. Most of America doesn’t want this bill to pass anyways. It’s it both the worst and most unpopular piece of legislation in modern history.

Support for Medicaid work requirements spikes at 65—right when Medicare kicks in.
At 65, people stop needing Medicaid and suddenly start supporting cuts to it.

Zohran's win has a message for national Dems, if they can hear it. Campaign on an aspirational platform that you actually believe in, wear your true politics on your sleeve, don't equivocate or triangulate or throw people under the bus in the name of attracting 'undecideds'.

We obtained lists of alleged gang members used by Venezuelan law enforcement and Interpol.
Those lists include some 1,400 names. None of the names of the 238 Venezuelan deportees matched those on the lists.

Trump Administration Knew Vast Majority of Venezuelans Sent to Salvadoran Prison Had Not Been Convicted of U.S. Crimes
Homeland Security records reveal that officials knew that more than half of the 238 deportees were labeled as having no criminal record in the U.S. and had only violated immigration laws.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

This past Saturday, Donald Trump's self-aggrandizing birthday parade was held in stark contrast to thousands of protests across the country. But what does this non-violent resistance against Trump add up to in terms of creating real change? Looking to history can help.

I can see how Hitler happened. The last decade or so in the U.S. makes it easy to imagine. Not just Hitler; the Tulsa race massacre, Rosewood, lynching, slavery, the Rwanda & Rohingya genocides & more. There is a wolf pack evil that lurks in the human heart and it’s easily activated by a demagogue.
