Reminder: Today is National Espresso Day. A tribute to the delicious treat that makes us alert and happy. However, Starbucks employees still need our help! Their strike is ongoing and needs broader support. The company says they are not feeling an impact. We can do better! So enjoy an espresso, /1

🚨This 16 year old was living a normal life until this administration took over the country. ICE is the enemy of humanity, decency, integrity, and all that used to represent this country. Meanwhile, Trump is building a private army, one that will be more ruthless and violent. 1/2

212 House Democrats held firm. 38 Senate Democrats did too. Only 8 broke ranks. They gambled with our healthcare and our trust. We’re angry—and we have every right to be. 📞 (202) 224-3121

Millions are about to lose food assistance. Not because they’re lazy.
Most people on SNAP already work.

The problem isn’t work ethic. It’s wages.
Poverty isn’t a glitch in the system. It’s how the system keeps power.

Let's be very clear: Donald Trump's Justice Department is not just going after @katmabu.bsky.social.

Trump is going against the youth movement that will kick his ass in the midterms and destroy MAGA for good.

Kat is fighting for all of us. We need to fight for her.

Kat is being federally charged by the FBI for protesting at Broadview.

This is a flagrant political prosecution by the Trump administration, which is trying to prevent free speech and free association.

I am proud of Kat. Her movement is being targeted by the government. She needs your support.
I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

What’s this? Oh, just ICE physically assaulting a candidate for Congress.
We’re peacefully protesting for our neighbors. What does ICE do?
