Thank you Rachel Maddow for coming back on air M-F, shepherding us through these insane first 100 days.
Heather Cox Richardson just used the word “underbussing ” in relation to Hegseth starting to name drop Admiral Bradley for the murders of attack survivors. Love this new verb!

Take action. And support this group- it’s support our nonprofits day.
The deceptively-named “Save Our Sequoias Act” has been introduced in Congress.

In reality, the bill would do immense and unnecessary damage to the wild groves of giant sequoias in designated Wilderness.

Write your rep today to Keep Wilderness Wild —> wildernesswatch.salsalabs.org/hr2709/index...
Wilderness is not a tree farm
Keep Wilderness and giant sequoias wild!

70 years. Bravery - and frustration. Each of us can act and commit civil disobedience.
70 years ago today, Rosa Parks was arrested for refusing to give up her seat on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama.

Her bravery and dedication to justice continues to inspire us to fight for a better world for all.

“You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right” - Rosa Parks.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.

This is heresy. This is heartless. This is ignorant of history. And, if possible: I hate them even more. Everyone else: honor World AIDS Day- Dec. 1.
1/ ⚠️ Breaking: At CDC, we've been told the US Government will not officially commemorate World AIDS Day this year. No explanation given.

This Thanksgiving weekend, my wallet stays shut to Target, Amazon, and Home Depot. If they’re going to cave to anti-DEI pressure, fund this regime, or let ICE kidnap workers, they don’t get a dime from me.

Our values aren’t for sale.

WIN: We won our lawsuit preventing the Trump Admin from dismantling federal agencies that support libraries, museums, minority-owned businesses, workers & services for the unhoused.

I'll always protect Massachusetts and fight to hold this White House accountable to the law.

Totally. Give them sovereignty and protections. Allow them to keep their land and to join NATO. Stay the Russian aggression.
Now this is a peace plan I can get behind!

This is outrageous!
Dept. of Ed is reclassifying all the female dominated professions (nurse, therapist, speech pathologist, PA) as not having “professional” degrees, which makes it harder for them to get educational loans.

Another FUCKED UP thing this admin is doing to attack women’s power.

Take that shit to court!

The right senator for this horrific time. Who, remember, was pushed around by “law enforcement “ as well.
