I’m thinking the Dems need to run on nothing less than remaking American democracy.

End Citizens United, totally reform the corrupt and broken SCOTUS, a new voting rights act, ban gerrymandering everywhere.

And give Trump figures who broke the law fair trials, and ban them from federal jobs.

AOC: “We have a future to plan for, we have a future to fight for, and we’re either gonna do that together or you’re going to be left behind… This is about: do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now, and the assignment is to come together across difference no matter what.”

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

It would be a shame if this news resulted in record donations to Wikipedia to show that we don't need any more AI generated fascist bullshit on the internet.

Yep, real shame if that were to happen...

Some folks asked where they can find their local food banks and pantries, so let's share some!

Feedingamerica.org is a great place to start!

It shouldn't be up to American children to save each other from getting shot.

It's the job of American adults to stop shootings from happening in the first place.

Ban assault weapons again now.

Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day.

Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day.

It's not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Donald Trump says he is going to deploy the National Guard to Chicago. This is what weak men do to pretend they’re strong.

Stay safe, stand with your community, and most importantly, know your rights:

The explosion in CEO pay relative to the pay of workers isn’t because CEOs have become so much more valuable than before.

They've just gamed the system to line their pockets.

Is it any wonder why so many working people feel the game is rigged against them? (It is.)

Okay, but besides Epstein calling him his “closest friend,” flying on the Lolita Express 8 times, showing up in both contact books, co-organizing a "beauty pageant" together in which they flew 28 girls to FL, and dating one of Epstein's victims--why do people think Trump is in the Epstein files?

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday.

This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

The public meltdown happening between the world’s richest man 🙄 and the President of the United States 🙄🙄 once again begs the age-old question: are men simply too emotional to be in positions of power?

Gutting Medicaid will close more rural hospitals.

Trinity, TX voted 83% for Trump in 2024. If you live there—or anywhere—please do your homework next time. Republicans have never actually helped working people. Not once. It’s all talk!

The GOP wanted to impeach Biden for a fake $5M bribe from Ukraine that was made up by a guy sitting in prison for lying about it, but they’re cool with a $400M plane from Qatar. Do I have that right?

This is the right approach — speak to them as you would an especially stupid child, spell out their crimes and your contempt clearly.

It really shouldn’t be a surprise that the pope’s stated values are antithetical to Republicans because the teachings of Jesus as I learned them in Catholic school contained a lot more empathy and caring than what we see from the modern GOP
