Every politician who calls this “freedom” should be dragged back to the dirt roads they forgot. We are not the fringe. We are the foundation.
The working class is not your ATM, your cannon fodder, or your political theater. We are the muscle behind the myth … and we are wide awake now.

Funny that ICE targets communities where people welcome immigrants, but skips those where people hate immigrants.

If we can "avoid a government shutdown" by voting for this CR, then why is the entire Department of Education closed today? Why is USAID closed? Why are hundreds of billions in grant contracts frozen?
We are already in the shutdown. And your votes DON'T stop it. In fact, they allow it to expand.

All members of Congress swore oaths to defend the right to speak freely and assemble to petition for the redress of grievances. Why did so few of them sign this important letter?

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

Why is Trump doing so many unlawful things? Because he thinks he's already captured the judiciary. Why? You have to understand what John Roberts wrote in Trump v. US:
Did The Supreme Court Already Accept Donald Trump’s Autocratic Vision Of The Presidency? Trump Thinks So.
The disastrous consequences of the Supreme Court’s immunity decision in Trump v. United States may only just now be fully coming to light.

You can bet your ass that Trump's inner circle shorted stocks before the tariff announcement and that the business world would rather swallow the loss than holding their old White diaper king accountable.

"These aren’t just symbolic attacks: Trump’s orders are having immediate effects on real lives." Put it plainly: your possible personal discomfort with the idea of the "trans stuff" doesn't justify stripping people of civil rights or personal safety.

You don’t have to understand everything about the transgender experience to know that Trump’s acts of humiliation and dehumanization are unjust and dangerous.
