Pope Francis lifted the world as he led the Church with his profound moral voice. As he returns to God, may his call to humility and concern for the least among us continue to resound.

TODAY WE MOBILIZED OVER 3 MILLION PEOPLE ACROSS THE NATION!!!

This movement has entered the next chapter: the people will mobilize again, and again, until we make a difference.

It only takes 3.5% of the population in a sustained resistance in order to make a difference.

Every situation, no matter how overwhelming it appears, carries within it the seeds of change. So if your present situation is making you worried, remember that everything is temporary. From the Yukon, Canada, I am sharing joy, hope, and positivity.

What Trump Can’t Do:
#1. He can’t take away our anger.
#5. He can’t make us hate a free and democratic America.
#8. He can’t stop us from realizing our collective power.
#9. He cannot last.

What Trump Can’t Do
Nine facts that show we are still Americans. We will not give in to Trump's dictatorial regime. We are still human. We will decide our own fate.

Some Democratic member of Congress should propose a bill saying that a POTUS may golf at government expense no more than, say, once every 14 days, and must reimburse the Treasury for anything beyond that.
A couple of golf outings could pay for over 300 federal jobs for an entire year.
So…..fraud and waste? Eh?!?!

Trump, who has ejected the Associated Press from White House events because they won't call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America & who today called for criminalizing student speech at protests claims to have brought back free speech in America

😎 The disruption this could cause! #UpstageTheSOTU I hope Dems have a plan to show their lack of compliance!!!
One by one Democrats should walk out during Trump’s joint address tonight. That way they can’t fill the empty seats.

Please call. All you have to say is "Rep _____, I want NO cuts to Medicaid." Thank you for your advocacy. 🙏💜
Congress is about to vote on a Republican budget that would destroy Medicaid.

These 17 House Republicans won by fewer votes than the number of people they want to steal health care from.

We are sending billboards to their districts to demand they vote NO on the budget.

For those of you who watched the video of an Idaho woman experiencing handmaid‘s tale treatment, now is the time to decide what you would do in that situation—whether it's you or whether you're nearby when this happens to someone else. We are in a moment where we all have to decide who we are.

Our German supporters made us realize we made a mistake, and we want to acknowledge it. Germany, you’re in our thoughts. While we’re relieved that AfD was defeated, we understand this is not a moment for celebration. There is still much work ahead, and we stand in solidarity with you.

Amen! Obstruct and resist.
Let’s get something clear. The GOP has the power to keep the government from shutting down in March. They control both chambers of Congress and the White House. If they can’t reach a budget deal within their own ranks, that completely on them.

Dems: Don’t lift a finger to help them. Not one.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”

A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.
