We’re getting to the Age of Aquarius, but we may have to go through a dystopian hellscape to get there. We can do it together.
Thank you, science.

The United States could have great things like this. But we like to spend our money on kidnapping people and trafficking them to concentration camps instead. #Priorities

Media, stop saying “big beautiful bill” & reinforcing his brand. Use “the big bill” or “the bill.”

When did it become OK to use the male pronoun to stand for women as it was 50 years ago? CNN: “There is no lawmaker who can say his district will not be affected by Medicaid cuts.” Does “or her” take so long to say? Even using “their” would be better.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

The 5 calls app makes it easy to know who to call and what you could say. Tomorrow’s vote in the House is huge.
🚨 If you make one call today, make it be to your House Rep to VOTE NO on the billionaire hand out budget resolution! 🔥
🚨 The House will vote on their extreme Trump-endorsed budget on Tues. We can block this! A budget that mandates $2 trillion in cuts to Medicaid, SNAP and other vital programs to pay for $4.5 trillion in tax cuts for the rich is NOT POPULAR.

“We can’t be the land of the free unless we’re the home of the brave.“
It’s time to take back our country. Not only from this authoritarian nightmare, but also from the collaborators too insipid and weak and chickenshit — too skinless and boneless — to stand up for us.

These women didn’t sit down, stay quiet, or ask for permission—they broke the rules and changed the world. Role models.
We should add Bishop Mariann Budde to the list.
