📢 Signs of the times. Literally.

On Saturday, April 5, hundreds of thousands of people showed up in cities across the country to say Hands Off our bodies, our freedoms, our democracy. This is what people power looks like. 👏

"It's not left or right. It's right or wrong."

For over 24 hours, Sen. @corybooker.com stood his ground, delivering the longest floor speech in US Senate history. 👏 His words remind us that change happens when we refuse to stay silent. Let’s keep the pressure on.

Trump & Vance’s bullying of Ukraine was appalling—and it’s not going away. This is about global stability.

Take action:
✅ Donate: u24.gov.ua – $10 from every Kamala voter = $750M.
✅ Call: 202-224-3121 – Tell Congress we stand with Ukraine.
✅ Share: Timothy Snyder’s video on Trump’s failures.

What better day than the national economic blackout to break free from Amazon? As if we needed more reasons, Jeff Bezos announced he is reshaping the Washington Post, silencing opposition—a blow to press freedom.

Amazon's grip is everywhere, especially for book lovers. Here are some alternatives.

Roswell, Georgia voters booed Rep. Rich McCormick at a town hall after he defended agency firings, claiming AI could replace jobs or cuts were needed to save Social Security and Medicare.

The voters were having none of it. It will get real in 2026 unless these leaders start actually leading. 💪

This Valentines weekend seems like the right time to celebrate a recent breakup. It was a toxic relationship, based on cheap thrills and easy access. There was always the promise of something life-changing, but what was delivered was often pretty shoddy. Yes, I'm talking about Amazon.

We need you to do everything you can to oppose the Trump/Musk coup. Use every parliamentary tool you have! Oppose every nominee! Shut down the Senate! And don’t stonewall your constituents. We need you to fight like our democracy depends on it — because it does!

Hi @schumer.senate.gov, a bunch of us came to talk to your staff yesterday but no one would even acknowledge us or let anyone up. Same goes for your office, Kirsten Gillibrand. They did, however, find the time to call the cops! Shame on them!

Your right to vote is under attack. 🚨 The House may vote next week on the SAVE Act, which would make voter registration harder for 21+ million Americans. This isn’t about security—it’s voter suppression.

Call your representative and demand they vote NO on the SAVE Act. Our democracy depends on it.

Welcome to the new era, where democracy is up for grabs. Whatever you call it, one thing is clear: it's far from Abraham Lincoln’s vision of ‘government of the people, by the people, for the people.’ Time to sharpen your political vocabulary and stay alert and informed. 🗣️
