“By exercising rights loudly, courageously, and openly, people protect them… [Trump's attacks on the 14th Amendment] serve to divide and distract people as the White wealthy class consolidates power. But just like those who walked before us, we can claim our rights.”

"As organizers and practitioners of democracy, we must act every day to protect these invaluable rights—irrespective of race, class, or status.

...The 14th Amendment says freedom and dignity belong to all of us."

SCOTUS just upheld marriage equality by refusing to revisit the 2015 ruling. Millions of LGBTQ+ Americans keep their right to marry. Love still wins. ❤️🌈 Text DEFEND to 25463 #LoveWins

Millions are losing healthcare today because of Republican cruelty and the cowardice of the eight Senate Democrats who voted with them.
"Democrats could have held the line on the shutdown, and spent weeks watching Trump’s approval ratings fall," writes Jonathan Chait. Instead, he argues, they're making a mistake by giving in: https://theatln.tc/ZOBij51v

Workers are about to see their health insurance costs go up by 5%.

Employers will see 10% higher health insurance costs.

That's because healthcare is being cut in order to send a six-figure tax break to each member of the richest 1%.

I'm sure that'll be great for the economy.

“Fascism is not new. It wears a new dress, buys new boots—but it can only reproduce fear, denial, and the loss of will to fight.”

Toni Morrison’s timeless warning on fascism & censorship still rings out today.

Our schools and families are under attack.⁠

The proposed federal budget slashes $12 billion from education and guts programs like Title I, after-school care, and teacher training.

It also puts 18 million kids’ meals at risk.⁠

🏘VICTORY! Tarrytown opts into #GoodCause with the strongest tenant protections possible.

It will give power back to tenants by enabling them to fight for the living conditions they deserve, and protecting them from exorbitant rent increases, often used as unofficial eviction notices.

¡Sí se pudo!

Congress has already cut SNAP and Medicaid — now they’re setting their sights on housing and homeless assistance. These programs keep people housed and alive! More cuts will push more people into homelessness. #StopTheFederalCuts

Earlier this week, UNE members joined @popdemoc.bsky.social in DC. While there, members met with representatives from Colorado, told their stories, and made clear what drastic cuts to housing programs would mean for their communities.

They want:
🚫 411k families evicted
🚫 Elders in unsafe homes
🚫 Disabled folks pushed into the militarized streets
All to line billionaire landlord wallets + fund ICE and private prisons
Join us to say NO TO HOUSING CUTS!

The money exists to resist authoritarianism and build something better. What’s missing isn’t resources—it’s imagination.
