Been out here at these protests since 2/5/2025. Even then, the crowds were impressive up here in the snow & subzero temperatures. To bear witness to the growth of this movement since those days fills my ❤️‍🩹 with pride. Today's the largest crowd so far💪

A remembrance statement regarding how September 30th marks the end of the Deferred Resignation Program and the consequences of 100,000 federal civil servants being forced out today, and reminding them that they have our respect, especially because they had to make such a difficult decision regarding the DRP earlier this year. We thank them for their service.

& the scarier questions are who owns them and/or what do they have on our current administration?!

Don't forget to remind this POS administration to #releasethepsteinfiles because everyone is hoping that we'll forget and move on.

appreciate you speaking the truth for decades @sanders.senate.gov 🫶
Senator Bernie Sanders statement reads: this is what American media looks like today: the wealthiest person in the world, Elon Musk, owns X. The second wealthiest person in the world, Larry Ellison, owns Paramount, including CBS and will possibly now be taking over Tik Tok and CNN. Jeff Bezos owns the Washington Post and Twitch. Mark Zuckerberg owns both Facebook and Instagram. In fact the top five richest men in the world are ALL media owners or executives. When we talk about oligarchy in America, it's not only income and wealth inequality. It's control over the media and what the American people are able to see, hear, and read.
