Trump promised to lower the cost of living, but things have gotten even harder! Coffee is up 33%. Vegetables are up 40%. Washing machines cost 12% more. @momsrising.org is gathering #Trumpflation stories about high prices - do you have one to share? trumpflation.momsrising.org #MomSky
END #Trumpflation

Amanda Gorman finished this poem just after the January 6 riot.

Read the full poem here: www.cnbc.com/2021/01/20/a...

Never give in to the lie that there's nothing left worth fighting for. “For there is always light, if only we’re brave enough to see it.”

Goodnight 💚
We will rise from the gold-limned hills of the West. We will rise from the wind-swept Northeast where our forefathers first realized revolution. We will rise from the lake-rimmed cities of the Midwestern states. We will rise from the sun-baked South. We will rebuild, reconcile and recover in every known nook of our nation, in every corner called our country our people diverse and beautiful will emerge battered and beautiful. When day comes, we step out of the shade aflame and unafraid. The new dawn blooms as we free it. For there is always light, if only we’re brave enough to see it. If only we’re brave enough to be it. -Amanda Gorman, The Hill We Climb

Sexual abuse is pervasive & survivors who share their stories are often met with hostility. That's why It's important we publicly support all survivors. Write R&B artist Cassie Ventura a letter & @WeAreUltraViolet will deliver it! share.weareultraviolet.org/s/a0Cftlme
Cassie Ventura, eight months pregnant, faced her abuser in a high-profile case.

The Dems can’t just be anti-Trump. This race has to be more than “I’m not Lauren Boebert.” Voters deserve vision. If you won’t say where you stand, you don’t belong in Congress.

Last week, Trump confirmed plans to hold a military parade on his birthday. Rather than give Trump the self-congratulatory show he's seeking, thousands will gather across the nation for No Kings Day.

There's always been reason to believe DOGE was hacking govt systems. Now a whistleblower has substantiated it at NLRB, precisely the kind of data compromise labor unions worried about when they sued re DOL.
npr.org NPR @npr.org · Apr 15
EXCLUSIVE: A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.
