Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Meanwhile in Portland…Frog becomes symbol of resistance. Teasing seems far more effective than fighting. Loving all the frogs and creative costumes!
Go Portland!

My friends, hope has started to return after the news of a possible ceasefire. A part of us still doubts after everything we’ve been through, but we cannot give up hope. Please pray that peace truly comes 🙏🕊️

There’s hope for peace, but after two long years we’ve lost everything and still live in tents.
You are the ones who decide will we remain in tents, or finally have a home with dignity
Please keep supporting us by donating and sharing the campaign ❤️

It isn't too much power, it's the kind of power. Simply put, if a govt isn't protecting its citizens from govt, it's the wrong kind

Dear people of the U.K. (ostensibly England and Wales)

Until you realise this country is fucked because of 14 years of terrible mismanagement in every way by the Tories….

You will end up with Reform U.K. Ltd (Tories on crack) running this country.

And you think it’s bad now?!

I'm sure BBC investigative documentary strand Panorama is even now working on an incisive exposé of Reform's financial links to Russia and it's just that they haven't announced it publicly yet

Republicans declare themselves patriots, then turn around and block the paychecks of the men and women who defend America.

And what’s really wild, some of those same troops keep voting red while getting screwed over again and again.
