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.

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.

He's In His Coup Era 🏰

Trump is flirting with invoking the Insurrection Act, and when he says he “can do something,” he usually means he's GOING to do it. This week, Stephen Miller encouraged the fantasy of Trump's so-called “plenary authority” to deploy the National Guard in...

Most Americans don’t know anything about The Constitution so they aren’t enraged about Trump trashing it. Can you say multiple impeachable offenses?

It's hilarious that the same people who claim that their families never owned slaves and their family came here as immigrants get upset when someone posts the truth about America's racist & violent past.

Why do they agree to erase history they had nothing to do with? 🤔

Let’s not forget that every single Republican who stands by and enables Donald Trump could stop this recklessness today, tomorrow or any damn day of the week. Their failure—their refusal—to do so makes them complicit in his crimes and the crimes of his corrupt, lawless regime.

Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million.

Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals.

Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.

Do NOT give them the violence they crave!

They’re salivating for it and that would be handing them a gift.

Peaceful, joyful protests full of community, laughter, music and frogs! 🇺🇸🐸

The museums are being shutdown.
Are we great yet?
Everyone’s being fired.
Are we great yet?
Food is rotting in our fields.
Are we great yet?
The market’s crashing greatly.
Diseases are now running rampant.
At what point aren’t we great?
Our military’s in line at food banks.
So super great.
