Animal lover, LGBTQIA+ ally, tree-hugging environmentalist; been told I have a “smart mouth”, so thanks. Sick of fascists and MAGAts. Not interested in crypto or hooking up. Democrat for life. And, oh yeah, I despise *45! Do not DM me uninvited.

I do not know what form our resistance will take over the next several years.
It may well be, though, that we will be called upon to stand up for our fellow Americans, in ways large and small.

We are likely going to have to be loud.

Never be afraid to become ungovernable.

VON DER LEYEN: Every single child has to go back to its family. This should be one of our main priorities in these negotiations.

TRUMP: I was just thinking we're here for a different reason but we just a couple weeks ago made the largest trade deal in history. Congratulations.

Weird that 250 years ago we’d utterly rebel at the idea of a tyrant taxing our tea without allowing us representation, but this year we have a loud mouthed tyrant who single-handed levied the biggest tax hike in history, and we’re doing NOTHING about it?

We’ve devolved, folks

If you’re in Austin, there is a current call to show up at the Capitol building 1100 Congress Ave. - tonight 08/17 at 7:00pm.

The Texas GOP is holding Democratic Rep. Nicole Collier hostage.

She refused to sign a “permission slip” that would require a police escort!

The increased revenue from tariffs is not coming from other countries. It’s coming from you having to pay more for absolutely everything.
What will you get in return?
Nothing.
No Medicaid, decreased SS & Medicare...
You get NOTHING.
Trump is spending it all on creating a dictator palace.

Scientists and academics, assemble! It's time to fight Nazis-again.
NEVER try to appease a rancid bully-he will never be appeased, or stop. You have to punch a bully in the mouth to make them stop, but they are cowards at heart.

Grocery stores that have been eating the cost of tariffs are about to pump the brakes. Some are looking to be more transparent about the coming price hikes.

Starting tomorrow, new tariffs of 15% to 50% hit a wide range of food items.

If you’ve got a household food budget, this is a must-watch.

RFK Jr. is the perfect example of that rich kid you might have known who was never wrong because he could never feel failure. Even his family shunning him leaves him with wealth. To him, all of you are wrong always. Enjoy your sh*t sandwich for enabling him to enact his ignorant spoiled desires.

Article 1, Section 9 & 10 have been removed from the official Govt website on the US Constitution. Among numerous points:
•Section 9 forbids suspending The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus
•Section 10 forbids ex post facto laws

This better be a joke. Ignoring these is full blow dictatorship

The Voting Rights Act was designed to protect individual voting rights against state interference. The Supreme Court majority has eviscerated it in favor of deference to state suppression. Now the GOP wants to use that to destroy representative democracy.

The Voting Rights Act Explained
The landmark 1965 law is one of the most successful civil rights measures in history, but the Supreme Court has eviscerated it.
