It’s especially rough today.
My head is filled with a lot of bad things. I don’t know how we get out of this nightmare. but, I know it’s not the world I want for my daughter, so I’m going to keep fighting.

Thinking of 9/11 and the passengers of flight 93 who gave their lives to down a plane so it wouldn’t crash into the White House. 😔

Jeffries: "Republicans are the party of lawlessness and disorder, including the ongoing crime scene at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave which is running the largest pay to play scheme in the history of the country in real time. And we hear nothing but crickets from Mike Johnson."

donald trump wants 230 million dollars from the DOJ for doing their job and prosecuting him for his crimes. He'll probably get it too. Shoot I never asked for a dollar, I just want him and every single person who attacked my coworkers and me on January 6th held accountable.

Harry 💙
I’m heartsore and soul weary,
But you once told me not to give up,
So, I won’t.
You have something he‘ll never have - integrity & respect.
All the money in the world will never buy him that.

The same people saying the marches are useless are the same people not voting unless a candidate is perfect. jfc, step up already people. 7 million people taking to the streets moves the needle. Join in and do the damn work.

According to HCR the National Capitol Panning Commission has not signed off on the demolition as the White House has not submitted plans to them yet. She wrote about it in her letter today.

For every person who protested, there are more who feel the same but couldn‘t be there - jobs, kids, illness, travel. Plus, it provided social proof of a large, sustained, motivated, and non-violent opposition. There’s a pretty dense media bubble to break thru. These events do that.

Ironic that a bunch of maga trolls have said it’s ridiculous that we’re saying he’s trying to be a king, and yet… golden ballroom, anyone?
Goodbye to the people‘s house as it was, it will never be the same.

It was 7 million + 45, actually.
And, you are so close to getting it…
Maybe reading the signs might give you a hint. ✌️
