We do not hate this country.

We fight and protest because we love it with all our heart and refuse to allow someone to destroy it.

We will continue to fight until this country is great for everyone. ✊🏽

ICE targeted an apartment building near my home. Masked agents in unmarked cars. I've said this before. Democratic Governors & Mayors need to order their local police depts to arrest any & all unidentified & masked alleged ICE agents.

This anonymous denial of due process is deadly.

That's not what I'm hearing, he has conservative views but running as a Democrat.

I want to know where he stands on things that matters to a lot of us.

I'm not falling for the "he's younger" bit.

- Immigration
- LGBTQIA rights
- Civil Rights
- Abortion & women's rights to their body

-AIPAC funded?

Don't choose someone just because they are young, & don't disregard someone because they are old. Choose them for the good they do.
If Janet Mills wins the nomination, vote for her, don't refuse to vote for her & allow a repub. to stay in that seat.
We must work together, don't let them destroy us.

Fresh off not winning the Nobel Peace Prize, Trump decides to blow up another boat and call it narco terrorism.

Why Venezuela hasn't declared war on us, I don't know.

The ‘Peace President’ killed six more people off the coast of Venezuela this morning. We have no evidence other than his word that they were a threat to anyone, anywhere and also release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention in this matter!

Just watched a video (of someone from outside the book community) that started off with the premise “read diverse fiction to combat authoritarianism” and then went on to give 1984 as an example 🤦🏻‍♀️

Anyway, please follow BIPOC creators who read and recommend actual diverse fiction every single day

No more old candidates but we also need qualified ones and not just "younger" as our option.

That's how we got stuck with @fetterman.senate.gov & @gluesenkampperez.house.gov & now we have 2 Republicans cosplaying as Democrats.

Janet Mills has announced a run for U.S. Senate. If elected, she would be 85 at the end of her first time.

If you care about democracy, generational renewal, and leadership that actually serves working people—You should want new leadership in Graham Platner.

He said his name FOUR times in 40 seconds, making sure people remember his name when they hear shutdown. They're trying to spin it for their minions to call it that.

This is the #EpsteinShutdown by Republicans. They have options & we all know it.

The use of “hate America rally” sure does seem like a clarion call for MAGA “patriots” to mow down folks on the 18th to demonstrate that they “love” America.

This is why the inflatable costumes works so well -- it works the same way calling them "weird" or "creepy" did. It disrupts their narrative, and makes them seem pathetic rather than cool-and-cruel.

Major airports are refusing to air Kristi Noem’s propaganda video blaming Democrats for the shutdown, and there’s a reason: it violates the Hatch Act
