Please see what really happening. Large peaceful Protests.
Large peaceful protest from over the weekend. What doesnt get views on the news is what's actually happening in the majority of places. Peaceful protests that the local police are more than happy to keep safe while occuring.

This is what Mayor Karen Bass is calling for to continue.

This is a pretty important point!
The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

9 out of 10 agencies targeted by DOGE for layoffs are liberal-leaning. Every single proposed GOP budget increase goes to conservative agencies.

They're not cutting fat—they're performing ideological surgery with a chainsaw.

While Elon Musk and Donald Trump continue their public break up and tear down, the real story is the man replacing Musk at DOGE: Russell Vought.

Democracy Docket dug into Vought and his plans to wreak havoc on millions of Americans. Fund reporting that focuses on facts and cuts through the noise.

Deadline extended.
TODAY is the deadline for submitting public comments on the proposed rule to take away protections for civil servants, enabling them to be fired at will (when they don't fit the ruling party's interests). Here's my comment. I hope you'll submit too! #SaveNSF www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

Voters overwhelmingly think ALL Americans should have access to vaccines — not just those who are immunocompromised.

Start every day with this reality:

EVERY HOUSE SEAT and 33 Senate seats are up for election in 2026. THAT must be the focus. Let’s get disciplined.

Aside from cutting health care for the elderly & poor, the Republican budget steers $160 BILLION to enrich private prisons + quadruple the size of Trump’s American Gestapo ICE — while making them immune from prosecution.

TLDR: You are not alarmed enough.

Three weeks from right now, we will be taking to the streets across the country on No Kings Day. Over 1,000 events are planned in response to Trump’s $100 million birthday parade in DC. We hope you will join us on June 14: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

This is what an authoritarian regime would do. Hidden deep in Trump’s 1,100-page bill that passed the House today is a provision that would block federal courts from enforcing contempt charges against government officials who violate court orders.

It’s official: Over 1,000 events are planned for No Kings Day on June 14.

While Trump wastes nearly $100 million on his birthday parade in DC, we will be taking to the streets everywhere else to show the world what democracy really looks like.

Very sad to hear Rep. Connolly has passed.

Also, Dems might be wise to consider empowering younger people and not clinging to power until the very end?

There's a reason why they're piecing together this one big bullshit bill in the dead of night and barely publicizing what exactly is in it.

They're scared. Of what YOU, their constituents, are gonna do if they pass this bill.

Keep up the pressure. We only need to peel off a few votes. 👉 5calls.org

🔥🚨🔥 The House could put the Big Bullshit Bill on the floor as soon as *tomorrow* (Weds) after tonight's final 1am committee meeting.

It's crunch time. Flood the phones.

Republicans are voting tonight at 10PM—in the dead of night—on their Big Bad Billionaire Bill:

$1.1 trillion in tax cuts for the rich paid for by Medicaid cuts and hungry children.

They hope you won’t notice.

But we will call out Republican’s betrayal of America’s families.
