The Speaker just had us vote to rename the Gulf of Mexico as retirement accounts are tanking, prices are up, and our small businesses are wondering if they can survive the trade war.

There are so many other bills we could bring to the floor that would solve real problems.

Long before Trump, a study by Princeton found that the vast majority of legislation passed in Washington helped companies and the wealthy, not average Americans. Unfortunately, this falls on the shoulders of Dems as well as Republicans.
Republiban priorities:

📌Tax cuts for richest responsible for the majority of national debt

📌Gut and end programs for the majority to hand corporate welfare to richest

📌 Reward defense contractors,t donors & special interest groups who are writing the bills

"They’ve gotten just about everything they want, and it’s not enough. It’s never enough. These people are never happy. They crave outrage. They demand purity. They’re apoplectic that the first American pope actually reads his Bible."

He's losing court cases. He's losing his trade war. His cabinet is a disaster. Voters are turning out against his people and ideals. He's unpopular. He looks weaker everyday.
The only thing he has is executive orders and firing his own people.
It's early, keep fighting, we're going to win this. 💙

Worcester police and ICE are disgraceful.
🚨 Disturbing footage shows the brutal arrest of a terrified 16-year-old girl—sobbing, screaming as “ICE agents” abducted her mom without a warrant or ID. At least 4 grown men slammed her face into the pavement.
This is child abuse.
This is state terror.
Worcester police are complicit.

For nearly a century, the United States has led the world in scientific and technological innovation, and we've reaped uncountable economic benefits from it.

This happened because scientists have been allowed to pursue truth and discovery wherever they may lead. We abandon that at our own peril

Every single member of this "Administration" must be regularly dragged before Congress and dismantled in this way. It's a key part of the tapestry of #resistance.

This would be a good message for your 5Calls.org to your Senators and Congressional Representative. 😃

If they don't show identification they are just criminals kidnapping people in broad daylight and we the people should react accordingly. Especially if your skin is white like mine.

Fuck Naomi Kristi. Fuck Trump. And as always fuck ICE.
ICE dragged a mother from her home in Massachusetts—clinging to her baby—without showing a warrant or ID.

When neighbors demanded proof, ICE sneered, “We don’t have to show you anything.”

That’s not law enforcement. That’s state-sponsored kidnapping.
This is fascism & it’s terrifying.
