Heavy on the pro-democracy and pro-justice posts these days with so much at stake. Also post artwork (collage, assemblage, leaded glass), photos I like, nature, animals, astronomy images, and examples of kindness. No DMs or chats

"The point of fighting fascism isn’t to win every battle. It is to stand courageously against the onslaught, which will encourage others to fight, too. We cannot and will not win every time, but they ultimately cannot defeat us if we stand strong together." ~ Jay Kuo

Tomorrow would be a great day for Mike Johnson to swear in Adelita Grijalva so we can find out whether some of these donations from oligarchs and nepo babies to Trump were made because they are in the Epstein files which Trump and House Republicans are hiding from the people.

Great framing.
Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Sounds like it’s the GOP that’s playing politics with people’s livelihoods. Hold the line, Dems.

This is the guy who lied on the stand at a trial in LA, telling the jury he witnessed the defendant assault the ICE officer, when the video showed the ICE officer assault the defendant. The jury took an hour to acquit. He's referred to immigrants as "filth, trash, and scum."

It’s no surprise that Trump would lie about Reagan adamantly opposing tariffs.

He lies about everything.

It is however surprising that the @RonaldReagan foundation would help him do it.

What a disgrace.

The president announces an arbitrary price hike on Americans because his feelings are hurt by an ad accurately quoting Ronald Reagan’s criticism of tariffs

The reason they’re trying to break everything so fast is that they know they’re likely in for a historic loss in the midterms (even with their current redistricting bullshit).

Winning state and local elections and getting a House majority (at minimum) is our priority right now.
Robert Hubbell, referring to doomsday pundits who apparently want to suppress Dem voter turnout by predicting the Rs will win with all their bad faith efforts, so why bother:

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

I could not be prouder that my law firm is currently litigating 60 voting, election and redistricting cases in 30 states. Even as large law firms bow down, we continue to fight for democracy every single day.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

The post from the Reagan Foundation is just complete gibberish.

The ad did not, in fact, misrepresent Reagan's views. But the idea that anyone needs the Reagan Foundation's goddamn permission to use the publicly broadcast official remarks of a former president and/or edit them for brevity is crazy

This is located in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago, close to Fullerton and Sheffield. It's a densely populated area near DePaul University. I'm pleased to see the community standing up against these despicable individuals.
