www.5calls.org has 50+ topics with talking points to simplify the process of doing our civic duty. Each topic has talking points and connections to the phones of your representatives. They track the number of calls, more than 8 million so far, so that MAGA can't say we don't care.

I think Trump has something bigger planned and destroying the White House is a distraction.

Look at all the damage he has done in less than 10 months .

“All my friends murdered and raped, sometimes they hung out at my house. Get over yourself.”

RFK Jr. explains why socializing with Jeffrey Epstein wasn't such a big deal for him:
...l ran into everybody in NY. I mean, I knew Harvey Weinstein, I knew Roger Ailes, I knew
-- O.J. Simpson came to my house. Bill Cosby came to my house."

Ron Filipkowski @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 1d

When this story broke earlier today Republicans claimed it was probably fake news since it was reported by the NYT. Now multiple media outlets have confirmed it, including Fox. Hegseth and Vance are complete morons for pulling this dumb stunt.

Californians, this is it. In honor of the No Kings protests and to protect democracy, get that Prop 50 ballot in and vote YES.

Remind your friends, your family, and everyone you know—democracy only works if we do.

Unlike 47, VP, & Hegseth, Governor Newsom voiced concerns for public safety about the Marines shooting artillery over I-5. Fortunately, he had I-5 closed for public safety. The Marines/Dept. Of War did NOT request I-5 to be closed. One governs to protect the people. The other doesn’t give a shit.

The AI video Trump posted of himself dumping shit all over America from a plane was metaphorically the most accurate piece of propaganda he’s put out this year.

Q: Do you feel Israel was justified with striking when it did?

TRUMP: Striking where?

Q: In Gaza. Today. And overnight.

TRUMP: I'd have to get back to you on that

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.

Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

You may be living in an absolutely racist country when 13-year-old Black boys are tried and sentenced as adults, but white dudes who *are* adults are called "kids" by JD Vance to shield them from culpability.

Friendly reminder that Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir drops Tuesday and contains the truth she wanted the world to hear about those who abused her and the cost of silence.

Buy it. Read it. Give the woman some justice.
