Democracy is dying in America, and resistance begins with language — it shapes what the public sees, and what they’re willing to tolerate.
Resistance begins when we refuse to repeat their lies.
Words become action. Action becomes power. Truth becomes revolution.

The right is trying to deploy its usual terror tactics against Texas Democrats and the state of Illinois. It won’t work.
With millions of people’s voting rights on the line, the stakes couldn’t be higher. This is the type of bravery and fight we need from Democrats:

“You have a lot of intelligent attorneys that serve in the Texas House, and so they know there’s nothing he can do outside of the Texas jurisdiction.”

More women have nearly bled to death during miscarriage under Texas’ abortion ban.
Experts say the trend paints a troubling picture of the harms of unnecessary delays in care.
“This is striking,” one doctor said. “The trend is very clear.”

Y’all, this picture was taken in 1938.
In 1938 the CEO to worker pay ratio was about 20:1.
Today, it’s estimated to be 344:1.
