Where do I sign up for the boycott? I’ll cancel tomorrow and join T-mobile. Wait? They ended DEI too? Fine, then Verizon. Don’t tell me…

Schumer & Jeffries should have the integrity to resign from their positions in leadership. They've failed, badly. Either they cannot control their caucuses or they're lying & secretly pushed this vote through behind the scenes.
Either way, their betrayal of the American people is indefensible.

Yep. Unbelievable.
I really hope there is a some-number-greater-than-zero percent chance that establishment dems wake up this morning and see that what we are looking for is fighters.

Right now, our Constitution and our democracy are under threat.
We’re proud to be in community with so many who are demanding accountability from those in power on behalf of the American people.
We all must come together to oppose authoritarian power grabs.

Dem politicians are failing to meet the moment we are in right now. They failed to see the threat in Nov ‘24 and Jan ‘25 and seem to think business as usual will work to bring Repubs to their senses. They (not all) are leading from behind instead of leading the charge.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

How we treat others is a reflection on who WE are, not who THEY are.
We could’ve lined up Nazis up & shot them at the end of the war. Afterall, that’s what they did to others. But we held them to account for their actions, because that’s who we are.
That is(was) our belief in the rule of law.

Hegseth: "We unleash overwhelming and punishing violence on the enemy. We also don't fight with stupid rules of engagement. We untie the hands of our warfighters to intimidate, demoralize, hunt, and kill the enemies of our country. No more politically correct and overbearing rules of engagement."

Dear Democrats in Congress: Please stop taking about working with Trump. He is a fascist who is coming for our freedoms. You are normalizing his fascism by speaking of working with him. What we need is for you to take the FIGHT to Trump every day!

This should go without saying, but Trump is not opposed to political violence. He’s opposed to violence against his political allies.
He is either silent about, or approving of, violence against his political enemies.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.
If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.
If you're under 28, the number is 100%.
