I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

Thus far, ICE and CBP in the Chicago region killed an immigrant

Shot a woman 5 times-after allegedly taunting her, saying “Do something, b****”

And shot a priest-who wasn’t remotely a threat-in the head

So when does Governor Pritzker deploy the National Guard to protect citizens from these thugs

Trump’s new law trying to close down health care providers who provide abortion care may take away life-saving primary care and treatment for common chronic diseases in rural areas around the country. Medicaid is a big part of the revenue for rural clinics and without federal funding they may close.

Leading economists say the U.S. saw “essentially no job growth” last month.

Small businesses are getting crushed by Trump’s tariffs and immigration chaos while health care carries the economy.

The shutdown means no official jobs data—just more chaos and uncertainty.

Nike has a terrific line of disability sneaks that Critter loves (already expensive in the 1st place). But they look like regular, everyday shoes, and they’re so comfortable!
This pair has luckily lasted four years. New ones will just have to wait. 😩

Here's an example call in Spanish from Hortensia who made calls with me yesterday.

Go to stopelectionrigging.com
You can volunteer from any state to save democracy.

We need you!
Don't wanna volunteer?

You are my hero!

You see the peril in our country.

You know democracy is in danger.

You post about it daily.

The good news is that YOU can save us, and volunteering for elections is the most effective use of your time—far more effective than posting.

And Prop 50 is the most important race rn. 🧵
