America is bailing out Argentina, while Argentine farmers sell soybeans to China instead of American farmers, thereby bankrupting them, which is why America also have to bail out American farmers.

If this is considered winning, I fear what losing looks like.

Join us in peacefully protesting for our neighbors. The pressure is mounting — let’s get this inhumane facility shut down.

Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.
The White House is continuing to pressure more states to gerrymander their congressional maps because they are afraid of voters holding them accountable for their unpopular policies.

This is a decisive moment for our democracy. Take action to fight back against this power grab. ⬇️

Starbucks unions are practicing picketing as the company abuses its workers and denies them a fair contract.

This is your reminder to not cross a picket line and support workers!

NO CONTRACT, NO COFFEE.

bit by bit, the administration is laying the groundwork and actually carrying out a system of repressing democratic life in america. redefining opposition as terrorism, targeting critics, investigating civic funders.

we're so far beyond normal and, again, only eight months in.

Important thing to know: Grand juries only hear one side of the story. The defense doesn’t cross examine witnesses or present a case. Good prosecutors are committed to the truth & doing justice. They don’t indict cases when the defendant can contradict their case.
