Attend a No Kings Protest yesterday? Thank you for showing up! An estimated 4-6 million people protested across the country. Wouldn't it be amazing if all of us picked one issue and used @5calls.org to contact our reps today and tomorrow?
Let's do it.

Amen.
I wont return to the disgusting past I was born into with separate doors, bathrooms, tables, water fountains etc for whites and "coloreds"- a Jim Crow world supported by the KKK and Southern Evangelicals.
They had these kind of water fountains in my school.

This is a big deal: Five Republicans just voted against Trump’s Tax Scam because they want even more cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. Delaying this bill will make Mike Johnson’s job even more difficult — and we get more time to make calls to Congress, toxify Trump’s Tax Scam, and defeat it.

How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

As of today, a new term has entered our language. A “rubio” is a spineless lump of nothing. Example: Don’t be such a rubio.
