“Project 2025…’Trump’s plan to take your power, your control, and your money.’” - Kamala Harris (2024)

“If he is elected, Trump intends to give tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations, to cut Social Security and Medicare, to surrender our fight against the climate crisis, and to end the Affordable Care Act.” - Kamala Harris

“Trump's advisors have created a 900-page blueprint — called 'Project 2025'— detailing everything else they plan to do in a second term, including a plan to cut Social Security, repeal our $35 cap on insulin, eliminate the Department of Education and end programs like Head Start." - Kamala Harris

“Generations of women had suffered too much for the suffrage cause for modern women to quit in fear when they were so close to achieving their goal…Ultimately, if it came down to marching into danger or staying at home, they would march.” - from The Women’s March by Jennifer Chiaverini #BookQuotes

Imagine telling struggling families there’s no money for food assistance, then sweetening tax incentives that can help finance giant rural data centers. Trump’s priorities couldn’t be clearer. Who asked for this bargain, exactly? Not us and not the people! #RepublicansLoveDataCenters

“In the…recounts that followed, an astonishing amount of corruption & voter suppression was uncovered- improperly processed ballots, not enough ballots…to districts where approval of suffrage was strong…, antisuffrage literature left in voting booths.” -from The Women’s March by Jennifer Chiaverini

The US is now allied with Russia to lower the price of diesel, which is sky-high because of its war against Iran, which is being supported by… Russia. Make it make sense!

“Emotionally immature people are annoyed by other people’s differing thoughts and opinions, believing everyone should see things their way.” - from Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents by Lindsay C Gibson #BookQuotes

“It was at this time that the brisker conservative clergymen saw that their influence and oratory and incomes were threatened by any authentic learning.” - from Elmer Gantry by Sinclair Lewis #BookQuotes

“But the good Christians have taken God and made him into a menacing bully.” - from Elmer Gantry by Sinclair Lewis #BookQuotes

Religion in a nutshell… “Elmer had, even in Zenith, to meet plenty of solemn and whiskery persons whose only pleasure aside from not doing agreeable things was keeping others from doing them.” - from Elmer Gantry by Sinclair Lewis #BookQuotes

If Dems do take back the legislature, please tell me they have an immediate plan to stop people from being “deported”/trafficked to third countries! #dems

The president doesn’t have some mysterious ability to do whatever he wants Republicans at every level choose not to stop him, even though they could Senate, House, appointees, local officials, candidates — all lined up, smiling for the camera, fully complicit

REMINDER: Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in now 73 days. Yet he still: •Has his job •Gets paid, and •Gets free world-class healthcare The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, & against guaranteed paid leave—gets all three as he needs it most.😐

Who’s fixing the gas prices?? Exactly $3.99 at every station and has been that way for weeks…never changing. That’s so not normal!

It's an all hands on deck moment. Lawyers need to do their job to protect elections. Courts must do their job to ensure the law is followed. And, voters must make sure they have a plan to vote and turn out.

Social Security has been America’s most effective anti-poverty program since 1935. Last year, it lifted 23.5 million people out of poverty, including 16.5 million seniors. Remember this when Republican leaders suggest raising the retirement age or cutting your benefits. ~ Robert Reich

Absolutely without a doubt! And, when this does happen, we need to remember to place the blame squarely where it belongs - on the entire Republican Party for enabling it!

I just read “Of Mice and Men” by John Steinbeck. This was a short read,(about 3 hours or so) and I just enjoyed it so much. Really recommend reading this one!The movie with John Malcovich was also really good. Read the things they don’t want you to read. Free your mind!📚💙 #ReadBannedBooks

Todd Blanche having his conformation vote at 4:00 AM tells you everything you need to know about how Republicans in Congress operate. They reserve their most toxic moves for the dead of night.

Donald Trump has publicly said at least 42 times since late March 2026 that the United States and Iran were close to reaching a deal. 42 times. He lied every time, and he continues to lie to us.

We must unseat them all. They have destroyed our reputation globally. They have alienated our allies almost without exception. They have supported genocide & committed war crimes. They have terrorized our neighbors. They have skyrocketed our debt. They don’t deserve to lead our country!

This world isn't collapsing because humanity became too compassionate, too equal, or too free… It is collapsing because greedy fucking sociopaths, converted governments into protection rackets for oligarchs and crooks, like Trump!! Any Questions?! 😎✨

Workers at Ghirardelli’s shop in San Francisco began a three-day strike yesterday. The company has been charging customers a 6% “healthcare fee” while simultaneously cutting workers’ care. This is why we need unions. substack.com/@usdemocrati...

Thou shalt not claim you are fighting fraud when you are the most corrupt leader of a country in the history of the entire world and it’s not close.

As a voting citizen of the USA for over half a century, the most insane & disgusting thing to me about Americans is the fact that even though national elections can be won by a handful of votes, 70 to 80 million Americans don't bother to vote at all while complaining about how bad our government is.

6,500 requests for clemency were summarily thrown in the garbage without any type of review simply because they were filed during the time of the previous administration.

Dead or alive, Mitch McConnell is on extended medical leave — on your dime. This is the same Mitch McConnell who voted against: paid family and medical leave for everyone else.
