A crown doesn’t belong anywhere near our democracy. Neither does voter suppression. Tomorrow, October 17, we’re organizing across the country to vote early and defend our elections. Bring your stubborn, beautiful refusal to surrender. #VoteEarlyOnNoKings #USDemocracy

James Talarico: False claims got millions of views — and this is an example of what I call the ‘rage economy.’ Billionaires who own these platforms get rich, we get angry, and nobody’s life gets better. Conspiracy theories don’t put food on the table, put gas in the tank, or improve our communities.

The #KennedyCenter was built from 1964 to 1971 & opened on September 8, 1971. Congress originally created it as a national cultural center for music, theater, dance & the arts. After President John F. Kennedy’s assassination in 1963, it was renamed as the nation’s living memorial to him. #SheShed

The Constitution is more than words preserved in history—it is a promise that power has limits, rights have meaning, and democracy belongs to the people. On Constitution Day, remember: our freedoms endure when we understand them, exercise them, and protect them. 🇺🇸📜 #Pinks

Increase in productivity since 1979: 93% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 34% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

NEVER FORGET: Howard Lutnick said that seniors won't care if they don't get their Social Security checks & anyone who complained is a fraudster. As someone on SSDI if I didn't get my check I WOULD BE LIVID! It is my ONLY income.🤬 REMINDER: MOST of the GOP AGREE: VOTE THEM ALL OUT!

"Every Democrat voted to extend the subsidies and keep you healthcare costs down, and almost every Republican voted against it. That's why your premiums went up." Every Dem should be repeating this endlessly and there should be constant ads on it. The average American probably doesn't have a clue.
