Forty years in nursing shaped Kathryn Lewandowsky’s fight for universal healthcare, rural hospitals, and a Washington economy that puts working families before corporate profits.

Previously: "I’m running a campaign to improve the Railroad Commission of Texas and to have it work better for the people that we serve, the people of this state. His campaign seems to be about alarmist rhetoric."

Mark Twain coined the term "Gilded Age" to describe post-Civil War America (roughly 1870–1900). An era that glittered on the surface with rapid industrialization and vast wealth, but was rotten underneath with severe income inequality, political corruption, and exploitation of the working class.

ICYMI: In a major victory for student voters, a federal judge blocked Indiana’s ban on the use of student IDs for voter identification. “There is no evidence that student IDs have been used to engage in voter fraud or any other voting-related misconduct,” the court concluded.

THAT WOULD PISS OFF TRUMP!! LOL!!!

Here at NoKings in ATX and saw this sign

This is important.

OSSOFF: Your statement says that as a result of last summer's airstrikes, Iran's nuclear program was 'obliterated.' Correct? GABBARD: Yes O: The WH stated war was launched to 'eliminate the imminent nuclear threat' G: The only person who can determine what's an imminent threat is POTUS O: False

Not vulgar , Spot on.

This!

This is called "freedom" and it's pissing off the new Commissars who believe that artists must perform at the State's command

It’s hard to believe that one man can cause so much stress, so much fear, so much pain and suffering…a man who took an oath to preserve and protect our Constitution. This man, who is inciting terror across our land, must be removed from office. In a sane world, it would happen immediately.

What we’re being told is that a guy who is an adjudicated rapist, who was credibly accused of sexual assault by dozens of women, who paid hush money to a porn star, who cheated on all his wives, who is mentioned hundreds of times in the Epstein files, couldn’t possibly be a sexual predator.

Bill Clinton releasing a statement saying 'release the Epstein files, you cowards' was not on my bingo list.

“These men risked their lives to speak with us. We have a moral and professional obligation to the sources who entrusted us with their stories. Abandoning them now is a betrayal of the most basic tenet of journalism: giving voice to the voiceless.”

The US government is summarily executing people on a weekly basis without telling the American people any of their names or presenting any proof of their guilt, for alleged crimes that do not carry the death penalty in the US.

When democracy is on the line, your buddy list doesn’t matter.

National Guard will be armed. Welcome to a fascist police state.

Do you know about how Norway's teachers stood up to Nazis? I talk about it in my new book, Why Fascists Fear Teachers. You can preorder here: www.WhyFascistsFearTeachers.com

Ted Cruz should be deported to Canada.

#cancuncruz hates Americans.

What does Mamdani’s win mean for progressives all over the country? Zohran Mamdani's win in New York is instructive for both progressive and centrist Democrats. America wants progressive change without fear.

Ha!!! #tedcruz gets smacked down.

Political violence must always be condemned.

Imagine dismantling the only federal agency dedicated to uplifting minority businesses— That’s exactly what Trump did. The MBDA went from nearly 100 employees to just a few. You don’t gut an agency like that unless you’re trying to kill its mission.

Congratulations to @kendallscudder.bsky.social on being elected at Texas Democratic Party Chair!! So nice to have a progressive leader.

Howdy, y’all! I’m Kendall Scudder, and I’m running to be your next Chair of the Texas Democratic Party. For 20 years, I’ve served this Party in just about every role you can imagine—from Precinct Chair to Vice Chair of Finance.

Rep Ann Johnson is a fighter for her community. Definitely worth listening to what she has to say.

So these republicans want companies to be free from accountability when they knowingly give you cancer

Join the team.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the original American patriots fought a fucking Revolutionary War to liberate ourselves from the rule of a king. This ain't the flex he thinks it is.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

Today in LA. I ❤️ my town.

Don’t give into the fear. He’s taking a stand against CNN

Psst. It was never about “merit”. Pete Hegseth, who was just confirmed to lead the Pentagon, was previously “forced to step down by both of the two nonprofit advocacy groups that he ran due to mismanagement of funds, sexual impropriety & reports of intoxicated behavior, The New Yorker reported…” 1/
