Onward. Forward. With your help. Happy birthday to Democracy Americana! One year ago, I started this experiment. To keep it going, I need your support. Let me make my pitch and tell you what Democracy Americana can offer:

Stop the GOP’s new voter suppression legislation act.indivisible.org/sign/stop-go...

🚨 Trump Asked Generals for Greenland Invasion Plans — and “They Say It’s Like Dealing With a Five-Year-Old” open.substack.com/pub/thenorth...

A House panel is holding a hearing on a proposed ban on Congressional stock trading. This ban is long overdue. Why should members of Congress be able to use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you?

Listen to @PaulaPoundstone 🎧 Being president must be stressful. You know what’s even more stressful? Watching democracy unravel while people sit on their couches yelling at the news. Join @FieldTeam6.org. Register Democrats. Pet cats. Save democracy. #Voterizer social.fieldteam6.org/s/rf7aa710

Despite Trump's economic claims, with rising tariffs, just 30% of Americans say they can meet their costs per a poll from Data for Progress.

Texas gerrymandering is about racism. Fewer districts for Black and Brown communities. More power for white Texans. It’s voter suppression by design, and it fuels voter apathy by making people feel like their voices don’t matter. That’s the point.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "This party needs to wake up. These guys aren't screwing around... They're assassins when it comes to the way they weaponize grievance and the way they play politics. Enough! What more goddamn evidence do we need? They have rolled back the last half century in real time!"

We absolutely should not become numb to this

Those Scottish Folks Know How To Stick Together! 47’s hatred of Solar Wind Pinwheels started in Scotland when the Country put them in eyesight of his Waterfront Golf Resort! He Sued (of course) and Lost!

It is SO complicated……..

Just a thought: what if we stopped measuring the economy by the state of the stock market and started measuring it based on how many people are housed and clothed and fed? https://youtu.be/tFjoDq0HfFw?si=vtbE2QNmXskvutjF

To me it’s not as terrifying as it is enraging. Gets me fired-up. Subscribe here: www.dworkinsubstack.com/subscribe

Multiple recent stories about CBP raiding cruise ships and detaining cruise workers who had valid work permits. Any theories about what's going on here? Example 1, about cruise ships raided at the Port of Detroit: www.usatoday.com/story/travel...

The worthless members of the House of Representatives have started their summer break. House members work approximately 123 days a year. They make $174,000.00 a year. That means they make $1,414.63 for each day they work. The average American works 260 days and makes $66,622.00. That is $254.7 a day

Sweetheart deal 2.0 As if the hundreds of victims haven’t been traumatized enough Pam Bondi will shut her up

Breaking from the Office of Pres. Obama: "Our office does not normally dignify the constant nonsense and misinformation flowing out of this White House with a response. But these claims are outrageous enough to merit one. These bizarre allegations are ridiculous and a weak attempt at distraction.

Amen!

Damn Right‼️ 🤬🤬

Here ya go! Have at8 it!

For too long, our government stopped vigorously enforcing laws that keep Corporate America in check. Corporations got more powerful while our basic economic freedoms went unprotected. Former FTC Chair Lina Khan explains.

It’s Newsom vs. Trump on Mass Deportations open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

It's official. I filed a Senate Resolution of Disapproval. RFK is CLEARLY in violation of his constitutional oath. He must resign.

Pass it forward please🦋✌🏼💙

Oligarchy much⁉️

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

Good on this library.

Al gore is pissed off and I’m here for it

Every state needs to do this ASAP

Y’all, I think I found that welfare state the right wingers keep crying about

WHO ELSE AGREES ‘BIGLY?!’ 🤚 He. Should. Pay. His. Own. Way. ✨

meanwhile, prominent pundits continue to deny that there the administration adheres to a segregationist ideology

“Parlor Ornament”. Postcard from my collection, 1906.

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

Agreed 💯 The leader of the formerly free world is a psychopath. He thinks a nuclear war is an option.

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

In my limited expertise as the Mom of two living the spectrum - what an offensive, ignorant, arrogant, ill-informed fool - RFK and all who voted for him are responsible for giving him this spotlight. Autistic people are the kindest and smartest people I have ever met. Cruel fool.
