Not voting for Dems in November will be voting against democracy. I can't see it defined in any other way. Vote to continue The American Experiment; policies on how to do that can be argued later, but only if we continue to have the right to SPEAK at all.

The worst thing you can ever do is rely on polls to decide whether you vote or not. Polls are frequently wrong. Polls don't vote only people do! One thing is for sure-if you don't vote there will be no change! This madness will continue! VOTE BLUE

Miss Major Griffin-Gracy was a veteran of the Stonewall uprising, a former sex worker, and an advocate for over 50 years for the trans and gender-nonconforming community.

IF we don't have armed conflict and IF Dems regain House and Senate and they have the gall to preen and strut they deserve whatever they get; it will be time to FIX THINGS, not take a lap. We can't get worse off by it, but if they don't buckle down and get to work, we won't be better off, either.

Will this FINALLY be the ignored court order that opens GOP eyes? Or is it time to challenge that threat of martial law and show up in D.C.? Thoughts?

The members of SCOTUS who decided in favor of Presidential Immunity have lost the thread of what democracy is entirely and should be impeached on the basis of that ruling alone, not to mention their many other flagrant ethical violations.

We don’t need more reports telling us the house is on fire. We need leaders who turn off the gas, fund the firefighters, and protect the most vulnerable. Science is done. Now comes the politics of survival. #ClimateAction

#Denmark built so much wind that some blustery hours the turbines out-produce what the whole country is using. When that happens, the extra power doesn’t sit idle. It moves through Denmark’s links into the wider European network and heads to neighbors like Germany, Norway, Sweden. #ActOnClimate

100 companies are responsible for 71% of global emissions. They told YOU to recycle better while they polluted more. Don't fall for it. Hold systems accountable. #ClimateCrisis

Will Trumpy go down in history as the worst ever president? I suspect it will be hard for anyone to be this evil. When he's gone, we will be forced to spend billion$ to de-Trumpy America.

We could eliminate $7 billion in medical debt with the $70 million they spent to beat me in the primary. Those same corporations and special interests are trying to buy the seat for Mike Rogers now. In November we teach them once and for all: Michigan is not for sale.

For no other reason than cruelty, Trump is threatening to deport Haitians who are contributing to the Massachusetts economy. It's wrong. Congress should reinstate TPS protections, not let Trump rip people out of communities and send them into immediate danger.

I gave 'em a pass in the beginning, willing to believe it a lack of information at the core of their support of Asshat. No more. Now morality/decency is the only explanation. They might choose to overlook the evils - or tell themselves they are; it's no longer possible. They approve w/their silence.

Does anyone else feel the Prez's and his family's dealings w/the Saudis (and maybe even China) could be investigated on the suspicion of treason against the U.S.? Personally, I don't think a simple impeachment would be good enough this time and he's being very free w/proprietary chips and uranium...

President Donald Trump unleashed a barrage of unfounded claims in his prime-time speech Thursday. But since then, election officials across the country have rushed to refute the lies and defend their states’ election systems. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

When are Democrats in D.C. going to face the fact that we're no longer living in a democracy and start fighting fire w/fire?? Hegseth has to go and the Constitution upheld - if it's not already too late. It's time for a coup if we're going to have a country to restore. Or - accept the dictatorship.

How do we get rid of the corruption when the corrupt are the ones in charge of removing the corruption? I know that Americans businesses have this attitude that they need to self-regulate themselves, but hasn’t that failed a million times over the last 250 years?

At this point in our history, not voting for Dems in November will be voting against democracy. I can't see it defined in any other way. (Not voting at all, included.) Vote to continue the experiment; policies on how to do that can be argued later, but only if we continue to have the right to SPEAK.

Today, I introduced legislation to require that the minimum wage be a living wage. $25 an hour is what’s required for a full time worker to pay their bills, and we shouldn’t accept that full time work leaves people living in poverty.

What a powerful message! My aai (maternal grandma) in India got small pox. My mom had to get the small pox vaccine. She has that same vaccine scar. Their generation saw the havoc. We were spared from that. The public health actions taken by the past generations affect the future of children. 🧪

I'm developing a new attitude since we elected an idiot for a president and tending to blame Israel's leader, rather than its populace. As a people, they've earned the right to play the victim card. That doesn't excuse their choice in leadership, but he isn't representing the majority any more.

I fear that one day we'll discover that had our country demanded justice for the Epstein survivors, we'd have rid ourselves of many of our political demons much sooner.
