"Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble." ~John Lewis

Just saw an exchange every politician should note. Someone said their dad was considering Ashley Moody because of negative ads about Angie Nixon. Angie showed up in the replies, addressed his concerns & made it personal. People want to feel heard, not talked at & Angie’s response is perfection 🔥

Dear Trump voters, You wanted mass deportations. Well, hundreds of thousands of people have been deported. NOW WHAT? • Did you get that job they supposedly took from you? • Did grocery prices drop? • Is rent cheaper? • Did your health insurance premiums drop? #TrumpsAbuseOfPower 🧵

It's Artificial Intelligence. It's Twitter. It's the Gulf of Mexico. It's Lake Ontario. It's the Department of Defense. It's the Kennedy Center.

Pay teachers a fair wage. Pay paraprofessionals who help support our kids a fair wage. Make sure our schools are safe, clean, warm, and dry.

I know I've posted this many times - needs to flood the media until election day.

I am so so so tired of this awful presidency.

Hurting the president’s feelings isn’t a national security threat Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I hope the other networks follow suit.

He's going to start his own news network now. It will be straight up propaganda on steriods. It is straight out of the totalitarian playbook, but people won't take it seriously until it's too late.

Make it a permanent ban until Trump’s gone. Media coverage is his oxygen. Starve him of it.

LEAKED PHOTOS Hegseth isn’t coming clean on the extent of the damage to American assets overseas. Now we’re seeing the leaked photos. Hundreds of structures damaged or destroyed. Nearly 60 aircraft damaged or lost. Up to $3.7 BILLION in equipment losses.

American democracy is under siege…

So, did the whole country just stop talking about the fact that Mitch McConnell is dead and the GOP is still covering it up?

#WheresMitch

The ONLY reason why he did it is because someone told him he would lose the support of Tennessee and other red states if he didn’t lower the flags. He did it out of self preservation. He didn’t do it after Rep. Melissa Hortman was murdered, he wanted to piss off Minnesota.

JUST IN: The total US debt has officially hit $40 TRILLION for the first time IN HISTORY

Conservative backlash was supposed to put an end to the diversity, inclusion and equity (DEI) movement as companies were warned “go woke, go broke”. In January 2025, Donald Trump delivered a death knell, ending DEI (cont.) www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

If you owe a woman 5 million dollars for sexual assault, you also owe the country your resignation.

We have enough wealth for everyone to have healthcare, safe food, affordable housing, and a future worth believing in. Scarcity is a political choice.

Hey so, @bsky.app I don't like to see the trending topics in the middle of the feed. Feels weird. Can we turn that off or hide it? Thx! and love y'all 💕

Wait... I thought they were fiscally conservative. Why are they spending over a TRILLION dollars to fund unnecessary wars?

Are we going to make it to the other side of this? What does that look like? Is it better or worse than it was before the chaos?

For most of us, seeing the Klan 2.0, a.k.a. Patriot Front, march through Washington, D.C., unchallenged by authorities overshadowed any celebration of America’s 250th anniversary. My ancestors lived through this. And no one today can say with a straight face that racism is behind us.

Just here to say ICE agent Jonathan Ross shot Renee Good as she was driving away. Sue me.

This Juneteenth, we should remind ourselves of two facts: 1. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. 2. Those who prevent history from being taught are plotting to repeat it. It’s as simple as that.

Is America great again yet?

If you have to pay a country THREE HUNDRED BILLION DOLLARS just to end the war YOU started with them, then congrats, YOU LOST!!!

I have watched Spike Lee at every Knicks game my entire life and they have not won one in my lifetime. I am happy for the Knicks, NY/NYC and Spike Lee!!! #Knicks #KnicksIn5 #NYKnicks

I wouldn’t be where I am today without the love and support that Michelle has poured into me over the years. Her story — from her South Side roots to the White House and beyond — is a central part of the Obama Presidential Center.

NEWS: U.S. inflation rose to 4.2% year-over-year in May, the highest level in three years and up sharply from 2.4% in February before the Iran war. Core inflation, which excludes food and energy, rose to 2.9%, its highest level since September.

There is no word in the English language to adequately describe the anger and frustration and disbelief that Americans are feeling….

The national inflation rate has shot up from 2.4 to 3.8 over the first four months of the year, so no, that doesn't seem to be "a deep, downward dive"

It’s no big surprise that Trump’s DOJ is deleting all of the January 6th press releases from its website. Here’s the thing: I downloaded all of them in Feb. 2025 (that’s right, more than a year ago) suspecting that they’d do just that. And we’re working to post them all online, as are others.

NEWS: Gov. Abigail Spanberger signed a law requiring Virginia education officials to review how January 6 is taught in schools—pushing back against efforts to rewrite history and whitewash the attack on our democracy. Read more:

Today, we pause to remember the Americans who laid down their lives in service to our nation. May we always honor their legacy and support the loved ones they left behind.

We're proud to stand with our veterans, service members, military families, caregivers, and Gold Star families today. Thank you to the Department of Veterans and Military Families for your commitment to supporting those who served and living up to a simple promise: Leave no one behind.

On Memorial Day, we pay tribute to the brave men and women in uniform who gave their lives for this country that we love. It is a debt we can never fully repay, but we must never stop trying.

Skipping your son’s wedding to attend a staged assassination, attempt certainly is a choice.

The lawsuit was filed by a former Capitol Police officer and a Metropolitan Police Department officer, both of whom defended against the Jan. 6 riots and later testified to Congress.

Working families are struggling to afford groceries, gas, rent, and healthcare — taxpayers should not be forced to bankroll political revenge tours and payouts for Donald Trump and his cronies.

Trump’s priorities are anything but the American people. This guy doesn’t care about working people struggling to get by, he just made that even clearer.
