Trump’s “Loyalty Oath” would let him and his unqualified bureaucrats run our colleges and universities. We must demand that our schools reject the regime’s blackmail attempts by committing to uphold freedom of speech and provide an affordable, safe education for all. 👇

Have you called your Republican reps to ask them to negotiate for healthcare and reopen the government they are supposed to run?

If you are concerned about the horrors of this Administration and don’t already follow @indivisible.org, please do. They provide a unifying voice for action. In addition to this, they are asking us to contact Republican lawmakers to hold them accountable.

While Republicans play political games to prolong their Trump Shutdown, Democrats will be in DC to do their jobs and try to get the government back to work.

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth invited the entire military leadership of the U.S. to Quantico to demand treason.

They called our citizens “the enemy within” and promised to use American cities as “training grounds for warfare.”

This is how republics die.

JD Vance said yesterday the Dallas ICE facility shooter was a “violent left-wing extremist.” No evidence backs that up. But then I remembered Vance admitted in 2024 that to help the GOP: "If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention...that's what I'm going to do."

New Gallup poll finds ONLY 29% now satisfied with nation’s direction-the lowest since January. And new Quinnipiac poll finds Trump with pathetic 38% approval rating. BUT corporate media will ignore these polls and continue to cover Trump like he is not the FAILURE that he is!

Trump is scrambling to consolidate power before his own unpopularity takes him down. Our job is to build a big, bold, joyful opposition strong enough to stop him. Join us on Oct.18 for No Kings 2: www.nokings.org/?SQF...

Disney paid $16 million to Trump to settle a bogus lawsuit involving George Stephanopoulos.

Disney fired Terry Moran for calling Stephen Miller a “world-class hater.”

Disney suspended Jimmy Kimmel.

That Disney has walked back one of those after immense public pressure doesn't change who they are.

Kimmel is returning, and there are two important lessons.
1)Group effort makes a difference.
2)Economic pressure works.
Now is not the time to relax.

To those who cancelled their Disney related subscriptions. Since Trump defunded PBS, it would help them quite a bit if you took the same money you used to send to Disney and instead, sent it to PBS/NPR.
