Let’s start a trend. Wear Polka Dots and stand against ice peacefully. She’s famous around the world but our press isn’t sharing much with us. #pinks #truthtopower #courage #polkadotpower

Woman in polka dot dress in NYC is famous in countries across the world but not here in U.S. for speaking truth to power during ICE raids earlier this week.

Trump wants money for the investigation into his campaign’s connections with #Russianinterference in the 2016 election.
What losses, exactly, did he suffer? He faced no criminal charges, no civil lawsuits, no monetary penalties, and no financial losses.
He’s SAD 😭 so we, the #taxpayers, owe him.

King Trump turns US Treasury into his personal piggy bank

He thinks our money is his.

What can we do to stop him? 1st don’t worry about 2026/28 elections, yet. Focus on the Nov 2025 elections where there will be 52k races nationwide & turn out is key. 2nd, vote for pro democracy candidates that will shape the 2026/28 elections! Key elections are in CA, ME, NJ, PA & VA! #Elections2025

Not enough votes in Congress to impeach/remove.

No will in the Cabinet to invoke the 25th.

For the sake of the country, we need to make him as irrelevant as possible.

If you are approached by federal agents: invoke your5th Amendment right to remain silent, and your 6th Amendment right to counsel, by saying “I cannot answer any questions without my lawyer."

If you are approached by federal law enforcement call the Federal Defense Hotline 212-679-2811

Another reminder why Democrats are holding the line. Aside from cuts in healthcare, SNAP benefits will end as early as November.

Hey MAGA: Trump did this.

You voted to lose your SNAP.

The 'Big Beautiful Bill' slashes food stamps. One map shows how much red states depend on them.

Over 40 million Americans rely on SNAP. Trump's new legislation will cut nearly $200 billion from federal nutrition programs over the next decade.

I think the destruction of the White House East Wing resonates because it is so viscerally permanent.

But the ongoing destruction of Constitutional order and international law is no less permanent.

There is no repair. We must build anew.

I grew up with kids fed by SNAP. In 4th grade, I stayed with a friend...woke up to snow covering our blanket, blown in through cracks in the wall. That’s what poverty looks like. And now Trump’s people want to cut that lifeline. Fuck Trump and every suit who thinks that’s leadership.
