Would add. At your tepective rallies. If you see someone trying to instigate violence, call them out and shut it down. The orange wants violence, let’s give them humor. Humor disarms them.

So now Texas is sending troops to Austin and other cities on no Kings day.

Be kind, they are our military and they would probably be marching with us. So if this done in your state, remember they are our neighbors called out by the gov.

BE NICE.

Exactly. They run everything. If it all goes to shit, it’s their leadership.

I grew up in a town that was 80% Jewish. I thought Christian’s were a minority in the US. Gave me a weird perspective on the world but one with built in empathy and a taste for matzo ball soup.

The premium increases on ACA are nuts. Does insurance really cost 2k/month? Or did the companies fleece the government with a cost to make a big profit and can’t let go of that profit? If we had a functioning government thy might look into how much of a scam insurance is.

AOC: You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to keep people from getting poisoned, from dangerous chemicals

You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to bring down the cost of housing

If they want to say that that's a Democratic priority, they're right,
