We can displace and shame the haters by simply showing up. Fill our public spaces with those who love diversity, decency and democracy,

In all the chaos, I would urge folks to remember that a lot of folks now don’t know when their next check will come.

The vast majority are good people who love this nation deeply, and many of them are still working despite not knowing when they’ll be paid

Have compassion.

If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations.

If you're 45, that number is 74.7%.

If you're under 28, the number is 100%.

Happy Labor Day.

It's time to GET LOUD, DC. The people who oppress our communities are not welcome in our communities.

No matter where you are tonight, bring noisemakers, pots and pans, GoGo on the stereo, whistles, chants, or any other way to MAKE NOISE so Trump hears we want FEDERAL FORCES OUT NOW — FREE DC.

Hey look. It’s the worst economy since the last time Trump was in office.

Probably just a coincidence

A contender for the most “Show me your budget and I’ll tell you who you are” bills in modern history.

An act of breathtaking moral monstrosity and nearly unprecedented self-sabotage for the country.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd.
It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Graphs showing 25 years of budgets for the National Institute of Health, NASA, and the NSF. In all cases, the proposed budget for next year is far, far below any year of the previous quarter century.

As Trump defies courts, ignores the Constitution and punishes dissenters, all while he and his friends get even richer, June 14 needs to be our biggest and most widespread day of protest yet. There are over 700 events planned for No Kings Day. Please join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Yes, veterinarians experience disproportionately high suicide rates compared to the general population and even other healthcare professionals. 🧵
