"To be called 'woke' in a world that sleeps through suffering is no insult - it is the Gospel. Woke means awakened by compassion.
Guided by truth. Humbled by grace. Committed to justice - not just for some, but for all."

NO. It's fundamentally inappropriate for the @dscc.bsky.social to form a fundraising committee with Janet Mills. What happened to staying OUT of the primaries?

Thank you Senator Murphy. All it will take is a few women and men to stand tall and be courageous. Because if they do not, no one wins but the king and his jesters.

8/ But Trump doesn't want to end the shutdown. Because he thinks he's a king and he doesn't believe the law applies to him. He thinks he has extra powers in a shutdown. He doesn't.

But the longer Republicans boycott talks, the more the shutdown will hurt. So it's their move.

We have a young choir from a local high school who has sent out a request so they can rehearse what songs we should sing, ‘this is my land this is your land’, America, the beautiful’ etc.…we’ll take your advice and bring a few flags, singing American songs, waving flags= NO I hate America statement!

The only thing I am worried about is We The People not meeting the moment. Cause it is worse. It will be worse. It was worse.

George Floyd should still be here to celebrate his 52nd birthday. His life sparked a movement, and our fight for justice, accountability, and humanity continues. We’ll never stop saying his name.

Tish James lit up the room last night — and her words echoed far beyond the walls of The United Palace. This is a fight for the future.

BREAKING: Los Angeles County has just declared a STATE OF EMERGENCY over the federal ICE raids.

Only in Trump’s America does a county have to declare an emergency because of what the federal government is doing.

I like to remind people about lifetime limits and the refusal of insurers to sell coverage to people with preexisting conditions.

The ACA has issues. But those 2 things alone make it worth saving and fixing.

MAGA is big mad because the majority around the world refuses to give the Cankled Commander in Chief praise for a "peace deal" that doesn't exist in Israel and Palestine, and we all know he has been played and will get played by Israel and Netanyahu.

Also, release the Epstein Files.

There are about 280 million people in #USA who did NOT vote for #trump, only about 77 mil who did

And that doesn't include the available people worldwide who will hold #NoKings marches of their own
