This sign 💪💪

We need more people speaking out.

You have friends and family members who trust you.

Don’t get tired, discouraged and definitely don’t be intimidated.

In the last year, the NYPD has ‘swept’ 3,500 unhoused people across 2,300 encampments.

A total of 114 have moved into *temporary* shelter

And the program has cost NYC taxpayers $3.5 million during this time

Trump looks like such a big boy destroying the Department of Education.

No plans on how to teach kids to read better or anything else, just take money from this so we can give more tax breaks to billionaires.

BREAKING: A federal judge in Maryland has just barred DOGE from accessing Social Security, saying the group is on a "fishing expedition" that jeopardizes people's personal data.

Closing the Department of Education will not help any students.

The rich want to destroy our public schools so they can control and profit off private schools. Another move that will let the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

What a great day! Happy Friday Eve, goodbye winter, happy Spring and MARCH MADNESS 🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀

Donald Trump has been talking about shutting down the Department of Education since his 2016 campaign and Republican politicians have been talking about it since the 80s

I haven't heard one state's plan to do anything different if they get the money directly. Not one. have you?

Brad Bo @bradbo.bsky.social · Mar 20

We are not ok, but we're not giving up either.

Great sign. Huge thanks to everyone out in the streets protesting and everyone speaking out against this horrible White House and their billionaire donors who are really running the country.

Arlington National Cemetery just erased DEI from its website—because Republicans threw a tantrum over honoring ALL who served.

The same GOP that cuts Veteran healthcare now decides who’s worthy of remembrance.

This isn’t patriotism. It’s whitewashing history.

I have never advocated for a government shutdown, until now.

It's time for the Democrats to go scorched earth, just like Republicans do. No more cooperation or compromise.

Why do we, the most powerful nation on Earth, act like the most weak and shortsighted?

A tweet from Krystal Ball (@krystalball) discussing Mexico's initiative to provide free glasses, dental assistance, and metabolic management for elementary school children, contrasting it with U.S. government actions to cut funding for local school food programs and plans to eliminate the Department of Education. The tweet includes a post from Samuel (@resisres), featuring a photo of Mexican schoolchildren wearing glasses, with an inset image of Mexico's president announcing the initiative.

KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN.

☎️: (202) 224-3121

Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid.

The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING.

Call retiring Senators too!

Hey @schumer.senate.gov when Donald Trump is praising you that isn't a good thing, it means you fucked up royally. You folded like a cheap suit, and now he is openly mocking you. You still have time to stand on the right side of history. Hold The Damn Line, Do Not Obey In Advance.

Donald Trump praising Chuck Schumer for helping get the CR over the finish line.

Brad Bo @bradbo.bsky.social · Mar 14

The Senate is scheduled to vote on this today! Please call your Senators and tell them to vote NO

Especially if you live in Pennsylvania or New York.
