House Republicans aren’t even in DC as the Trump Shutdown wreaks havoc on everyday people. We’re pushing vulnerable GOP representatives to call for a bipartisan deal to save healthcare. If your Member of Congress is a Republican, demand that they get back to work: act.indivisible.org/sign/funding...

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

Basically, ICE is waging chemical warfare against fellow citizens.

Another good time to remind people that “tear gas” is a term of copaganda that police, the military, and its manufacturers use to obscure that it is a dangerous chemical weapon internationally banned for use even in warfare.

California voters, are you paying attention?

North Carolina Republicans are redrawing the map to hand Trump another seat. They’re bragging about locking down Congress for him.

If you were loud for Jimmy Kimmel, crank it up for Leticia James. Authoritarian bullies count on silence to get away with it; make some noise and have her back!

YouTube may think you are a bot, so you may need to go directly to YouTube to see this.
But this commentary is well worth it.
