Democrats and Independents, if you don’t show up for your candidate, you’re helping their opponent.

We don’t want Tuesday’s story to be, “They were polling far ahead but lost because their most enthusiastic voters didn’t get their ballots in.”

We’ve seen this play out before.

Dodgers, don’t go to the White House.

He’ll steal your trophy and your medals, then offer you cold McDonald’s burgers like he’s doing you a big favor.
Dodgers should decline the invite to the White House. After what the f*cker has done to California. Maybe Gavin Newsom should invite them to the governors mansion instead. 😡
This isn’t a call-out—it’s a call to action.

To the person who said Protests don’t work

The Vietnam War was ended because in large part due to the Protests

Civil Rights for Blacks was also won by Protests

Don’t believe misinformation and block accounts that post it

California, the whole world is counting on you. Seriously. Democracy in this country – – and therefore the world – – is at stake. Please watch through the end and please share.

Just so we’re clear…

SNAP isn’t saved yet. A judge gave the USDA until Monday to decide how or if benefits go out. They could be delayed, reduced, or partial. Nothing’s guaranteed.

Even if payments restart, states still have to reload cards and update systems, so delays are certain.

Still awaiting my George $oros payment for showing up at #NoKINGS_Day & staying until noon.

Somebody slipped this 20 under my door, but something about it seems fake.
Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino—the architect of Trump’s brutal immigration raids in Chicago—was hauled into federal court Tuesday as protesters roared “LOCK HIM UP!”
Thank you America!
Attacking rights. Spreading hate. Profiting from fear.

Authoritarianism wins only if we let them bully us into silence.

They don’t get the last word. We do.

Not Anti-fascist either.

If you're represented by a Republican, tell them it's time for Mike Johnson to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva. No more excuses or delays. app.sosha.ai/s/hmb73HCW

I'd take issue with Karoline Leavitt's portrayal of her boss' priorities

We know THESE are Trump's Top 3 priorities in this order:

1) Epstein Cover Up
2) Weaponzing DOJ to attack his perceived enemies
3) Trump Epstein Ballroom
The only real defense against armed raids is a united, organized community. When neighbors stay connected and alert, they can protect one another. ICE is growing—so must our courage. No one knows your neighborhood better than you.

«…at the same time the Department of Agriculture says it cannot spend its $6 billion in reserves to address the $8 billion needed for SNAP in November, the administration easily found $20 billion to prop up right-wing Trump ally Javier Milei in Argentina.

What are we doing here?»

What, indeed…
In Middletown, NY, residents are rising up as ICE agents stalk worksites, profiling people by skin tone & detaining those who followed every legal step. This is state terror—raids without warrants, fear as policy.
Communities everywhere are rejecting cages, walls, & checkpoints.

I am not kidding when I say that every Democratic elected official should exclusively refer to the Epstein Ballroom as the Epstein Ballroom.
Welcome to Farmageddon, where our president puts Argentina's interests over American farmers and cattle ranchers.
What happened to America first?
Former special counsel Jack Smith is asking to testify in an open hearing.
Let the truth come out, the American people deserve transparency — and we have a right to know if Trump incited or led an insurrection against our own country.
President Obama isn’t mincing words: Trump’s crew is rigging the rules to dodge the people’s judgment. Prop 50 is California’s line in the sand—a fight for fair maps, fair votes, and real democracy.

The nation’s watching. Let’s draw the line. ✊
