President-elect Catherine Connolly: “I will be a president who listens and who reflects and who speaks when it’s necessary, and a voice for peace, a voice that builds on our policy of neutrality, a voice that articulates the existential threat posed by climate change.”

Mass civil resistance. Chicago knows how to do it. They're teaching Portland. And beyond. New resistance strategies emerge organically. So be open to new ideas. Be adaptive. Build a whistle brigade. Here's how:

You need to hear what Chicago is doing to fight back against ICE. And then copy it.

This petulant moron destroyed part of the White House last week, all because he was mad we protested against him.

Now he refuses to speak to our neighbour bc they called him out. (Remember he was a democrat when Reagan was in ofc)

He is a danger to us all. So is his court of maniacal jesters.

BREAKING: According to new data from the Wisconsin OCI, if Republicans fail to extend enhanced Affordable Care Act tax credits, Wisconsinites are going to pay hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands more dollars a year for their healthcare coverage.

This is really bad, folks.

"If Affordable Care Act Tax Credits go away, a family of four making $130,000 a year on silver plan will pay more for healthcare" with a map of annual increases across the state

"If Affordable Care Act Tax Credits go away, a 60-year-old couple making $85,658 a year on silver plan will pay more for healthcare" with a map of annual increases across the state

"If Affordable Care Act Tax Credits go away, a 60-year-old making $63,383 a year on silver plan will pay more for healthcare" with a map of annual increases across the state

At a time when families and seniors are struggling to make ends meet, we should be working to make healthcare more affordable and accessible.

Instead, Republicans are going to force many Wisconsinites to pay thousands more for healthcare coverage or go without. It defies logic.

Make it make sense. Trump bailed out Argentina for $40B dollars, yet he’s now throwing MD under the bus?

Trump administration denies FEMA aid for Western Maryland floods.

The denial cannot be appealed again, leaving several small towns on their own to address more than $33.7 million in damage.

The Trump regime could tap into a $5 billion contingency fund to ensure people continue to be fed through SNAP.

They are refusing.

Republicans know the pain they’re causing to Americans—they do not care. The cruelty is the point.

Trump administration won't tap contingency fund to keep food aid flowing, memo says

The Trump administration says it won't use a roughly $5 billion contingency fund to keep food aid flowing in November amid the government shutdown.

Contest every race. Have a candidate in every race on every ballot in every county in every state.

Run even if you know you can’t win. Run because you know you can’t win.

No seat uncontested. Bring the fight to every ballot.

This isn’t a game. Some middle class families in Connecticut are going to get a $25,000 increase in health care premiums in a week. Democrats shouldn’t support a budget that does that to people - just as a means to pay for a giant tax cut for billionaires and corporations.

Any media person who blames "our divisive politics" for the current shutdown is doing a favor for the Republicans who refuse to negotiate with Democrats to end it.
