My local Indivisible group is calling for flags for #NoKings it's probably a good move, but MAGA spent so many years defecating on it that it feels tainted.

We need to reclaim our colors.

This Saturday
BRING FLAGS
LOTS OF FLAGS
OUR COUNTRY - OUR FLAG

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.

Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million.

Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals.

Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.

Robots are pretty quickly becoming more capable and affordable. If you think this won't impact the labor market, you're engaging in cope, and if you don't think we should all benefit from robot labor via universal basic income as a fair GDP dividend, you're helping billionaires become trillionaires.

hi, Portland here. this is (obviously) untrue. normally this kind of thing would just be a lol grampa kinda thing, but he's doing this so he can invoke the Insurrection Act & declare martial law.
it's important that we refute this narrative loudly and broadly, so even his supporters know the truth.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 4d

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

Fewer than 1 in 10 of our Congressional races are considered competitive - in a country that's politically more or less 50-50.

This is madness. And it doesn't have to be this way.

California is about to 100% replace coal from our state's energy supply.

The 30,000+ megawatts in new clean energy and storage we've added since 2019 is now powering about half of our peak electricity demand.

While Trump bets on the past, California is shaping the future.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.

The CBS takeover by Larry Ellison and Bari Weiss is the most foreboding move in a while, and I’m not saying that lightly.

It will have an effect on the 2026 elections: CBS will now lie to people and normies will believe it.

Trump and Miller *desperately need* a violent response in order to justify escalation.

Don't give it to them. Stay peaceful (and self-police) — continue to show the rest of America the *absurdity* of Trump's claims.
