Very last minute urgent action! Must happen by late afternoon tomorrow! Please call your House rep at 202-224-3121 and ask them to co-sponsor and support Rep. Tlaib’s Lebanon War Powers Resolution! Say: (see first comment)

With the appointment of Bill Pulte Donald Trump just put us all in danger. An upcoming FISA vote could make it worse.

NYC! Save the world from Palantir and Open AI! Tell everyone you know in NY-12 to vote for Alex Bores. Big Tech is trying to buy an election in NYC so they can stop an AI-regulating champion from winning his primary. Early voting starts on 6/14, and E-Day is June 23rd! Spread the word!

Trump is doing to the National Mall what he’s doing to our country. And as usual, we’re paying for it.

For Trump, America 250 isn’t about America. It’s about him. And now that it’s hitting the skids the fact that we’ve survived for 250 years as a democracy will get no recognition at all. Donald Trump and his ego destroy everything they touch.

Here’s who I voted for in the California governors race, and why. By the way, if you want a link to the Progressive Voter guide I used to vote the rest of my ballot you can find it in my link tree or below in first comment

Hey LA, here’s something you need to know about Spencer Pratt. His campaign just hired one of the most conservative law firms in the country to represent it. One of the partners is the same woman who argued before SCOTUS to reverse abortion rights. These are MAGAs and Pratt is allied with them.

@govsherrill.bsky.social I interviewed you in 2025 and you said you were the candidate to pick in the New Jersey primaries BECAUSE YOU WOULD PROTECT NEW JERSEY RESIDENTS FROM GOVERNMENT ABUSE. Now you’re betraying peaceful activists who are fighting for human rights.

Fox News host warns that because of Trump’s war food prices should start going up “around the end of the summer.” AS IF THEY’RE NOT ALREADY THROUGH THE ROOF! 🤯 What a disaster this administration is. And Republicans do *nothing* to stop it.

This cellist played through the whole evening at Delaney Hall in New Jersey on 5/28. He didn’t stop even when chaos broke out due to State Police. He was eventually arrested. Credit: Carrie Hittel

New Jersey resident @kennydrams, who’d just left the insane Delaney protest last night, describes State Troopers plowing their horses over protestors, assaulting them. ICE agents, too. These were entirely peaceful protests. Share this please!

Santiago Campos is a young journalist who won a scholarship from @cbsnews.com and used his acceptance speech this week to remind them what a free press is supposed to be about. THAT’S WHAT COURAGE LOOKS LIKE! 👏👏

Per new reporting from @axios.com: 1.7 million kids fell off Medicaid in the first year after Trump took office. But don’t worry, folks. There’s plenty of money for J6 criminal slush funds. Shameful.

Trump’s arch is a monument to Republican cowardice. Because even GOP reps like Rob Wittman, with constituents who have the most to lose from this monstrosity, won’t say a word to stop it. Shameful.

James Talarico may be a nice Christian boy, but he can flame a corrupt politician with the best of them. Of course, Ken Paxton makes it easy. Still. Should be a fun five months. Texas, you deserve a Senator who doesn’t free child r*pists!

Donald Trump is building a 90-foot, 60 million dollar, 5000 seat “claw” right next to the White House for his UFC cage match on June 14. This is the match meant to celebrate his 80th birthday. And the worst thing about it is having the entire world watch our humiliation.

Benjamin Netanyahu violates the ceasefire agreement and Trump’s peace plan by ordering more ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Make a call. Call your HOUSE Rep & your two US Senators 202-224-3121

*Audio fixed* Hey Los Angeles RED ALERT! We have got to vote for Nithya Raman in massive numbers! It’s the only way to stop the jawdroppingly incompetent (and extreme) Spencer Pratt! Please don’t make me spend the next five months freaking out about Los Angeles!

New York City saw some ugliness last night. It’s up to those of us who stand for love, tolerance, and inclusivity to denounce it. Hate has no place at Gracie Mansion, in NYC, or in the US. Period.

Texas Republicans and the RNC are feverishly taking down all of their Ken Paxton attack ads. Fortunately we’ve got receipts. 🤠

Ken Paxton just won his primary in Texas. Trump is celebrating now, but this may backfire big-time.

Did you know there’s a hunger strike at Desert View Annex, an ICE detention center across the way from Adelanto in SoCal? Please take some actions to fix this before someone passes away! And share this video widely! Also GEO Group shame on you. (See first comment for doc.)

It’s time we talk about DNC chair. Because DNC we TRIED TO TELL YOU THAT BEN WIKLER WAS THE ONLY CHOICE. You didn’t listen. Just like the Democratic leadership doesn’t listen. And now here we are. And NOTHING WILL CHANGE until you actually start listening to the people who put & keep you in office.

Let’s take a moment to acknowledge the courage, brilliance, and kindness that made us love Stephen Colbert so much.

ICYMI: 8 Democratic lawmakers just voted with all Republicans to pass a bill that would deeply harm trans kids. Stand with the trans community and make some noise!

Rep. McGovern hits the nail on the head again: it took YEARS to get 9/11 victims compensated. But Trump easily found a way to give a bunch of convicted criminals & conmen our hard-earned 💰. This slush fund is a slap in the face to every law-abiding, tax paying citizen. Of course Trump is neither.

An important update on redistricting, our fight to protect Black (and all) votes, and where the mass movement called All Roads Leads to the South goes next! Follow Black Voters Matter and 3point5.org to keep apprised!

Wowowow. Greenland demonstrators chanting “Go home, USA” outside the US consulate today. Trump has united the world…against us.

Wow, absolute chaos just broke out in the House as Republicans refused to bring another war Powers resolution up for a vote. Mike Johnson has adjourned everyone and sent them home for the holidays. This is wild. Republicans are imploding. Nice work pissing them off Rep. McGovern!

Do you support this corruption? 🤔 Follow @sander_jennings and @Jesscraven101 for weekly Facts Over Fear.

Call all three of your reps and tell them hell no on Trump’s theft of taxpayer dollars to give to career criminals. Call your HOUSE Rep & your two US Senators 202-224-3121

Breaking: The New York Times just reported that well over 100k children have been separated from their parents since Trump’s second term began, and a majority of them are American citizens. We are torturing them. Please. Call your reps and tell them NO MORE MONEY FOR ICE! 5 calls has a script

The NY Times reported on a new Brookings Institute report showing that well over 100k children have been separated from their parents since Trump’s 2nd term began. A majority of them are US citizens. Call your reps and tell them NO MORE MONEY FOR ICE! @5calls.org has a script.

Please make a quick call (TIME SENSITIVE) to stop Flock from surveilling Americans!! Script in first comment.

Trump supporters just proved that they don’t care about Epstein’s victims at all. And they never have. What a pathetic bunch.

Republicans just voted down a simple bill that would have stopped Trump’s “sleazeball slush fund” from going to J6 cop beaters. But “blue lives matter?” Really?

Heads up CA! there's a progressive candidate who supports Medicare for all, abolishing Ice, and ceasing weapons sales to Israel in CA-22. Please help get the word out and help Randy Villegas win!

Trump is breaking morality. His 1.8 billion dollar corruption fund is only the latest—if the most egregious—example. Our children are watching.

Trump’s 1.7B slush fund for J6’ers is a shocking scandal. What that money could have funded instead is every bit as important.

This morning, Mayor Mamdani announced the opening of the first city-run grocery store in Hunts Point, New York. That alone is huge. But it’s the way the Mayor announced it that said so much about the huge philosophical differences between him and Republicans. I know which side I pick.

America: Gas prices are killing us! Trump: But the stock market. Womp womp.

Breaking: a new Public Citizen report just dropped: For-profit detention companies like GEO Group & Core Civic are paying ICE detainees $1 a day to cook, clean, and run their facilities — then threatening solitary if they refuse. Meanwhile, GEO Group's profits jumped from $32M to $254M in 1 year.

Checking in with Trump supporters after a banner day on the world stage. 🙄

Listening to these Trump voters wake up and realize how badly they’ve been scammed is mostly enraging, but a tiny bit entertaining as well… but in the end, mostly enraging again.

HUGE breaking news about sexual misconduct at ICE and CBP, and the investigative report that just forced CBP head Michael Banks to resign. 👏👏

Turns out that Americans get really, really, REALLY excited about good government, taxing the rich, and balanced budgets. Who’da thunk it?

Rep. Huffman: Who is the arch being built for? Burgum: Well, for the American people Rep. Huffman: We're going to build one just a little taller than the one in Pyongyang. Donald Trump was asked this question, and he said this arch is for him.

Want to fight back against the Republicans trying to take away our votes? SEND THIS VIDEO TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW IN GEORGIA!! 🔥🔥🍑🍑 And if you live in GA for God’s sake vote on 5/19 (or in early vote until the 15th) as if your freedom depended on it. It may. Info in links in first comment below.

CNN has new polling numbers out on Trump and the economy and they are genuinely catastrophic for the Republican Party. I don’t care how skewed they try to make their maps. They are losing big in November. And they deserve to.

I translate Mike Johnson as he bulllsh*ts the American people once again. 🙄

Burgum: When the sun goes down, solar panels produce zero electricity. The whole machine doesn't work. Rep. Huffman: I request to enter into the record this amazing new technology that apparently the Secretary is unaware of. It's a battery. 😂

Every American has a dog in the redistricting fight. If you think otherwise? You’re about to lose your rights.

Mayor Mamdani just did the impossible. He closed NYC’s 12B budget deficit without cutting any services or raising property taxes on working New Yorkers. How did he do it? Efficiency, cooperation with Albany, and TAXING THE RICH! 🤑 👏

Dr. Oz says we’re “underbabied.” What we actually are? Underwater.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy spent seven months filming a road trip reality show while on the job. The sponsors? Boeing, Shell, Toyota, United Airlines, and Royal Caribbean — companies he oversees and regulates. More corruption from the most corrupt administration in American history.

BOMBSHELL! Trump admin cut Andean hantavirus research last year. Then his admin fired the CDC’s cruise ship outbreak team. Now there’s a deadly hantavirus outbreak on a cruise ship with Americans exposed. Trump says it “should be fine.” Thats not a strategy. He is making us less safe.

Here’s an easy way to pull yourself out of the gloom: do something nice for a mom incarcerated at Dilley detention center this Mother’s Day. It’s just an online form. It takes a couple of minutes and it’ll mean the world to these families. Link in first comment below.

The hypocrisy is just…🤯. MS NOW airs compilation of Republicans reacting to gas prices under Biden vs. higher prices under Trump.

Reporter: How much more is my summer vacation going to cost? I don't have great news for you. For a family, it's going to be about $4,000 this year. That's a lot of money. It's so much money that almost half of people said, 'Forget the whole thing. I'm just going to stay at home.'

Yes, the ruling in Virginia is devastating, unfair, and outrageous. But does it mean we’re not going to win the house in November? Only if we decide it does. We must not do that.

The purported suicide note from Jeffrey Epstein sounds an awful lot like someone we know…if Trump dictated a fake one you have to admit it would sound JUST LIKE THIS.

The Tennessee legislature just passed new congressional maps that will likely eliminate the one Black seat in the state. It’s enraging. But to quote Rep. Pearson, "We’ve got to do something.“ Sign up to be a poll worker at Powerthepolls.org. Don’t let Jim Crow win.

Republicans are killing people—literally & figuratively—with their refusal to extent the ACA premium tax credits. Premiums are up 58% on average & middle aged people are getting hit the hardest. 5M people have already fallen off of the ACA completely. And the Medicaid cuts haven’t even hit yet.

Are we at war or aren’t we? Either way this administration is getting away with some seriously duplicitous stuff. Demand better

The Hanta virus is scary. But a government stripped of all expertise and cut to the very bones? Thats downright terrifying.

One small town mayor decided to stand up to Border Czar—and all around fascist—Tom Homan. You love to see it!

Unbelievable. Republicans are already working on a third reconciliation bill. It would give massive sums to the Pentagon and give rich people and corporations more tax cuts…to pay for it they would cut what’s left of our healthcare funding. Make a ton of noise NOW Please folks.

ICYMI Rep Jared Huffman (D-CA) ripped into Republicans on the Natural Resources Committee last week for acting as if everything is normal in the face of Trump’s madness. MORE LIKE THIS PLEASE!! 👏👏

Miss Rachel posted a list of the Dem members of Congress who have spoken out about Dilley Detention Center. It is disappointingly short. I don’t expect Repubs to do anything to help children, ever. But Democrats are supposed to be better.

The FBI diverted nearly 1 in 4 employees to do ICE's job. Then we went to war with Iran with a depleted counterterrorism force. Congress already gave ICE $140 billion last year — now they want $140 billion more. You are less safe. Great reporting by @theintercept.com. Link in first comment.

If you’re angry about the Met Gala last night you can channel that anger into your purchasing choices. It matters. Withhold your money from Amazon, Home Depot, Starbucks, ChatGPT, Paramount+, Hilton, Target, DoorDash—I could go on. Remember your purchases matter. Use them strategically!

It’s Met Gala day! Let me show you my favorite look!

Last week SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act. This week “Jim Crow” redistricting sessions are already in the works. We have a strategy to fight back. @statesprojectus.bsky.social report is below. It’s not long please read, share and donate if you can!

I read Rebecca Solnit’s “The Beginning Comes After the End” and it is THE book for this moment. It’s given me renewed energy for this fight and reminded me of how far we’ve already come. And if you’re in the Los Angeles area, consider coming to the writers Bloc event tomorrow, Sunday, May 3!

Congressional Republicans let Obamacare subsidies expire. Now millions are losing coverage — and the Trump admin is calling it a success. Here’s what’s actually happening.

A federal circuit court of appeals has just blocked the mailing of mifepristone, one of the two pills used in medication ab*rtion. This will absolutely harm access to reproductive care in this country.

Some footage from the May Day protest downtown—so powerful! The workers of this country are ready to SHUT IT DOWN! 👊

Massive May Day march in Downtown LA right now! The energy is off the charts!

David Huerta, president of SEIU, was detained by ICE for several days last year. Today he’s at a May Day protest in Downtown LA fighting for workers! THAT’S courage! #mayday

The billionaires are trying to buy off NY Gov Kathy Hochul and there’s a real fear she may side with them instead of working New Yorkers. Please send this video to anyone you know in New York and ask them to call NOW! She’ll be making a decision in the next 48 hours. Script in first comment.

Yesterday the House passed a three year clean extension of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and FORTY TWO DEMOCRATS VOTED FOR IT. I need you to call them and give them hell, please.

A few words on hope, and devastation, from the inestimable Vaclav Havel.

With everything going on right now, it’s more important than ever that we commit to participating in Friday’s May Day events if we possibly can. Which means NOT participating. IN ANYTHING. Because without us they’re nothing. Find out what’s happening near you at Maydaystrong.org

Breaking: The Supreme Court just gutted the Voting Rights Act. Louisiana is 33% Black but will now only have ONE Black congressional district out of six. That’s 17% representation for 33% of the population. This isn’t about fair elections. This is about silencing Black voters.

The Supreme Court just issued their decision in the Callais case and, as we feared, they have ended the voting rights act as we know it. It’s a devastating day – – especially if you are a Black or Brown American. Here’s what happened, and what’s next.
