There are plenty of people smarter than me. I’ll still always believe that history’s watching & fighting for Equal Rights, Human Rights, Civil Rights & Equality for All’s the Right Side to be on! We must fight for 250 yrs of civil rights.We Must Fight on! youtu.be/F5eR1lJ4SAs?... go.bsky.app/8bRKg9R

Trump’s Little Johnson (R-LA) says the Pentagon is demanding $350 billion to “fight Communism on our own shores.” Welcome to McCarthyism and the Red Scare 2.0 Stop weaponizing our military against us and #FundHealthcareNotWars you sycophantic bootlicker.

Speaker Johnson frames reconciliation as debt reduction. It cuts taxes for the wealthy and slashes healthcare for everyone else. That's not debt reduction. That's redistribution. #FundHealthcareNotWars

If you're "writing" and submitting "A.i." generated trash to literary publications, you are bad and you should change everything about how you interact with the world.

American citizen, Andrea Valez was slammed to the ground by ICE agents and arrested. She was just on her way to work. If it can happen to her, it can happen to you. Speak up. Share her story widely. Call Congress and demand accountability for #ICELawlessness at 202-224-3121.

We are at war again! Our enemy this time is apparently algae… Check out these signs placed around DC this weekend. 🤪

There are real people suffering real consequences under Donald Trump’s reign of terror and errors hurting the American people. Trump’s heartless cuts to healthcare and exploding cost of living have created a crisis for many families. For those that can, please help those in need. 🙏🏼❤️

"This summer, the average family will spend nearly $800 just to keep their home cool…up 10.5% since last summer.” https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/jun/18/heat-air-conditioning-costs

Americans are spending $800 just to cool their homes. We are at a breaking point | Mark Wolfe

While the stock market booms for the rich, cost of living is soaring for everyone else

Democrats stood behind affordable housing. Trump blew it up for his pay to Vote SAVE Act scam that he currently doesn’t have the votes for. This is Exhibit A of his contempt for working families struggling with the high cost of living in America today. #TrumpsHousingCrisis

Something Trump and Republicans can’t say with a straight face about the war or anything else… “It's clear that House and Senate Democrats are on the side of the American people.” ~ Hakeem Jeffries

It won’t just ruin the paint job. It’s going to have to be emptied again to strip the paint off because it’ll start clogging the drains and polluting the water even more. He just created a little environmental disaster.

Not believing in science really comes back to bite you, doesn’t it?

Meanwhile at the White Trash White House last night the main event wasn’t even in the ring. Fights were breaking out on the lawn everywhere under the light of fireworks. Not since the White House burned down in 1814 have we seen so many battles. Sign! 🤡

Someone asked a bunch of kids what the first thing was that cane to mind when they thought about Trump. Their answers are priceless. Check out the video.

Distrust in institutions is now at an all time high & California is in trouble: We either have a race with two MAGA, a race with a billionaire & demoralised voters, or a race with a candidate that MANY powerful orgs endorsed against. & the party refuses the Catharsis needed to heal and build trust.

My weird take is, authenticity is difficult because society is so obtuse between someone saying something dumb or insensitive, and people using full on slurs regularly.

This has been the most frustrating year of my service in Congress, and it isn’t close. Mike Johnson is the weakest Speaker in the history of the House. He has turned the people’s branch into a rubber stamp.

What’s worse than a ‘do-nothing’ Congress? This one.

Even as Donald Trump usurps legislative authority, Republicans in Congress have said little and done less.

Schiff is a CA senator. He seems AWARE of the terrible harms these "A.i." companies are inflicting on us, and he's taking stabs at addressing them. But he's still pushing "A.i." into schools and seems to me to be pulling his punches with these (mostly CA-based) "A.i." billionaires.

What are you doing to save democracy this week? I’ll retweet anyones who has fun ideas they are doing to get out the vote or hold electeds accountable!

They never want to talk about the guns. Ever. Under any circumstances.

BRENNAN: The shooter had multiple weapons. You said he traveled from CA across the country by train. How did he do that? BLANCHE: This isn't about making laws more restrictive BRENNAN: I'm asking about crossing state lines w/firearms BLANCHE: I don't think that's something we should be focused on

I fear I am becoming a “process focused” person over an “outcome focused” person mostly because the outcomes are so shortsighted. “Winning an election” - isn’t enough if we don’t build trust in or democracy and strengthen unions, organizations and our communities in the process.

Republicans are funding Trump’s war in Iran with over 1 trillion dollars in cuts to Medicaid. His stupidity is costing more than 15 million people their healthcare coverage. Let that sink in for a minute. We deserve better than this. Vote them all out of office in November! #HealthcareNotTrumpsWar

If you want dems to hold people accountable you need to call their offices, go to the the fundraisers and rallies and bird dog them to hold Trump and his admin accountable. Priorities aren’t magical, they’re the result of constant pressure.

I am so excited about @stevenmartin.bsky.social ‘s new substack taking about the American health care system! He is a fierce fighter, an unending advocate and a voice worth listening to! Check it out, subscribe and share!

You're Not Bad at Taking Care of Yourself

You're doing what you're supposed to. That doesn't mean the system is.

this is what it is all about right here. You can whine and scream and panic all you want but action is the only thing that can fix this

What are you doing this week to help a Democrat win a primary?

Sen. Mike Lee just said the quiet part out loud. He admitted the SAVE Act is about winning the Senate, not "election integrity." A literal confession of voter suppression. 🚨 Details here: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/trumps-bra...

We know money in politics is bad, we know that congress is misaligned with public opinion, however incumbents have a massive reelection rate. There is a cognitive dissonance that cannot be explained entirely by money in politics.
