While billionaires convert the government into their private slush fund, we’re coming together to demand a country that puts workers first. #LaborDay2025
I’m a retired FL teacher now living on our sailing cat exploring the Caribbean. I stay fit swimming, practicing yoga and scuba diving. I love animals and am especially passionate about horses and am an avid rider. I believe in protecting our democracy.

These young #wildhorse brothers were rounded up on Twin Peaks HMA last Oct. On Aug 15, they were sold as sale authority for $25 each in OK by the BLM. Just a couple days later, they’d been flipped for slaughter and appeared on a kill pen site in TX. We’re fundraising to save them: bit.ly/3I1ucWT

Nice try, White House. The judge called the regime out on its attempt to distract with grand jury transcripts when it has far more relevant documentation it could release.

A short video about Juneteenth:
Juneteenth, the day we celebrate the end of slavery, the day we memorialize those who offered us hope for the future & the day when we renew our commitment to the struggle for freedom. – Angela Davis Realize the promise of Juneteenth, register. #Voterizer social.fieldteam6.org/s/iMr55Ft5
"You cannot take your freedoms for granted. Just like generations who have come before you, you have to do your part to preserve & protect those freedoms." – Michelle Obama We are watching the destruction of our freedoms. Register & vote for Democrats. #Voterizer social.fieldteam6.org/s/HMn46TEa
Contact your senators about this!
Happy Juneteenth!
For anyone joining a protest.
Gov. Pritzker: “It's wrong to deploy the National Guard and active duty Marines into an American city over the objection of local law enforcement, just to inflame a situation and create a crisis.”
Remember the old bumper sticker that said, “Democracy is a verb”? It's time. Let's "democracy" on Saturday. Find a protest near you. Bring a sign. Bring a kazoo. Mostly, bring yourself. Let's do this! www.latimes.com/opinion/stor...
Simply incomprehensible… That this sentiment is out there…
See you at NO KINGS in San Diego!
incredibly important. unfortunately, while press coverage has been generally excellent cable TV has inexcusably hyped minimal violence for ratings. Becoming Fox News is not the answer to the death of corporate news. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/t...

ONE WEEK UNTIL NO KINGS DAY! At this time next Saturday, we will be taking to the streets across the country. While Trump wastes millions on a birthday parade in DC, we’re showing up everywhere else to say NO KINGS. There are nearly 2,000 events planned. Join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...
Can you imagine the United States of America killing off its iconic wild Mustangs?! THE symbol of our free spirit, strength and resolve? Well, it’s happening. Raise your voice loudly against this horrible bill.
Flag Day isn't about celebrating the president. That’s why we're hitting the streets on June 14 to say No Kings and show that organized people power is stronger than authoritarian aspirations. Extra credit: paste ❌👑 to your handle! social.fieldteam6.org/s/UwxBMlXt

House Republicans just passed Trump’s Tax Scam (the GOP’s Medicaid-slashing, billionaire-enriching megabill) in a 215-214 vote. The bill got even worse overnight, but the most important thing to know right now is this: This fight isn’t over, and this bill can still be stopped. 🧵
June 14 is Trump’s birthday and his military parade in DC — but the biggest story of that day will be the actions we take everywhere else. Join our nationwide day of defiance to show that organized people power is stronger than Trump’s authoritarian aspirations: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...
Republicans won’t defy Trump unless their constituents absolutely force them to. That means our job is to make Trump’s Tax Scam politically toxic. If you live in a GOP district, let your representative know they risk losing their job by defunding Medicaid and SNAP to make billionaires richer.
I joined @normeisen.bsky.social for coffee with the @contrariannews.org this morning and we talked about Congress' consideration of cuts to Medicaid. Let's get outraged folks. This is our tax dollars they want to take from people who need them the most so they can line billionaires' pockets.
Georgia’s challenge law dates back to 1908, when a Jim Crow–era “pure registration” law was passed to suppress Black political participation…One Black Army veteran who was challenged likened it to those old tactics meant to discourage and exhaust voters into giving up. www.ajc.com/opinion/fair...

THIS MORNING: We’re rallying at the Supreme Court to protect the 14th Amendment and the Constitution. If you’re in the DC area, help us show up and show out for the historic hearing on birthright citizenship.
We’re slipping into “competitive authoritarianism” Keep up the resistance.
This day has a special poignancy when we are able to save a #wildhorse #mare with her baby. From a killpen in Texas to thousands of acres at #SkydogSanctuary in Oregon, Lady Grey and Pipsqueak have moved thru their trauma together to live happy and free with Cruiser’s family. #HappyMothersDay2025
Interesting but not surprising. He’s like a little boy desperately seeking acceptance.
Yes. Very interesting and yet not surprising. He so badly wants attention, importance and to be one of the bros. Much too self-absorbed.
Next week, House Republicans will quietly meet to decide how many families and senior citizens they’ll kick off SNAP food assistance — all to fund tax breaks that make billionaires even richer. If you’re represented by a Republican, they need to hear from you on this betrayal of their constituents.

There are actually NOT questions about whether a verbal order carries the same weight. Unless you're an idiot. Then yeah, maybe you have questions about that.
We’re hearing that Republicans will soon bring back the SAVE Act for a vote. This bill is a blatant voter suppression tactic that could block millions of Americans from voting by imposing unnecessary and harmful citizenship verification requirements. Take action now: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Elon Musk is spreading more conspiracy theories about us — because our movement isn’t for sale. We’re powered by the grassroots, not creepy billionaires. Our groups will be doing everything they can to hold the GOP accountable during the upcoming recess. Chip in to support the nationwide organizing.
