When the Court overturned Roe, one thought kept running through my mind: Women of this generation were about to lose rights that previous generations had fought to secure.

Four years later, we have seen exactly what that looks like — chaos, confusion, fear. Women denied care. Doctors threatened for providing it.

But we have seen something else: The American people refuse to accept that this is the future.

These are difficult times, but our fight continues.

The UN has officially declared Gaza a genocide. And that Israel is deliberately targeting children and babies

Only took them 3 freaking years to get there

The Trump admin doesn’t want anyone to say the name of Jonathan Ross, the ICE agent who murdered Renee Good.

So whatever you do, don’t say Jonathan Ross. Or Border Patrol agent Jesus Ochoa and Customs and Border Protection officer Raymundo Gutierrez…the men who murdered Alex Pretti.

Elon Musk once jokingly offered to end World Hunger, asking how much it would cost as if it would be some incalculable number.
When the UN replied saying 6.6 Billion would be enough to immediately end Famine for the year he never responded, and a few months later bought Twitter for 44 Billion.

You struggle and suffer because people like him are allowed to exist, not because your neighbor is an immigrant.

The Utah Senate President has an 18-year old grandson charged with molesting a child.

Last month, he passed a bill reducing child molestation sentences, only for 18-year olds. Yesterday, he lost his job.

They walk among us, insisting leftists & minorities are the problem.

Pete Hegseth fired a Navy Vice Admiral to make her disappear, and yesterday the voters of South Carolina handed her a path to a seat in Congress. Her name is Nancy Lacore.

Dr. Annie Andrews has won the South Carolina Democratic Senate Primary.

She will face Trump-endorsed Republican Senator Lindsey Graham.

[Rep. Suzan DelBene @RepDelBene]

Democrats just forced a vote to put an end to Trump’s $1.8 billion slush fund.

Every House Republican rejected it & voted to support your tax dollars going to cop beaters & right wing extremists. Despicable.

🇦🇱 | After days of fierce protests and armed clashes, the Albanian government has announced it is halting all work on Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump’s controversial project.

Crowds are refusing to leave the streets until the entire project is permanently canceled.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Netanyahu is lobbying for Section 224 in the national defense bill, a provision that quietly expands U.S.-Israel military cooperation and weapons development with almost zero oversight.

The American people do not want more U.S. military aid to Israel. We must defeat Section 224.

Hey, Lisa Murkowski, was selling your soul and selling out Alaska worth it?

[Acyn @Acyn]

Ossoff: Both of my Trump puppet opponents said that they would support this $1.8 billion slush fund for Jan 6 foot soldiers. I'm running against two Trump puppet Maga fanatics who are pro-war, pro-tariff, pro-cutting your health care pro-Jeffrey Epstein memorial ballroom….

The first person ever executed for treason in the “United States” was hanged for trying to free enslaved people. Let that sink in.

JOE KENT: “America’s relationship with Israel brings nothing but death and destruction.”

It’s incredible that there are boomers out there that still cannot see this.

[Seth Abramson @SethAbramson]

Trying to understand how it’s legal for a POTUS to tell voters he’ll ensure their state receives funding if they vote like he tells them to while promising they won’t receive the said funding if they disobey his orders on who to vote for

Thought we fought a revolution over this?

So Virginia can't use their new map, which was approved by voters. But Alabama can?

But sure, SCOTUS isn't "political"

[Gianl1974 @Gianl1974]

He took over the Kennedy Center and renamed it after himself. You said nothing.

He accepted a $400 million airplane as a personal gift. You said nothing.

He threatened Canada, Cuba, Denmark, Greenland, Venezuela, Colombia, and Brazil. You said nothing.

He tariffed just about everyone but Russia, causing inflation and instability worldwide. You said nothing.

He attacked a nation during mediated negotiations. You said nothing.

His ill-conceived war killed 175 children on day one. You said nothing.

He committed murder on the high seas. You said nothing.

He co-opted the Justice Department and directed it to prosecute his political enemies. You said nothing.

It’s time to start talking.

[Echoes of War @EchoesofWarYT]

The richest man in America signed a document that could have gotten him hanged, and when someone sneered that he was safe because no one would know which Charles Carroll to come for, he picked up the pen and told the British exactly where to find him.

His name was Charles Carroll, and the colonies were crawling with men who shared it. His own father was Charles Carroll of Annapolis. So when the Declaration of Independence came to him for signing in 1776, a delegate made a cruel little joke. He said Carroll risked nothing by signing. There were so many Charles Carrolls that the King's men would never know which one to hang.

Carroll didn't argue. He leaned over the page and added three words to his signature: "of Carrollton." The name of his estate. His address. He was the only signer in the entire room who wrote down where he lived, and he did it on purpose, so that if the British wanted to come hang the traitor, they would know exactly which door to knock on.

That is who Charles Carroll of Carrollton was.

Here is what makes the moment even sharper. He was not a man with little to lose. He was the single wealthiest man in the thirteen colonies and the largest private landowner among them. While George Washington and John Hancock get talked about as rich men, it was Carroll who topped them all. When he signed, he was wagering the biggest personal fortune in America against a noose.

And he was the last man anyone would have expected to be there at all. Carroll was Catholic. In colonial Maryland, a colony founded as a Catholic refuge that had since turned on its own, Catholics could not vote. They could not hold public office. They could not worship in public. The most educated, wealthiest man in America was, in the eyes of the law, a second-class subject barred from the very government he was helping to create. He had spent seventeen years being educated by Jesuits in France and spoke five languages fluently, and back home he still could not legally cast a ballot.

So he became the only Catholic to sign the Declaration of Independence, putting his name on a revolution that he hoped would build a country with room for men like him. That was its own enormous bet, made by a man the existing system had already shut out.

Then he simply outlived everyone.

Thomas Jefferson and John Adams both died on the same astonishing day, July 4, 1826, exactly fifty years after the Declaration. When they were gone, Charles Carroll of Carrollton was the last living signer left on earth. For six more years he was the final human link to that room in Philadelphia, the last hand that had signed, a living relic of the founding that ordinary Americans traveled to see and shake.

He finally died in November 1832 at the age of ninety-five, fifty-six years after he wrote his address on a treason document and dared the empire to come find him.

The richest man in America. The only Catholic. The last one standing. He had more to lose than any of them, every legal reason to stay quiet, and he signed his full address anyway.

We remember the names we were handed in school. We forget the man who made sure his couldn't be mistaken for anyone else's.

Which Founding Father do you think history shortchanged the most?
