RETWEET if you stand with Senator Mark Kelly against Donald Trump!

[Sally Burgess @BurgessWisdom]

Thank you Governor JBPritzker!

[JB Pritzker @JBPritzker]

No matter if it’s Kristi Noem, Tom Homan, Dr. Phil, or Mike Johnson, anyone who comes to our state to intimidate Illinoisans and spread hate is not welcome. We will not cower to the Trump administration. https://t.co/fG8S3bobqE

[Sally Burgess @BurgessWisdom]

Love this!

[RUBI @RurUrbBridge]

Rural resilience on display: With support of homegrown funding, farmers, & local leadership, rural Kansans in Dighton are turning a parking lot into a community-owned grocery store. RUBI's Rural New Deal calls for investments that enable growth of local food chains.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

So the Republican Party has historically blocked:

-Paid sick leave
-Paid family & medical leave
-Universal childcare
-Universal pre-K
-Expanded Child Tax Credit
-Programs to support reproductive health

And they're wondering why more people aren't having children?

[RUBI @RurUrbBridge]

Revitalize Appalachia had a record-breaking year in '24. Could it be b/c of federal grants through Coalfield Development supported training & jobs in coal counties in '23? Gov’t investments help #rebuild rural economies. Call your Reps & demand they support you, not billionaires!

[Dr. Genevieve Guenther (she/they) 🪬 @DoctorVive]

Never forget: this is not Trump. This is the Republican Party. They called for this in Project 2025.

The right is built on climate denial, and they will happily destroy American science before they will accept the end of the fossil-energy economy.

So, which is it?

If this info wasn’t classified, that in itself would be a scandalous screw-up that must be explained.

And if it was classified, then the Trump administration lied to Congress and to the American people.

[Suzie rizzio @Suzierizzo1]

Who else agrees? 💙💙💙

[Jack Hopkins @thejackhopkins]

Governor Tim Walz is doing exactly what Biden and Harris should have been doing.

He's speaking out. He's holding Town Hall meetings. He's doing the news shows. He's condemning Musk and Trump.

He's DOING what great leaders do.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Today, @AOC and I had 34,000 people come out in Denver.

It is the largest rally that I have ever had.

And it tells me that the American people will not allow Trump to move us into oligarchy and authoritarianism.

We will fight back. We will win.

[The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center @TheKingCenter]

We cannot go back.

No matter who you voted for or why, #TheKingCenter calls on you today to recognize our interconnectedness and our shared humanity during this critical juncture in our nation’s history.

We cannot go back. We must challenge rhetoric and policies that devalue and devastate communities, including those to which we may have never felt a connection. Or experienced concern regarding.

We are connected. Be concerned. Speak out, petition, call Congress, email the White House about the President’s executive order that repealed an executive order signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965 regarding federal contractors and nondiscrimination. 'Segregated facilities' are no longer explicitly banned in federal contracts.

Let’s not turn back time concerning our shared humanity. Let’s remind ourselves that “we the people” have the power.

[Jasmine Crockett @JasmineForUS]

Honest question for those not in the cult… what do you think it will take for them to finally admit that he’s ruining the country & put pressure on Repubs to turn their backs on him & finally hold him accountable?

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Trump and Musk are going after Social Security, Medicaid, the VA, and public education.

In what universe, in what world, in what religion is it morally acceptable to cut programs for hungry children in order to reward the wealthy?

[Sally Burgess @BurgessWisdom]

Freeing up our forests???

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Trump: "We don't need Canada's lumber. So what I'm doing is I'll be signing an executive order freeing up our forests so that we're allowed to take down trees and make a lot of money and then re-harvest trees ... we don't need anything from Canada."

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Musk says millions of dead people get Social Security. That's a lie. Here's the truth: 30,000 people die a year waiting for an understaffed Social Security to approve disability benefits. Musk's plan to cut Social Security's staff by 50% will make this tragic reality even worse.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

America’s wealth gap is now more extreme than it’s been in over a century. Until this structural problem is remedied, the American economy will remain perilously fragile.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

Getting rid of the American workers who take care of American veterans is wrong.

Veterans will not take this sitting down - we can make this the newest example of Trump being forced to back down from a bad move.

[Sally Burgess @BurgessWisdom]

Yes!

[Sierra Club @SierraClub]

Our national parks, monuments, and public lands are treasures that protect nature, wildlife, and clean water for future generations. But right now, some leaders want to hand these precious places over to corporate polluters for drilling and mining. In 2025, legislation is pushing to sell off public lands, eliminate conservation areas, and block future protections.

We can’t let this happen. It’s time to stand up and demand that our representatives protect the lands we all cherish.

Speak out today 🔗 https://t.co/oUyhg1TfBx

Great to hear!

[Sierra Club @SierraClub]

BREAKING: Campaign Legal Center, Union of Concerned Scientists, Organization of Chinese Americans, Japanese American Citizens League, and Sierra Club have filed a lawsuit challenging Elon Musk and DOGE's unlawful and devastating funding and staffing cuts to the U.S. National Park Service and Forest Service.

“American families are already feeling the effects of Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s careless and illegal cuts to our federal workforce," said Sierra Club Executive Director @BenJealous. "Firefighters and forest management staff have been dismissed as families remain on edge from the threats wildfires pose. Families wanting to enjoy our national parks, forests and monuments are being welcomed with closed signs, long lines, and unmaintained trails–before the parks’ busiest season has yet to begin."
