@funder Point out just how much the Republican senators are not doing what Republican voters want. Voters wanted witnesses, Senators said NO. Mitch is not passing Republican bills on his desk just because they are bi-partisan. Senators give up their power and voters lose. Unacceptable!
In 1949, four Black men in Florida were wrongfully accused of a crime they did not commit. One was hunted down and killed before he could stand trial. Two were convicted by all-white juries. The sheriff shot them on the way to their retrial, killing one. It took more than 75 years but Florida has now set aside $4 million in compensation for the descendants of the Groveland Four. This does not erase what was done. But these families have carried this burden long enough.

“My nephew should still be here. Should he have to die for resisting arrest?”
CLARKSVILLE — Darrius Chappell died in custody after being tased, dragged by the hair, bitten by a police dog for a full minute. (The @NAACP is holding a rally today)

What MAGATs see:
- Trump is a flag bearer for truth, justice and the American way.
- Loves the little guy and hates the Deep State.
What everyone else in the whole wide world sees:
- Trump is the most prolific liar ever to hold senior public office, who has evaded prosecution for multiple felonies and uses the justice department to pursue his innocent enemies and who has mocked true American heroes because he is an inadequate cockroach.
- Stiffs all his contractors, increases costs for working Joes but gives massive tax breaks to his billionaire buddies and introduces new layers of authoritarianism to pursue anyone who dares to criticise him.
Not so much rose-tinted spectacles, more blinkers and headphones.
🚨 BREAKING:
U.S. world-famous author Stephen King:
“Trump is a tumor in America’s veins. A tyrant who does not hesitate to set a country on fire for his narcissistic ego. No horror story I’ve written could be as terrifying as this man.”
I love this country too much not to fight for it.
This 4th of July, let’s recommit ourselves to the promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for all.
On this 4th of July, we honor the unbreakable love of those who fought for a just nation even when it didn't love them back.
As Langston Hughes said "America never was America to me—and yet I swear this oath—America will be!"
Karolie rants about “full blown communism”— as her boss runs 🇺🇸 into the ground, enriches the oligarchs, hollows out the middle class, uses tariffs as leverage for personal gain, steals from taxpayers…
All they have is Fearmongering + projection.
250 years ago, this country was founded on a radical idea that government answers to the people.
Today, that idea is under attack by a man who embodies the very tyranny our Founders rejected.
Let's honor the promise of America by defending our democracy.
.@GovWesMoore on 250 years of American Independence and referencing his ancestor who fought in the Revolutionary War: "For six years, he fought for a country and a cause that did not yet include him."
Our 250th birthday is a great time to celebrate free and fair elections—the foundation of self-government—and our sacred right to vote. We allow no kings, no tyrants, and no despots here, so, no thanks, we don’t need your SAVE MAGA Act.
What do we, as Democrats, stand for? We can’t just be AGAINST Trump; we have to be FOR something. I know what I stand for.
Medicare for All. Living wages for all. Universal childcare. An economy that works for EVERYONE.
I hope you’ll join me.
As we celebrate America’s 250th birthday, President Obama’s message could not ring more true: There is not a red America or a blue America. There is only the United States of America.
