[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨CAUGHT ON TAPE: Trump ADMITS the SAVE Act is designed to disenfranchise voters: "Republicans have to win this one. We'll never lose a race for 50 years."

He’s talking about YOU. Your vote gone. Your voice erased. So they never have to answer to YOU again.

#SAVEActIsPayToVote

Any crypto legislation that does not stop Donald Trump and his family from continuing to profit off of crypto is failing the American people.

[Ron Wyden @RonWyden]

You shouldn't have to work two, three, or four jobs just to get by in America.

We need a $25/hr federal minimum wage. Period.

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

When Republicans choose to take a position on this, know that it's based on racism.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Meanwhile, California's homicide rate just reached a historic LOW. Violent crime is DOWN. Property crime is DOWN.

The data doesn't lie. The states with the HIGHEST murder rates in America are overwhelmingly GOP-led.

[Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley]

Trump said he'd end inflation and lower costs. The reality?

He’s exploded costs—Oregon families have had to spend an extra $3,200 under Trump.

[Reverend Raphael Warnock @ReverendWarnock]

Critical programs dismantled, thousands of jobs lost, countless lives ruined and everyone worse off.

And the debt is now higher than ever.

DOGE was a failure of leadership to the highest degree.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Nearly a million people lost BILLIONS on Trump’s crypto scheme while a handful of insiders made a fortune.

This is corruption on a scale our country has never seen.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Peter Thiel, the billionaire founder of Palantir, called Pope Leo “a Chinese communist agent” for writing that AI must be used to “truly benefit the common good, and is not just used to accumulate wealth and power in the hands of a few.”

Who do you trust? Pope Leo or Mr. Thiel?

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

The Big Tech oligarchs want to replace tens of millions of jobs with robots. They want robots teaching our kids.

Is this the future we want for humanity?

@withnomoney ... Brutal architecture....

[Acyn @Acyn]

Cooper: I've seen governments and dictators rise and fall, people and places torn apart by lies and hate and war. And I've seen people do things and heard them say things that I could never have imagined. I've seen what we humans are capable of when everything else is stripped away. Yes, great acts of barbarism and brutality. But we are also capable of remarkable acts of heroism and kindness. It's a choice, and the choice is up to us

Let's hope 50 years from now, someone standing here or somewhere on the eve of the 300th anniversary of this republic will look back and say of us: they didn’t know if they would make it through but they did.

Everything Trump touches turns to shit.

[The Atlantic @TheAtlantic]

Ten years ago today, J. D. Vance called Trump “cultural heroin” in The Atlantic: “To every complex problem, he promises a simple solution … He never offers details for how these plans will work, because he can’t," Vance wrote of Trump.
