jobs is that they helped an utterly unqualified man win the election.
We all know it, but sometimes the obvious needs to be said: Tulsi Gabbard, RFK Jr., and Kash Patel would never have been nominated for any government position under any presidentβRepublican or Democrat. Theyβre completely unqualified and outright dangerous.
The only reason theyβre getting these
Never more important to my sanity!

Oh look. A President, a Governor, a Mayor - all at the crash site at the Chesapeake Bay with first responders. Not swimming. Showing empathy and leadership.
Pritzker: "He promised he was gonna lower costs & make us safer. He's done none of it. I realize he's only been in office 2 weeks, but it's gotten worse, not better. You think grocery prices have gone down? No, they've gone up bc of what he's threatening or what he's already put in place"

Idgaf Iβm still fighting for guaranteed healthcare.
Aspiration is the answer. Not just βweβre not the bad guys.β
We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. ππ½

Our hearts are broken & we pray for her family & friends.

Itβs important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.
Not all of it can be broadcast online, but weβve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.
