When the government targets your community, you don’t wait for rescue — you become the resistance. This week on This Woman’s Work: Jessica Villatoro of Siembra NC, turning fear into power and building real safety through community-led defense. When women lead, dignity rises. What does protection look like where you live? 🎥 @elm100_bk #ThisWomansWork #WePersist
If leaders can invent a “war” and label people “terrorists” on command, none of us are safe. This isn’t politics — it’s the rule of law. Raise your voice. Demand oversight. Share this before the lies harden. #WADM
Trump threatened lawmakers — specifically six veterans-turned-lawmakers — simply for telling our troops to follow the constitution. It’s on us to demand every elected official condemn his calls for political violence. Protect our reps. Protect our veterans. Protect our troops. #WADM #elm100bk
Congresswoman LaMonica McIver is facing up to 17 years in prison for doing exactly what she was elected to do: show up for her community. This isn’t just her fight. It’s all of ours. Follow @replamonica to support her work. 🎥 @elm100_bk #ThisWomansWork
Some women wait to be invited in. Others kick the door open and make room. That’s Tequila Johnson. 💪🏾 She co-founded @theequityalliance to build unapologetic Black power from the ground up. Since 2016, they’ve registered over 200,000 voters and stood up to anyone trying to silence them.
While some people may not know where their next meal may come from, this woman’s work is making sure no one goes hungry. @fracgram, led by Crystal FitzSimons, is fighting to end hunger & poverty, turning data into action, pushing lawmakers to treat food security as a right, not a privilege.
 #SNAP
While millions lose SNAP and health care, Trump’s busy building ballrooms no American needs. Our families, including military families, are struggling while he’s celebrating and demolishing the White House. #WADM #WePersist @katiephang.bsky.social
Republicans need to get back to work. Watch, share and spread truth further than their lies. #WADM #WePersist
Introducing Women that Work! Our new weekly series with @malyndahale.bsky.social highlighting women on the frontlines of the fight for democracy. First up: @ashantigholar, President of @emergeamerica. One way to fight back is by electing leaders who put people over politics. #WomenThatWork
Republicans control the House, Senate, and White House. This is their shutdown. #WaitADamnMinute #WePersist
This is a Republican-made shutdown. Trump’s spin can’t hide it: Americans will pay the price in lost paychecks, benefits, and health care. #WADM
No. Tylenol does not cause autism, and tonight’s rant from the White House was all politics, not science. Watch Katie Phang break it down. Watch. Share. Spread truth further than their lies. #WePersist
They turned the White House into a podcast — now they want TikTok. We see their playbook: exploit fear, weaponize the internet, control the narrative. We’re not falling for it. Watch. Share. Call out their lies and spin. #WaitADamnMinute #WePersist @thepersistnetwork
Cash bail punishes poverty — not crime. Trump’s call to end “cashless bail” is spin over solutions and politics over proof. Getting tough on crime means being tough on facts. Watch. Share. Spread the truth further than their lies. Subscribe to The PERSIST. Network on YouTube for more.
Trump bragged he created half a million jobs, but wait a damn minute - that's a lie! Watch Katie Phang break it down - unemployment up, manufacturing shrinking. Even Fox Business says it brutal! Trump inherited the world’s strongest economy and wrecked it in eight months. #waitadamnminute #wepersist
Trump sold our health for power, and put known conspiracy peddler RFK Jr. in charge of public safety. Today’s Senate hearing exposed the chaos, corruption, and lies. American families deserve so much better. Thank you @dadnails.bsky.social for filling in tonight! #wadm #wepersist
Trump says moving Space Command to Alabama is about saving money. But wait a damn minute, the Pentagon already warned this would hurt readiness and weaken security. Trump is playing politics, and he’s doing it in DC too, using soldiers like props. America deserves better! #waitadamnminute
Project 2025 is in full motion. From purging workers at the Fed and CDC to scapegoating trans kids, it’s all about revenge, hate and control. But we’re fighting back! Watch. Share. And Spread Truth Further Than Their Lies.
What does race and gender have to do with it? Everything. Trump knows racism and sexism rile up his base and divide our coalition—blinding us to the real threat: an attack on the Federal Reserve. Watch. Share. Spread facts further than their lies. #WaitADamnMinute #WePersist
On the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, Trump claims the GOP is “entitled” to more seats in TX. Newsflash: voters choose leaders, not the other way. @katiephang.bsky.social breaks it down. Watch. Share. Spread truth further than their lies. #WePersist #FairMaps 🎥 @elm-nyc.bsky.social
Tonight on Wait a Damn Minute… Monique Pressley steps in for Katie Phang—and she’s bringing the facts. Jobs down. Costs up. And the White House is building a $200 million ballroom... While the rest of us are dancing with debt and job loss. Watch. Share. Spread truth further than their lies.
Tonight on Wait a Damn Minute, @elizaorlins.bsky.social steps in for @katiephang.bsky.social to do what the White House won’t: tell the truth. Karoline Leavitt wants you to believe Trump’s a peacemaker. He’s not ending conflict: he stokes them. He’s not a humanitarian: he’s a failed dictator.
Trump’s not just golfing in Scotland, he’s intentionally bulldozing democracy. His Fed stunt wasn’t “official.” It was a power grab full of lies, intimidation, and ego. Wait A Damn Minute! This is authoritarianism on full blast. Watch. Share. Spread facts over the fiction. #WePersist #WADM
