Raddatz asks how anyone could object to the National Guard in DC because carjackings are down 87%. Brilliant. If they hermetically sealed all DC residents inside their homes, they could get that stat down to nothing at all. Should we do that, Martha?

PS this is the same list of reasons corporations and the Trump admin are all union busters. They don’t want to have to treat you like a person.

“I was r*ped sometimes 3 times a day on that island… and I was not the only girl on that island… Ghislaine must die in prison, because I’ve been in hell and back for the last 17 years.” Listen to the survivors.

America: Universal healthcare creates wait times for healthcare. Also America: waits six months for a neurosurgeon consult and a year to get into a dermatologist…

Thank you, Boston Globe. This is how it's done.

Parts of the Constitution were erased from the Library of Congress website, including the section featuring the foreign emoluments clause. The removal was blamed on a "coding error." Here's a reminder of what the clause says, just in case Congress ever decides to enforce it...

Hell yes! #UnionStrong

Engineering is the intersection of Curiosity and Capability When your curiosity outstrips your capability, you expand your capability and grow When your capability expands, it allows you to see farther and grows your curiosity Don't allow your tools take away both your Curiosity and Capability

Girl duh. But thank you for finally acknowledging this and please help do something about it now. We gotta make space for anyone and everyone to change their minds about this nonsense so they can speak up, especially active electeds.

This is moving. Kamala Harris feels the pain we feel. Not just from her loss, but from the trauma and abuse our country is living through. What could have been…

The Senate Banking Committee passed its first housing bill in over a decade. It'll boost housing supply and lower costs. Time to get this done. And we must do more — including taking on consolidation in the housing sector and corporate landlords that hike up prices on families.

the US profoundly needs a children's rights movement. children are not property... they deserve opportunity and learning and autonomy and security.... and our country just does not acknowledge this

One of the most important and powerful things any kid can do to make a better world is if they see someone being pushed around, stand up for them. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

Donald Trump says he wants to keep Americans safe from fentanyl. Yet, he's once again putting lives at stake as he slashes and burns the very programs actually lowering overdose death rates and implementing recovery and health programs.

Can't we skip the flute part and just tell me you've denied my claim already

And all forms of emergency response and crisis intervention. We should not be profiting from the worst days of people’s lives. It should be unacceptable that our society can’t seem to find value in anything more than the financial exploitation of our suffering.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office. 2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor. 3) Donors make a huge profit. 4) Repeat. For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

Signed in 1990. Still treated like a suggestion. Broken elevators, missing ramps, “just call us when you arrive.” The ADA isn’t a checklist; it’s civil rights. People deserve more than accommodations if convenient. #ADAAnniversary #DisabilityRights

A lot of people need to hear this

17 million people might lose their healthcare but at least your tax dollars will be going to good use in other very, very important ways.

In 1977, disability rights activists staged a 25-day sit-in at the San Francisco Federal Building, paving the way for the Americans with Disabilities Act. On the ADA's 35th anniversary, we honor their heroism and reaffirm our commitment to empowering all. 📸: @dredf.bsky.social, ‪@sfdcc.bsky.social

Good god please give me an easy way to cancel subscriptions I cannot afford anymore. I fear I may never make it to the center of the labyrinth to meet the goblin king who can give my back account back to my family. We, the people, are begging the government to do anything that helps regular people 💸

That any of us even feel a choice in avoiding the bad news in these moments is possible shows the subtle and insidious ways privilege works. It allows us to have urgency as an option, where for others it is a necessity. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/the-white-...

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

For too long, our government stopped vigorously enforcing laws that keep Corporate America in check. Corporations got more powerful while our basic economic freedoms went unprotected. Former FTC Chair Lina Khan explains.

With wages failing to keep pace, researchers find that consumers’ real spending power decreased by 4%, on average. The rich are getting richer and wage earning average Americans can’t even go to the movies and dinner. Explain the big picture! www.cnbc.com/2025/06/13/m...

Who else thinks we should ban members of Congress from trading stocks?

Our “health and sustainability challenges exceed the scope of any single discipline, government ministry, or societal sector, underscoring the need [to improve collaboration and develop] perspective that appreciates the fundamental interconnections between humans, animals, and the wider ecosystem.”

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." -FDR, 1937

So weird this admin would rather spend 179 billion dollars on concentration camps for tax-paying farm workers with no criminal history than provide any kind of coordinated effort to respond to the floods, fires, extreme heat, and other climate related disasters happening all over the country rn

“Joseph Tirrell, a career attorney who’d spent nearly 20 years at the department, received a termination letter from Bondi July 11 that didn’t state a reason for his immediate removal from federal service…cited Article II of the Constitution, which concerns presidential powers,” V ethical and legit

This is inaccurate nonsense + 60 years ago we didn’t have employers like Amazon and Walmart making obscene profits globally just refuse to pay a living wage and provide healthcare to their workers…Oz and GOP continue to blame systemic financial oppression on individuals as a personal moral failing.

I feel like the AC/heat mortality discussion is a lot like COVID and disability discussions insofar as a lot of people are awfully optimistic about pretty important and common things never impacting them.

A teeny, tiny pansy has appeared in the cracks between the paving stones outside the front door.

"The issue of government has always been whether individual men and women will have to serve some system of government and economics, or whether a system of government and economics exists to serve individual men and women."  —FDR, 1932
