There is a local senior center in our area doing a Chicken Barbeque fundraiser and it is now up to $14 for a dinner. (Half chicken, potato, roll and maybe applesauce). Almost double the minimum wage here in PA, which hasn’t been raised since 2009. @allaboutpa.bsky.social

pretty sure the folks in the lone star state know all about ken. i encourage everyone w an opinion about how to turn texas blue to go find your local country democratic party office and/or district congressional candidate and start right now by registering democrats to vote. that’s your job.

This is why I will not accept anything less than unconditional basic income as a dividend. My work trained the AI. So did yours. We must all be compensated in cash. Every month. For life. Do not use my work and then offer me a job, or some service. PAY ME. PAY US ALL

1. Lead Left, a super PAC created on 4/24, purports to stand "against MAGA extremists." It has spent $3M+ in Democratic primaries. But it's funders and motivations have been secret. Until now. It's a GOP dirty tricks operation. 🧵

… although the $1.7 billion figure captured in LaborLab and EPI’s new report is striking, “the deeper story is about the infrastructure corporate America has built: a well-funded industry working in legislators’ rooms and in the workplace.” …

My best friend gave his life for this country. He's buried less than a mile from that podium, and two of his children, whom he loved fiercely, are trans. This is just a giant middle finger to a man who was 1,000x the soldier the secretary could ever hope to be.

OMG. I KNOW HIM! I KNOW HIM!!

This morning we got a note from a PA candidate who was in a special election earlier this month. In that special, after being outspent TEN TO ONE, jumping through various hoops, and withstanding a variety of shenanigans...he overperformed 2024's top of the ticket. By TWENTY points. But he "lost."

I mean look at Bezos. Yes ordering books online was an innovative idea. God bless. And how did Jeff get those books to people to make his billions? The post office that taxpayers built and subsidized for over 250 years.

People often fear what other people won't do if they had an unconditional basic income, but what are you not doing right now because you don't have a UBI?

We’re gonna send that traitor Perry packing this November. 💪

There are six primaries tonight and I'm going to use the steroid high of my MS infusion to try and post the results of every statewide and federal race tonight. This will be the thread. Polls close at: - Alabama, 6pm EST - Georgia, 7pm - Alabama & Pennsylvania, 8pm - Idaho & Oregon, 10pm

Our parents were really like “stop crying or I’ll give you something to cry about” and then destroyed the middle class forever

My state Senator and state Rep. want PA to be more like Florida. They’ve said it publicly. This is exactly what they want.

Ron DeSantis and the Republican Florida legislature spent years banning books in schools, trans kids from using the bathroom, and mentioning LGBTQ people in schools. The result? Florida's test reading scores have sunk to dead last in the country. www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/f...

I live in Baltimore. From our roof deck, I can see our current ICE facility/concentration camp AND the harbor where our anthem was written. Anything can happen.

Punisher special was like watching a video game and reading a comic book. That early shot of Frank walking down the street in his hoodie though was how do you say…

Yo… @piperformissouri.bsky.social

propaganda isnt just bad things you dont like. propaganda is literally partisan information meant to lead you to a conclusion, aka every form of political communication ever.

Tuned into the Dubas presser and just hearing the #LetsGoPens bumper music has me sad and excited all at the same time.

QRP with the doctor you’d trust leading the hantavirus response instead of RFK Jr.

The US or any other country that ends gasoline and diesel taxes won’t make much of a dent in the war-caused economic disruption, but will lose revenue and incentivize more fossil fuel use, then find it politically very difficult to reinstate those taxes after the Iran war and associated damage end.

Birthday shoutout to @politicsmom.com who is a certified number one badass.

No, I don’t want to see your AI picture. No, I don’t want to see your AI slide deck. No, I don’t want to read your AI writing. It all looks and feels the same. And it’s also creepy.

My mom is better than your mom!

Finished the finale finally. Second all of this. Absolutely tremendous episode and conclusion. Actually yelled out loud a couple of times out of excitement. Looking forward to Punisher next week and Brand New Day.

Let’s Go!

Ag secretary confirming 1 in 4 US farmers has no fertilizer secured, American Farm Bureau survey says up to 70% can’t afford enough fertilizer for the season under the spiked costs Honestly shocked this isn’t bigger news. 25% of farms are just not planting at all this season. Farm bankruptcy up 46%

Gas is pushing $5 a gallon in central PA and minimum wage is $7.25. F this guy of course people are using credit cards.

Agree with Kelsey 💯 on this. Get Geno done today and let’s get going.

What up Philly???

Yeah the rotisserie chicken amendment is neat! Unfortunately it was attached to the Farm Bill which locked in $187 billion in cuts to SNAP. So, yes, now SNAP can be used for rotisserie chickens but more importantly, this bill means red tape, cuts & tons of people losing access to food completely.

Has your boss hired union-busters? You have the right to know. 📧 [email protected] LaborLab is a workers’ rights advocacy empowering workers and exposing union-busting.

Well, the 2025-26 Penguins are never boring. That’s for sure.

people fucking died for the voting rights act. to wave it away with a magic wand is just so grotesque

I say it again and again: Because we don’t learn the real history of this country, we do not understand what this country is capable of. After 1870, 22 Black men served in Congress. By 1901, because of racist SCOTUS rulings, electoral coups and election cheating and violence, there were none.

Some MAGAt told me once: "Its just four years. How bad can it get in just 4 years?" Trump nearly overthrew the country in a day and you just gave him 1,460 more tries.

“The only way you do impossible things is by continuing to try to do impossible things.” Wise words by Maya Handa, Zohran Mamdani’s campaign manager. Good morning to everyone who’s committed to trying. 💙

You know what would fix nearly all of our governance problems? Universal Basic Income. That, and proper proportional representation, but UBI first so people can eat well enough to think about voting.
