Our economic system doesn’t work if 37% of people on food assistance are working full time. These companies are exploiting and stealing from their workers.

Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits

Internal memo at the FDA claims 10 deaths in children as a result of Covid vaccines — but does not include data Explosive story by @by-cjewett.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/11/28/h...

#free #gift #unlocked This is a far more insightful essay than I had expected, focusing not on Trump but on the history of pharma addictions in the USA, and what tactics have proven to be successful in addressing them. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/15/o...

What’s Behind the Recent Decline in Overdose Deaths in Seattle? While Seattle’s outgoing mayor and city attorney credit drug arrests and prosecutions, public health evidence suggests other causes. @andyengelson.bsky.social reports. publicola.com/2025/11/26/w...

Or maybe women calling men out on their sh*t is exactly what Douthat meant by "women are ruining the workplace."

#MEpolitics: The Trump regime is shifting homelessness prevention and intervention funding away from programs that provide stable, long-term housing, prioritising funding for states that comply with federal law enforcement (i.e. DHS/ICE raids), and incentivising anti-camp and anti-unhoused policies.

Today’s Rich Saitz plenary brought powerful insights into the current evidence for psychedelics in addiction recovery from Adie Rae Wilson-Poe, PhD, Kevin Franciotti, and moderator Chris Stauffer, MD. Thank you to our speakers for a great discussion.

Even if you don’t care about people who use drugs - you really should care about other people - they will still just lie that you are a person who uses drugs when they want other people not to care about you

What the hell are we doing?

The loud part out loud

Good morning. Last night was a referendum on Trump's corruption, cruelty, and chaos. But it's also not a coincidence these big wins came at the exact moment when Democrats are using our power to stand for something and be strong. A huge risk to not learn that lesson.

Zoom in for gaggle of cute mushrooms!! #mushrooms #pnw

I think about this post every day 🧪

I heard some old friends at Pod Save America were in town, so I decided to stop by. As we saw this week, we can change this country for the better. But it’s going to take all of us getting organized and having honest conversations about the best way forward.

THIS is what power looks like. Starbucks baristas are standing tall, with their shoulders back and their heads high, and they’re showing the world what it looks like to demand a fair contract. At SEIU, we see you, we back you, and we’ll be there with you @sbworkersunited.org every step of the way.

Mamdani: Whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many black women that Donald Trump has fired from a federal job, a single mom still waiting for the cost of groceries to go down, or anyone else with their back against the wall—your struggle is ours too

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC. It didn't matter. Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

So so so much this.

{re-upping a personal mutual aid request} hey Seattle area friends! still looking for someone to foster a 3 year old, 45 pound husky for a friend who lost their housing until they get back on their feet. Could I get a boost? happy to share additional details with anyone interested 🩵🐕

#Snap benefits #Seattle for Seattle mutual aid. ❤️💪 static1.squarespace.com/static/67c0b...

ALERT: SNAP benefits are in danger of running out due to the govt shutdown. This is unconscionable, unnecessary, and cruel. At link in bio: 📍 Local Food Bank Map 🤝 Seattle & King County Food Resources ‼️ Emergency Food Network 📃 Neighborhood Meal & Pantry List

South Seattle folx or those willing to travel here: my friends at Both Ways Cafe will be feeding people for free from 2 to 4. If you need food, come on in. If you can donate food to Sam, come by. Corner of Genessee and Wilson. Pass it on and add other resources if you know of any. #snap

Rising Sun Produce in North Seattle is giving away produce up to $25 for those who might need help. The city of Seattle is also doing things to help with SNAP.

Yes, and food banks always prefer donations of funds over items, and that's why we'll be encouraging people at the event and before to donate money online to Rainier Valley Food bank: www.rvfb.org

I'm organizing a Seattle food drive to help folks hit by the halt to SNAP benefits. We could really use some volunteers to help deliver food boxes if we get a big response. DM me if interested.

Hey #seattle please help fill this in. I'd like to share w our advisory group (on overdose response) and thought others would appreciate this too. ❤️ #snap #snapcuts #food

Toasted Seattle: mention “can I put this on my neighbors tab” and SNAP recipients can receive free breakfast for their family. 👇🏽

Things are pretty awful, generally. But here are some pretty picts of beauty out in the world, w pnw fall glow filter! (no filter, that was a joke) #pnw #fall

If avoiding a painful and disfiguring rash - and potentially permanent nerve pain and nerve damage - isn’t enough for you, multiple studies have also shown that shingles vaccination can lower dementia risk, possibly up to 20%

Well no shit.

Psst: If you're worried bc you used to be a racist/Nazi & that may ruin your political viability, maybe put energy into finding someone viable to support. That would be ✨💪'big man' energy. Bc tbh the lying/coverup looks real bad & doesn't track w your podsav mesging re ~personal accountability.

This nyt opinion piece is giving serious Freepress energy 🫠🫠🫠🫠

Harrell, Wilson Disagree Over Whether Formerly Homeless People Can Thrive In "Workforce" Housing The mayor says it would be a "disaster" to move formerly homeless people into vacant units next to "teachers and baristas." His opponent says plenty of homeless people just need homes.

The cruelty is the point. I really hate this. www.cnn.com/2025/10/24/p...

50% of people in state prison have substance use disorders, yet only a tiny fraction have access to medication-assisted treatment. Prisons should not and cannot be treated as de facto treatment facilities.

Jeffries: "He's found time to demolish the East Wing in the most horrific way possible bc he wants to erect a ballroom so he can be celebrated like a king. He's found time for all of these different things, but somehow can't be bothered to find a dime to extend the ACA tax credits."

Records obtained by ProPublica indicate that food banks across the country were expecting more than 27 million pounds of chicken, 2 million gallons of milk, 10 million pounds of dried fruit and 60 million eggs that never arrived.
