With folks losing their healthcare there’s a growing number of seniors who will require support and care. I feel like we’re not talking about this enough. Extremely important information. I was estranged from an abusive parent, so I can’t imagine being forced to care for them.

I'm laughing so hard 🤣 This made my day 😂

This is insane. Is he jealous the affordable care act was nicknamed Obamacare?

forced birth but then you also have to watch all those babies die of preventable diseases. the only policy goal republicans have , as far as I can make out from what they’re doing with power, is to kill as many children as possible

It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines. It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States. And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

The momentum that we have built for this campaign is more important than ever. We all know that DC has been broken for far too long, and it is time for a change. We have the chance to make history by sending a North Country farmer to Congress, but only with your support.

okay one more because this is just hilarious idiocy

This is great. But where were all the Democratic Senators when all the Department of Education, NSF, and NIH cuts incinerated the budgets every one of their public universities? When DOGE ran amok? Why are a bunch of them still voting to approve Trump's nominees on anything? More of this please.

Sure Over 400 mass shootings a year but the Europeans are the problem In murdering Americans, Americans are the undisputed Number One in the world

Some of the world's worst people have been on X spreading the claim that a person from Brown involved in both queer and Palestinian activism was the shooter. They had no evidence because there was none. A "Brown" + "Palestinian" search shows that some crazies are over here too. Blocking helps.

Fascinating 🧵

This sounds like a great gift!

Celeste (who is in the book) texted me after seeing the list on Instagram: "I am literally over here in tears. I am just so so so happy." Knowing that her story, along with those of the other four families, is reaching this kind of audience means more to me than I can say.

I love this 🙂🌻

Spotlight any one of the fabulous yoga moms who were seen in photos screaming at ICE agents. I LOVE those ladies.

Spotlight a woman who is losing her healthcare. A woman who is losing the love of her life because he's been deported. A woman who is terrified that her adoption will no longer go through. A woman who was fired because her job was deemed to be a DEI role. A woman who was a victim of Epstein's.

They buried it because it blamed the same exact consultants and orgs that scapegoated trans people and "the groups" for the loss. They can never accept any responsibility for their failures. The Dem establishment can never fail, it can only ever be failed.

A case study in how the "real estate state" overrides democratic will: after Mamdani's decisive victory, Adams and his allies are using bureaucratic maneuvers to block rent freezes and kill affordable housing before Mamdani takes office. A crucial piece by Sam Stein in @jewishcurrents.bsky.social:

Glad Rolling Stone published this, especially given the loud silence from the rest of the media on this grim watershed moment in US political history.

Truly, genuinely floored by this.

it's not hard to just love your kid. entire world being dictated by people who simply do not love their kids as they are and want to invent ways for that to be morally justified, a way to hurt them or let them die for not being what they imagined... but ethically.

The significance of the Buddhist teaching lies in the fact that it isn’t doctrinal. It’s not an attempt to tell us how things should be, it’s more a way of bringing our attention to the way things are. Ajahn Sumedho Goodnight everyone.

I was in the Speaker's Lobby when this happened and it generated a storm of protest. Rep. Riley Moore R-WV gaveled a procedural vote to a close while one Democrat was ready to vote. That vote would have defeated the measure on a 204-204 tie - but Moore opted for a very fast gavel.

Senate News: Republicans are trying to sneak a provision into their latest government funding bill that would make it easier to sell off public lands and national parks, and may have the votes to do it. If you care about protecting your public lands, now’s the time to make it known.

DONT WATCH THE BROADCAST don’t give him the ratings

If Trump announces a new and illegal regime change war against Venezuela tonight pay attention to which elected Democrats stay silent and don’t vociferously oppose and condemn him for it - and then make sure those Dems are subjected to primary challenges next year.

If the House passes a 3 year extension of the ACA tax credits - which they now have the votes to do - then @LeaderJohnThune has to call it up for a vote in the Senate. GOP leaders have tried as hard as they can to hurt families, but the dam is breaking. Let's get this done.

Advocates in Pennsylvania are calling for #HousingNotHandcuffs: Rep. Ismail Smith-Wade-El (D-Lancaster) urged elected leaders to reprioritize their expenses from prisons to affordable housing, putting “human interest before business or political interests.” buff.ly/iHzf3g9

I know that primarying Dems is the call to action for the moment, but why can’t we recall them too when they vote against their constituents wishes or ignore public outcry? Their manipulation in ending the shutdown for a pinky promise shows them working around primaries.

For months, I've been talking to providers and researchers across the country to understand how the Trump administration's immigration policies are impacting reproductive health. The story is out today in @rewirenewsgroup.com. I hope you'll give it a read: rewirenewsgroup.com/2025/12/17/i...
