Frost: If you want to protect children, why don't you ban assault weapons instead of health care?

A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker. This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

kyrsten sinema seemingly had a long-term plan to cash out of her senate job by establishing a reputation as someone who was connected to both parties, so at minimum it is good to see her get to find out that her name is mud

It is common sense that the CorpComm be impartial and act on behalf of us, everyday Arizonans. We need to elect commissioners who aren’t in the pocket of the industries they regulate. azmirror.com/2025/12/12/w...

Arizonans: The Corporation Commission doesn't want you to spend less on your energy bills. Time to clean house.

"They [McDonalds] pay their workers so little that many have to rely on food stamps and Medicaid to make ends meet — for which the rest of us pay in our taxes." @rbreich knows the truth about our workers' economy: socialism for the rich, poverty for the rest. buff.ly/pFKld7R

Medicare, Medicaid, and SNAP are important. But big corporations have shifted their payroll obligations to taxpayers with part-time workers or pay too low for life's necessities, then siphoned the fattest profits for themselves. PAY A LIVING WAGE. (1/2)

Hey, they found the election cheating! Turning Point exec and former AZ Legislator pleads guilty to election fraud, namely forging signatures on his candidate petitions.

The middle of the road is for yellow lines and dead armadillos. Read CEBV's new column urging Dem politicians to speak to their values, not the polls or corporate donors.

Reminder: the stock market is not the economy. It's is a measure of corporate wealth & is profoundly irrational. GDP isn't a good measure either, nor is the inflation index. They should all be updated to reflect the reality of what measures prosperity (or lack thereof) for actual Americans.

The govt is trying to starve children, senior, and families and inflict massive inconvenience on others to get their way: they'll starve us till we let them take away our health care. Cruelty is the point. FlightAware for those who need to travel: buff.ly/hpWL3Yj

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country. Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right. The solution: Medicare for All.

Will they guarantee Trump will sign it? And then actually follow the law? @indivisibleguide.bsky.social

Republicans are going to extraordinary lengths to starve children in the United States. They will not be satisfied until people die from their policies. Call and write to your Republican representatives, and when they ignore you, consider protesting at their offices.

Republicans are defending Arizona's abortion restrictions. Their key witnesses are anti-abortion activists who have never performed an abortion. story via @glorihuh.bsky.social

#GVerse Um. WTF??? Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy: "Pilots need to stop depending on air traffic controllers. They need to suck it up and go with their gut feelings." This is the stupidest and most dangerous administration in history.

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

Election 2025 isn't over! Special election in Tennessee 7th on Dec. 2: help build progressive power in Congress by phone banking with Aftyn Behn. This is winnable! buff.ly/HO4KK8K

There's no other way to say it: Republicans in D.C. are holding hungry children, seniors, and families hostage by withholding SNAP benefits. Their threat is: we'll starve you until you let us take away your healthcare benefits. It's cruel. It's immoral. It's contemptible.

SNAP has increased b/c companies don’t pay a living wage. SNAP has increased b/c people struggle with health care costs. SNAP has increased b/c rent consumes too much $. Do I need to continue?

A lot of the people you see arguing against food assistance are actually on food assistance. They work at Walmart or a convenience store and think they are deserving, but others are not. This is projection and the way that the 1% keep poor people pitted against poor people so they don’t look up.

Every election cycle the Dem party regrets not investing in organizing rural communities. Statewide candidates and ballot measures *need* rural votes--can't win without 'em. Learn why and how from the best in the west: In Conversation with Mary Darling & @piperformissouri! buff.ly/7zQwqoc

Sen. Warren: Right now, as we are talking, and tomorrow and on Saturday, people everywhere in America are getting letters, getting their email notices that say, here's what your healthcare premiums are gonna be like for next year. And they’re not looking at numbers that are up, they are up, up, up.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

If you want to feel hope, and see the deep strategic thinking behind the huge coalition of groups planning resistance to the authoritarian takeover of our government, tune in! @indivisible.org @leahgreenberg.bsky.social @indivisibleaz.bsky.social

We've shunned Target, picketed Tesla, & canceled Disney--what's next? How about good for a change 🤩? ULTA BEAUTY has terminated selling through Target and is proudly standing by diversity, equity & inclusion because beauty is for everyone! buff.ly/rPCmWzz #UpliftGood

Speaker Johnson needs to stop being on vacation, admit that Americans need healthcare assistance, strike the draconian health cuts from the ugly budget bill, and get back to work so he can swear in Arizona's newly elected Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva.

Why do so many Americans not vote? Pride in civic action has declined, & participation is duty, not a triumphant, joyful opportunity. On election day, post your sticker or image of you excitedly going to vote? "Social proof" is a powerful tool to inspire others to do the same.

At the behest of corporate lobbyists, Trump's CFPB will block states from erasing medical debt from credit reports. This comes as the GOP allows ACA subsidies to expire – which could cause millions to go uninsured and medical debt to skyrocket. A perfect storm of cruelty.

Have you returned your ballots? Wherever you are, if you can vote, VOTE! Remember, you'll be thrown off the early voting list if you miss several elections in a row--don't risk it! YES on all school bonds & overrides. YES on Prop 409 in Maricopa County.

What did people do before SNAP?” They died. Healthcare, vaccines, disability support, education & food assistance are vital to our survival. They’re why the average lifespan isn’t 35 anymore The mark of a good & decent society is whether it sees the value in helping others.

“The Trump administration is intentionally hurting folks who need help the most. And they are using actual lives as a bargaining chip in a fight over whether health care premiums should skyrocket.” story via @caitlinsievers.bsky.social
