To all those “Let them go without food for a month, maybe they’ll get a job” people: Most SNAP recipients have jobs. Exploitative jobs that keep them living just below the poverty line. — Should they starve to death? And then what?

Our health care system is broken, it’s true. We must fix it. Right now Democrats are asking: At least leave people with the coverage they had. Don't drive up costs for millions of families. Congressional Republicans chose to shut down the government instead.

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP. A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify. I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

@novaclc.bsky.social Good to see you here on BSKY. I am almost done with FB. Hello from a past Lafayette friend.

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house. Remove him from office.

No Kings, Portland, Oregon

An astonishingly large crowd! Chicago

Organizers have reported 7 million attendees at the No Kings events and we’re happy to confirm 7 million and counting! More events are still happening across the country today, so we’ll need additional time to fully certify the final numbers.

Remember: She doesn’t have immunity.

Please everyone read this and pass it along. 💙🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️. Conversion torture = torture!

Virginia families are struggling to keep up with high costs — yet my opponent supports the very policies raising everyday prices. As Governor, I’ll be laser-focused on lowering costs — and on Day One, my Administration will get to work to make life more affordable.

The same guy telling you Portland is war-ravaged, told you Mexico was going to pay for the wall and people were eating your pets in Ohio.

Trump just ordered the military into Portland, and he’s giving them the green light to use lethal force on American citizens. Authoritarianism is an abstract concept but Trump is making its impacts real and tangible. Let’s be real about it: This is the beginning of dictatorship in America.

Vote Spanberger!

goddamn this is good

Compared to acetaminophen (Tylenol), guns are astronomically (infinite orders of magnitude) more dangerous to the safety of children.

With the likelihood of a government shutdown increasing, the Trump administration has threatened federal employees with mass firings if Congress does not reach a funding deal within the next week.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Blowing up boats in the Caribbean without any legal authority risks dragging the United States into another war, and provoking attacks against American citizens. I'm getting ready to force a vote with @kaine.senate.gov to ensure Congress' power to declare war is not so easily trampled.

Progressives: End gun violence now. MAGA: This means war.

🚨There’s a special election TODAY in VA-11 — that’s most of Fairfax County and parts of Fairfax City! For our VA-11 voters, today is a great opportunity to send @jameswalkinshaw.bsky.social to Congress to stand up for Virginia families.

Trump spent Labor Day promoting what he called a “Golden Age,” but the claims being pushed don’t hold up. The White House circulated talking points on social media boasting of $8 trillion in new tariff revenue, $4 trillion in deficit reduction,

First, they came for John Bolton And I did speak out Because even though I'm not a nutty right-wing warmonger with a ridiculous mustache, I am an American who is horrified by a simple-minded tyrant using our Justice Department to avenge his petty, personal grudges.

Summoning Bette Davis... "You should never say bad things about the dead. You should only say good. James Dobson is dead. Good."

James Dobson is dead…

We demand Congress act to preserve democracy! Tell Congress to end the occupation of the District of Columbia! We need Congress to act now! End the occupation in the District of Columbia! give.sojo.net/page/86807/d...

It just keeps getting worse

Unfortunately, this is where we are headed... shameful...🥺

She’s vile

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

This moment from today’s Medicaid vigil is so powerful… Question: What do you say to the people who voted to cut Medicaid? Be honest. Samantha Phillis: They voted against my child’s life. #MedicaidCutsKill

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

Why wait?

Racist AF

Exactly.

Dear @stephencolbert.bsky.social, Thanks for all the years of speaking truth to power & finding the funny in fascism. Looking forward to following you wherever you land, Your fan, Mar🐫

Colbert has the highest ratings of any late night host. "Financial reasons" my ass. This is political.

The Washington Post wants us to know about the best sandwiches in town, but not about the Bove confirmation walkout.

John Lewis walked, bled, and lived for justice. Five years since his passing, we honor him the only way we know how: By refusing to stay silent and getting in more Good Trouble.

If you’re talking about the autopen today, when the whole world is FINALLY demanding answers on Epstein, then you are the very type of Deep State elite-protecting shill that so many on the right have spent years decrying.

Kinda seems like they hate women

Despite receiving $10.2 million in federal aid from the Biden administration that could have funded a flood warning system, Kerr County officials diverted most of the money to law enforcement projects.

Why are folks mad at the working mom with kids on Medicaid and SNAP rather than companies like Walmart that refuse to pay her a living wage and provide health insurance?

We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.

Correct. The common tactic we can see in the last ten years is that mixed-race politicians who claim Black international/ or African heritage are "not really Black" -- so as to dissuade Black Americans from supporting them. See Obama, Harris, Mamdani. Clockwork. Nasty work.

More than 880,000 workers will get a raise this summer due to state minimum wage increases. Anyone upset about this should consider the following: If the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity gains since the 1960s, it would now be nearly $26 an hour.

Do not lose hope. You are not alone. Most of America rejects this. The people do not want an authoritarian regime—we do not want oligarchy, we do not want Christian nationalism, we do not want techno-fascism. And we’re more powerful than they’ll ever be. The people united will never be defeated.
