Some are mad because people are on SNAP and not working. I’m mad because people are on SNAP even though they are working.

Please please folks check your vaxx status & that of your kids. Measles is not “just a childhood illness”; before vaccinations it killed and disabled millions of people every year. Remember, your vaccine doesn’t just protect you, but those too young or too immunocompromised to be vaccinated.

Yes, it is important to support financially and volunteer for existing food banks. And ALSO: most food banks are operating in small locations and/or out of faith institutions. There are two where I live. One only hands out food twice a week and lines have tripled since Trump took office.

Reminder: November 4th is extremely important, don’t forget to vote!

Let this sink in… “At least one expert now predicting this could trigger greatest hunger catastrophe in the U.S. since the Great Depression.” 📌 The Dept of Agriculture posted a notice on its website saying federal food aid won’t go out on November 1.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Thank you, New York City. Now let’s win.

youtube.com/watch?v=TKIl... the world needs to move away from Trump and his ilk.

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.

My "radical" agenda? Make this city affordable, keep New York safe and turn the page on the billionaire-backed politics of Andrew Cuomo. New ad now running on Fox News.

Pretty amazing finding.

Well, Fam, just found out our health insurance is jumping from $1700 to over $3000 a month. And we still have to wait till Nov 1 to see more options—when the site will probably crash because everyone will be freaking out at the same time.

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

I’m trying to learn more about their interface and apparently stories are a thing right now. My eye pic is moving and that’s kind of weird. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMQLPFKB/

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it. They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

“raising a question of legality” honestly gotta hand it to them for this one

I’d like to remind you all that fascism keeps coming back and future generations might wonder how we experienced these times. diaryindex.com/2017/02/19/d... #history

Zohran Mamdani has broken the brains of all the worst people. Excellent.

Sometimes I need to hear something that isn't complete madness for a moment. Procol Harum (featuring Gary Brooker RIP🕯) - A Whiter Shade of Pale (live in Denmark 2006) (6:38) youtu.be/St6jyEFe5WM?...

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."

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics. It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history. It corrupts our political system every day.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

The guy who’s currently tearing down the White House? Who thought Portland was under siege based on 5 year old TV footage? “It’s a blatant violation of our law of international law,” Gartner said. “It’s going to get worse.” www.rawstory.com/trump-267422...

Primaries are there for a reason. I'm not interested in "vote Blue no matter who" especially as its given us people like Fetterman. Push to make Democratic candidates better or replace them. And with that, I think its time to drop Platner.

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government. She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her. So I confronted him.

🚨NYC is showing us how it’s done! ✊🏼 1/2

The brutality. The corruption. The lies. Everything is on full display — and many Americans are beginning to learn an important lesson. Watch.

"It won't touch the building." "It will just be the East Wing facade." "It will just be the East Wing." "It will just the whole White House." (If no-one stops them, why would they stop?)

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

Send troops to San Francisco and we will sue you.

I have to stress how highly unusual it is for the most powerful military on the planet to be blowing up random boats in international waters. I can’t help but feel that several criminal charges will ultimately come from these strikes. It makes far more sense to interdict them.

We have just over two weeks to pass Prop 50. And when we do, it will send a message of hope across the country, that change is possible if we do the work. So, let’s get to it. linktr.ee/cadem

Apart from the politics and ideology cuomos is turning into one of those hubris stories for the ages. Upsets happen. He got caught in an upset in the primary. He could have walked away. Now he’s had months to at least make it competitive. And he’s abt to get demolished. For someone who dominated ….

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

that poor girl having the internet turn on her with that doordash shit over men spreading misinfo and now ppl are calling for HER to be arrested… sign of the times

the woman whose likeness was stolen:

some of the alleged AI videos. the woman is a real person whose likeness was stolen and has spoken repeatedly about it (alt txt: tiktok video comparing two different allegedly AI-generated videos reciting a script discrediting a woman who reported SA/harassment)

(one case appears to be especially egregious as a real black woman's likeness was allegedly stolen which is grim beyond words.)

but whether it's DD itself behind the fakes or just racist misogynists who correctly gauge that a lot of people are eager to puppeteer black bodies to voice their own opinions, one thing is clear: genAI is predictably once against emerging to be a technofascist wet dream

now the "allegedly" there is important bc it may not be the doordash company itself generating the AI fakes but instead run of the mill racist rape apologists seeking to legitimize bog standard misogynistic SA apologia by appropriating & distorting black feminist terminology, as racists often do

doordash is allegedly using AI-generated videos of black people to effectively astroturf a smear campaign against a female dasher who was sexually assaulted by a customer, we live in hell

I’d like to report that the White House looks like a war zone. Rubble everywhere. Time to send in the National Guard to restore order

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.
