"I love the inflation"

Where's Ms Rachel? I'm in DC with 535 packets of children's letters and pictures from Dilly Immigration Detention Center. Members or Congress need to hear their voices and understand the trauma that they are enduring while a for profit prison company, Core Civic, makes millions.

New Yorkers need affordable homes. New Yorkers need great public libraries. So we're building both. Today, we took the next step toward creating a brand-new library and more than 200 affordable homes at the New Utrecht Library site in Brooklyn. Because public land should serve the public.

Trump loves inflation. Do you?

The annual SSA trustees report revealed that Donald Trump is weakening Social Security. Social Security Champions like Rep. John Larson are sounding the alarm on the Republican plan to cut, privatize, and steal our Social Security!

Lately I've been having vivid dreams ... or rather I've been recalling them. 💭

When a billionaire tells you a union is bad for you, that’s not advice. That’s a signal that you’re onto something that actually works. minnesotareformer.com/2026/06/09/t...

Let’s make one thing clear: Medicaid is an economic engine. When you cut Medicaid recipients, you’re not just cutting services , You’re cutting jobs, closing providers, reducing local spending, and hurting entire communities.

House Republicans just voted to hand Trump and ICE another $70 billion — despite growing evidence of abuse, cruelty, dangerous conditions inside detention facilities like Delaney Hall, and the horrifying violence we’ve seen in places like Minnesota.

If you credulously do a segment about the vote in California in which you don’t say the president is lying, you’re spreading disinformation to your listeners.

Last week, Erik McCleary of @cleanh2oaction.bsky.social joined advocates at the United Ratepayers conference in Nevada to demand affordable, reliable, renewable energy and accountability from utility companies. People should come before utility profits. #UnitedRatepayers #EnergyJustice

Cara Cooper of Kentuckians For The Commonwealth joined United Ratepayers in Las Vegas to demand affordable, clean, reliable energy for everyone. When communities organize together, we can build the energy future we deserve. ⚡🌎 #UnitedRatepayers #EnergyJustice #EEI2026

We disrupted energy execs at a conference in Las Vegas over skyrocketing electricity bills. This is what people power looks like. ✊ Get the details: https://www.utilitydive.com/news/protesters-target-nv-energy-electric-utility-conference-anger-over-affordability-electric-rates/821995/ #EEI2026

In the first years after birth, the human brain develops at a remarkable pace, shaping a person’s physical & emotional health for the rest of their life. Under Trump, 500 babies & toddlers spent some of that pivotal time detained by ICE. (THREAD) www.themarshallproject.org/2026/06/09/b...

I wrote about the smash-and-grab politics of fascist gangsterism and what it would mean to take back what’s been stolen. “The task is mass reclamation and transformation: taking back what has been stolen and making it impossible for so few to steal so much again.”

I went to this ICE flight fuel stop at BWI with @jjindc.bsky.social. Once again the shackled migrants sat onboard for hours AT THE INTERNATIONAL TERMINAL, administered by the Md. Aviation Authority. This is what you see on MAA’s website, @govwesmoore. It just took off. Next stop, fuel in Bulgaria.

Been reading Baldwin. 🤯

“I’ve been given a lot, so a lot is required of me,” Rodney said at his fundraiser. “Until ICE is abolished.”

It took over 14 months, but Rodney Taylor has finally been released from ICE custody He’s advocating for disabled immigrants and everyone having their health jeopardized in the camps What was done to Rodney should have caused worldwide uproar … yet almost no one told his story. We must do better

I'm working on a story on this as well, but the takeaway out of this is that Mamdani's direct-care clinic will apparently ban trans youth from getting care, will only provide it to adults. This is because of fear of loss of federal funding. This is DIRECTLY the capitulation reason NYU/Sinai gave.

Hey creatives, Bluesky took two big steps towards being a more competitive platform for visual arts! - Video uploads can be up to 300mb (up from a measly 100mb) - Posts can hold up to 10 images, and they display in a seamless carousel the same as IG/Threads (so no need to reformat when x-posting)

Ken Paxton’s own lawyer just endorsed our campaign for the US Senate. We’re building a big tent to take on this corrupt system that Ken Paxton embodies.

The Feds tried three times to indict ICE protesters. A judge found they manipulated grand jurors and removed those that disagreed with them. Charges have been dropped, but they owe $1M+ in legal fees The cost of exercising First Amendment rights keeps rising #SheShed

I don't know why Trump is a Knicks fan. The Spurs are what kept him out of 'Nam.

Mayor Mamdani Magically Saves NYC Money,By Working Hard,And Not Being Corrupt ! Go Knicks !🏀

Wait, WHAT?! "NOTE: To root out fraud, Medicare has temporarily stopped allowing new home health and hospice agencies from opening." Last week I got an email from Medicare dot gov on avoiding scams called "What should you do if you're offered free medical services?" #BabyVsBathwater

Oh FFS! “They prescribed an unproven treatment at inconsistent doses to patients that they never evaluated in person with more than a dozen different cancer types at various stages…” And many, if not most, of the patients were receiving other forms of treatment, like chemotherapy or surgery.

"The condition or the disease needs to be actively interfering with your ability to work. So people with early stage cancer who are in radiation treatment but still have the capacity to work, or people who have HIV but can still technically work, are not exempted from the work requirement."

Sunday June 14 marks the official 1 year anniversary of the first No Kings protest. It's "Dotard's" birthday, and what better way to spend the day than in protest, and to follow up that protest with a POTLUCK PARKING LOT TAILGATE party where we feed people and build community. Let's get cookin'!

Your presidential boos

I'm proud to release my campaign's first commercial! As Delegate, I will work tirelessly to strengthen our democracy and remove the influence of money in our politics, but I can't do it alone. A donation today can help us make sure more voters see our ad--> secure.actblue.com/donate/hayes...

This is truly amazing and worth your time. 😳 All 1:47 of it.

“How do we do private equity but like so evil that even our own grandmothers would invent time travel to go back and throat-punch us right out of the womb?”

in early Jan. 2025, the NLRB filed a formal complaint against GEO Group for putting ICE detainees who organized a labor strike in solitary confinement in weeks, Trump fired members of the NLRB, withdrew the complaint, & gave GEO a huge contract for Delaney Hall ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

“I chose America. I still choose it because of what was built here. A nation founded not on blood or soil or a single faith, but on an idea and an argument and a set of rules generous enough on its best days to hold all of us.” www.mediaite.com/media/news/m...

Wish more award winners would use their platform to share messages of humanity, decency, love and courage in the time of occupation, hate and genocide. Well done, young man. www.hollywoodreporter.com/lifestyle/ar...

Yooooo remember a couple years ago when those three LA city council members were caught on tape saying a ton of insanely racist stuff and conspiring to gerrymander another council member’s district? That other council member was Nithya Raman. The voting bloc they were trying to split? Renters.
