But that means we have to fucking fight for it. Yeah, we want DEI, you ghouls. We want kids understanding they and their cultures deserve respect. We want kids exposed to a variety of religions, racial backgrounds, disabilities, types of families. Sorry that makes you uncomfortable, snowflakes.

Look, we knew it was happening, but hearing about Head Start providers having to sue to be able to use words like disability and Black and accessible to be able to serve children and their families appropriately is really goddamn upsetting.

Gaza is still suffering genocide as Israel kills Palestinians Healthcare still isn't secured as Republicans try to gut ACA SNAP is still in danger as Trump is blocking it to Blue states Hegseth is still SOW despite killing fishermen Epstein files still aren't released as Trump's DOJ is delaying

My message to Trump: Your message of bigotry won’t work. Somali Americans are here to stay. 💅🏾

thank you to everyone who joined us in front of the White House today. So many reasons to protest against this Administration's deadly and unlawful actions, fueling the #AIDS pandemic. Grateful for the power of activism. #WorldAIDSDay #WAD2025 healthgap.org/press/world-...

This World AIDS Day, we remember the hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers lost to HIV and AIDS, and those living with HIV today. We must remind ourselves and each other that the fight isn’t over until the epidemic is over for everyone.

I’ll be on reporting internationally on @democracynow.org tomorrow for the first time, live from Kampala, Uganda. I’ll be talking to Amy Goodman about our @pulitzercenter.org - Fund for Investigative Journalism series for @theintercept.com. Tune in!

1/ For six months, I've been traveling the world on Pulitzer Ctr & Fund For Investigative Journalism grants investigating Trump's effect on HIV & LGBTQ health. On World AIDS Day, @theintercept.com is publishing an overview essay of Afeef Nessouli & my findings. theintercept.com/2025/12/01/w...

Remigration is ethnic cleansing, which is a crime against humanity and a form of genocide. That is what the regime is signaling. That is what it is wants.

Open enrollment for Medicare has begun and runs through December 7th. Have questions? Join me and Illinois enrollment experts for a workshop tonight: ushr.zoomgov.com/webinar/regi...

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Just a reminder.

The original Dem demands were: 1) Permanent ACA subsidies 2) Medicaid funding restored 3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission) They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today. The Senate Democrats!

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Shutting it down for the night with this post from a comrade in Chicago: 🎶"I wish I could give you this feeling. I wish I could give you this feeling."🎶

Happy Saturday everyone! I have a jewelry shop at nora.jewelry! I'm also drawing fruit/veg for people who donate $50 to @wingsndnsilver.bsky.social for SNAP replacement grocery gift cards; I'll do up to 20 of those this weekend. See thread for details and quotes of this post for availability.

I’ve never seen a president so determined to starve Americans.

It turns out you can’t indict a Ham Sandwich.

I love the little free pantry library things, but please remember that canned foods are hard for a lot of people for a lot of reasons, and if you are going to stock cans, stick to ones with pop tabs. Please remember the varied needs of the real people experiencing food insecurity.

Seems the ADL is creating a Canary Mission-like project specifically to police the ideology of Zohran’s hires. h/t @jacobkornbluh.bsky.social @petersterne.com

So to follow Zohran, they got Newsom's post-Prop 50 speech on MSNBC and it's just not fair.

Always good when an antisemite decides which Jews are stupid

5/5 Zohran Mamdani’s reaches the 7,000 miles from Kampala to Kips Bay. His campaign was built on achieving justice from Gaza to Gowanus. He has is poised to unite ppl across the world - American, Ugandan, LGBTQ, straight, Black, white, Asian, Latinx, Muslim, Christian, Hindu, Jewish. Vote well, NYC!

If you live in these states, here's where to vote -- Virginia: www.elections.virginia.gov/casting-a-ba... New Jersey: voter.svrs.nj.gov/polling-plac... Pennsylvania: www.pa.gov/services/vot... California: www.sos.ca.gov/elections/po... New York: vote.nyc/page/find-yo...

SNAP funding runs out tomorrow, but Trump refuses to use the funds available to extend this program during the shutdown. Now, 42 million Americans, including 16 million children, could lose the food assistance they depend on. This isn't a partisan issue, it's a moral one.

Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.

So please take heart. There's no way to measure the good you are doing, but you're doing it. Don't stop. And please be gentle with yourselves. The bad guys aren't done yet, and neither are we.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Here is a comprehensive list of why people on SNAP, are on SNAP: 1. They need food assistance. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

The evidence of Andrew Cuomo's Islamophobia is substantially greater than the evidence of Zohran Mamdani's antisemitism, and the former deserves far more media coverage than it is getting.

okay so WE WANT YOU TO HAVE THIS my gifts for trans people program will be open for applications in just a little over 2 hours, at 9AM Mountain. if you are trans and want something in my shop but can't afford it for any reason, this page nora.jewelry/pages/we-wan... has the info and links.

"More aid has entered Gaza since the ceasefire, but nutritious food, medical supplies and shelter materials remain catastrophically scarce, including in Gaza City, where experts declared a famine in August." www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Food aid has never been cut off during a shut down. Secretary Rollins is refusing to use USDA emergency funds for SNAP. She was also the one who said no amnesty for farm workers because all the “able bodied” Medicaid recipients can do their jobs. They want us sick, hungry, scared & poor.

If members of the United States military are truly being paid their salaries by a private individual, the American people should know who that individual is. Now.

Voter suppression. Trump and MAGA are planning for permanent power. All in front of us. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/24/u...

I don't know how I can possibly emphasize this any more, but when you wait to endorse until the very end — after aaaallllll the other people have already endorsed — you are, by definition, literally, a FOLLOWER, not a leader. Jeffries should be stripped of his title. Give it to someone who leads.

Mamdani: "There are 12 days remaining until Election Day. I will be a Muslim man in NYC each of those 12 days and every day that follows after that. I will not change who I am, how I eat, or the faith that I am proud to call my own."

Mamdani: "And while I appreciate all who have rushed to my defense over the past few days, I think of those Muslims in this city who do not have the luxury of being the Democratic nominee, who do not have the luxury of being deemed worthy of solidarity."

What on Orwell’s green earth is a “figurative” bounty?

I kid you not, this is currently what the White House's "Major Events Timeline" shows for the East Wing expansion. www.whitehouse.gov/about-the-wh...

If you want to find a local food bank, you can use the website below. If you’re donating, it’s best to donate money. If you want to donate food, PLEASE donate food you or your family would actually eat, including things like breakfast cereals and snack foods. www.feedingamerica.org/find-your-lo...

I lived with my dad when I was very young and he didn’t apply for food stamps or free school lunches, though we qualified. So, I went hungry. It was awful. I begged neighbors for saltine crackers. I can say it was the worst time of my life. Children shouldn’t go hungry. Restore SNAP benefits.

‼️‼️‼️ Got word of a new way the billionaire in charge of SSA is fucking over the American people!!!! TLDR: This will definitely lead to people applying for benefits losing out on money, and probably some hefty lawsuits for attorneys that know what’s up. The long version is gonna be long so let’s go.

“These are deliberate cuts that would strip away a lifeline for too many Americans” - @seemiaroll.bsky.social, @americanprogress.bsky.social Keeping our eyes are on this one, and the devastating repercussions this could have. #CareNotCuts www.americanprogress.org/press/releas...

School can be challenging for kids with disabilities. There’s ableism, discrimination and bullying. Chronically ill kids are just learning what their “normal” looks like, and they need and deserve the support to adapt. These cuts are going to harm kids in the poorest (and reddest) areas the most

Always a good time to review the medical v. social models of disability! “Secretary McMahon has suggested that oversight of IDEA funding could be better positioned in the Department of Health and Human Services, rather than at her agency.” www.usatoday.com/story/news/e...
