Watch live: The @workingfamilies.org State of the Union Response, delivered by @summerlee.bsky.social:

There’s still an occupation on our state by the federal government. We’re still asking community to patrol and observe the illegal actions committed by ICE. Please continue to support our neighbors with mutual aid. Our neighbors are struggling to stay afloat. Ask your electeds to do better.

We're blown away by the support from across the country! Thank you. 🙏 A note on what we do: we're a 6-person volunteer team. We dig into public records and build tools and reporting communities can use to organize and resist. We aren't national rapid response coordinators or live spotters. ➡️

Fact check: the OBBBA did NOT eliminate taxes on Social Security. In fact, it does nothing to help lower- and middle-income seniors--but it does harm Social Security's financing. #CBPPSOTU www.cbpp.org/blog/contrar...

Of course it's the people of color again having to say things... the white Democrats in that room are sitting on their hands.

Repeating racist rhetoric, the president has claimed that the city, which is nearly 45% Black, has been “overtaken by violent gangs and bloodthirsty criminals.” The city police department released data showing that crime is at a 30-year low in the nation’s capital. bit.ly/40tjUrL

Rep. Ilhan Omar shouts repeatedly at Trump: "You have killed Americans!"

Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib heckle Trump as he goes full fear-mongering white nationalist

It will never not be funny that that man has a crush on Mamdani and Mamdani hates him.

democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly

On the big bad budget betrayal, it cut Medicaid by over $900 billion dollars--harming health care costs, coverage, care, and our communities. Over 15 million more are estimated to lose coverage. Premiums have doubled just this January as a deliberate decision of the current Congress and President.

Good night innernets. (Your daily Rumdangle, using Reverb as his dangle base.)

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically. Importance attached to names. In many of the Cherokee ceremonies and spells, especially relating to love

Be pissed at the Mayor for underfunding the public libraries not for any statements made or not made about a snowball fight and NYPD's bitching. Disciplined focus.

So... does anyone care about this? That Michael B. Jordan's parents flew to London to see their son and they left the BAFTAs in tears? That he was repulsed? Still don't think an apology was owed? Some of you people are wretched fools.

you guys have given over $8,000 in your quest to possess this demon

Until this country reckons with police and policing, nothing will improve.
