Ireland pays artists a living wage. The United States impregnates its children and lets them starve. — First world country my ass.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving: $100 billion Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%: $100 billion One is decried as "welfare." One is not. Why?

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

If you live in the Bradenton area of Florida ..people and businesses are showing extraordinary acts of kindness and empathy.

In Durango, Colorado, ICE GOONS violently assaulted an elderly woman during a peaceful protest. They stole her phone, grabbed her by the hair, and threw her down a hill.

Data centers are receiving billions in state tax exemptions. These centers, many owned by Big Tech giants, are driving up electric bills and sucking up huge amounts of water. AI is boosting the stock portfolios of the richest Americans while everyone else pays the price.

“Medical staff did not give her any food, water, or pain medication for several hours. Much later that evening, after a significant loss of blood, Lucia was transported to an emergency room approximately an hour away, with her arms and legs shackled.” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Not a basketball court or a bowling alley. Republicans sound ridiculous making that comparison. This isn’t an “upgrade” to the White House, it’s a monument to himself. Trump has no intention of ever leaving — he’s building his own palace and tearing down the entire East Wing to make it happen.

They’re not redistricting — they’re preparing the battlefield. If Trump gets 5 extra seats in Congress, he’ll have the votes to declare emergency rule in any city that dares to dissent. #YesOnProp50

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Chapeau to France for holding corrupt politicians accountable. When TF will it be our own corrupt politicians’ time to face justice?!

CHICAGO: “They took my son. He’s only 16. I just want my baby back.”

The whole world is watching and they are standing with us. Please share! #ResistFascism ♥️🌎♥️

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them. By @nicolefoy.bsky.social

This is what solidarity looks like. Together, we will win.

#ProudBlue Bingo! This is so on point. They are fighting like entitled rich boys. They say that women are emotional, but all I see are emotional & childish men fighting. Always projection towards women

The Trump regime canceled Moderna’s contract to develop a bird flu vaccine, saying it “was not scientifically or ethically justifiable”. This is not just a RFK Jr anti-vax crusade. This entire regime does not care about human life. These fascists are content with mass death.

The arrest of Mayor Ras Baraka is a wake-up call for all of us. We must recognize the danger of Trump's authoritarian tactics and stand together to fight back against his attacks on democracy and human rights.

Dr. Marvin Dunn, raised during the Jim Crow era, speaks about his experiences, where he faced pervasive racial segregation and discrimination of the time. Dr. Dunn is a distinguished historian, author, and professor emeritus at Florida International University. #MomSky

I am embarrassed to be an American in 2025. Zelensky got more criticism for not wearing a suit by this man than Putin did for killing tens of thousands of innocent Ukrainian people, what a coward he is.

That they got real mad about ‘defund the police’ but not ‘defund education, healthcare, cancer research, the EPA, the weather service, PBS, and Social Security’ tells you everything you need to know about what kind of country they want to live in

Fortunately, and for now, Japan is a net buyer of US treasuries. www.barrons.com/articles/tre...

SULLIVAN: “I do not care about the economy if the government claims it can break down anyone's doors, seize anyone with no due process, put them on a plane, and send them to a foreign jail… that is fundamental to this country.” 🇺🇸

This energy right here.

Americans: We’d like to afford basic necessities, keep vital programs, and not lose our retirement savings. Trump: Best I can do is a car commercial for the richest man on Earth.
