Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

"ICE is arresting the worst of the worst." Everything this administration tells us is a lie.

Last week, ICE arrested and separated a father and son after a routine check-in. Six-year-old Yuanxin had just enrolled in the first grade at an elementary school in Astoria. Now he's in custody, alone. ICE won't say where. This cruelty serves no one. It must end.

It’s a sick system. And it has been going on for a while.

Well even with all the insider crap, they can’t seem to manipulate the pricing!

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

It’s not a great deal if you don’t need it. And especially this year, others really need support. So for all of us who have enough, let’s refuse to get sucked into the holiday shopping frenzy and share instead of shop. We don’t need more stuff, we need communities where all our neighbors are safe.

Far from the madding crowd.

Hope every single one of these bigots them have a miserable Thanksgiving and more. Wish them all a life of misery.

Happy Thanksgiving fools. Till we get this regime out of power and the culture it is fomenting wiped out, there will be very little Happy anything! This is so beyond fucked up!

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

CNN: Breaking news… this is big, we have learned that the justice department's case against former FBI director Jim Comey and the New York attorney general have both been dismissed

Is ICE engaging in extrajudicial lynchings now? This has gone so totally out of control and yet a lot of people want to keep their heads down and ignore the sheer dystopia!

“ICE is just targeting brown people who have an accent, snatching people out of their cars” Racial profiling is all they do

US home foreclosures are surging. Cost spikes in insurance, property tax and utilities — plus job losses and interest-rate shocks — are pushing families into default.

Roman Surovtsev was prompt in picking up his two daughters from school every afternoon. It’s important to him to be there for his smiley 3- and 5-year-old girls, peppering them with questions about what they learned and who they played with.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

"It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 members of the United States Senate over $1,000,000 a piece and we are robbing people of their food assistance and healthcare to pay for it. How is this even on the floor!?" Rep. AOC

Man, every single member of the Trump regime should die painful deaths. Even if it is means waiting for decades.

@democrats.org this is for you. Are you paying attention to what your base feels?

A picture that captures my state of mind right now perfectly. Wish had the energy to add the quisling 8 and @schumer.senate.gov to this pic!

Every single person in Little Village fighting ICE/BP this week, each one of those people had more courage than the entire party leadership put together. Every single person in the street resisting in LA, Portland, Chicago, they're ALL showing more backbone than useless top tiers of Dem apparatus

Go to hell @schumer.senate.gov

I am so jealous of Americans skeeting about sports tonight.

If #ACA subsidies are not passed, approximately 22 MILLION people who currently have Marketplace coverage cld see an UNAFFORDABLE spikes in their premium. Dems sold the American ppl. to the fascist regime. Truly an inflection point.

@washingtonpost.com had gone full fascist!

It is the responsibility of all of us to return the nation to a path that is morally sustainable.

As I mentioned at my talk today for the @stanfordaaup.bsky.social teach-in, over 4,500 federal grants have been terminated at over 600 institutions. Those grants are valued at~$8B, with ~$3.5B being stolen from universities when those grants were terminated. The type of grants terminated varies +

So Elon Musk came in after a rigged election with a fully illegitimate DOGE, dismantled our government, stole our money, sold our data, gave himself government contracts, and now he’ll become a trillionaire. See how that works?

This is an all hands on deck moment to save health care. If you got a notice this month that your health insurance premium is going up by $500 or maybe even $1,000, send me your story: www.warren.senate.gov/health-care-...
