Being regular sick on top of chronic illness sick is just rude.

Came home from work with a headache so bad that i immediately had to lie down. this time of year is not for me.

Annnnd. A reminder that even as we speak, marriage is NOT equitable in the U.S.; disabled people cannot marry for fear of losing benefits, immigrants marrying citizens are so heavily scrutinized, etc. And many states still allow for anti LGBTQ+ discrimination, which marriage does nothing to protect.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

So many vulnerable people were hurt, harassed and raped by these ghouls and now—I’m worried—it’s gonna become hehe haha lurid internet circus instead of a long overdue moral reckoning. I’m scared of who we all are becoming. That man has brought us ALL low.

Keep pushing for the Epstein files and we are going to get universal healthcare and equal rights amendment out of trump lmaoooo

imagine a world in which we never had to hear about tr*mp at all. imagine it all fizzled out after the apprentice.

😎😎😎😎 GOOD THINGS CAN STILL HAPPEN 😎😎😎😎

Thank you, New York City. Together we made history. Now let’s get to work. transition2025.com

oh my god i am so tired of people labeling neurodivergence or struggles with executive function as “insecurity.” struggling to make a decision doesn’t automatically mean someone is insecure. 🙄

Virginia/ New Jersey understood the assignment

WOW! They called it! Mikie Sherrill wins New Jersey gubernatorial!

In what is the quickest call for governor in modern Virginia history, Abigail Spanberger has been elected the next governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia. When we vote, we win. Congratulations!

OH MY GOD, DDHQ CALLS IT AND DEMS FLIP BOTH STATEWIDE ELECTIONS IN GEORGIA

Every year in November, the “we don’t need to vote, we need a revolution” folks come out of the woodwork. They don’t do anything the other 364 days of the year. They simply want to complain. Voting is the bare minimum. If you have the privilege and ability to do so, you better show up.

AOC: You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to keep people from getting poisoned, from dangerous chemicals  You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to bring down the cost of housing If they want to say that that's a Democratic priority, they're right,

“she should be working,” say crusty old men preventing her from working.

@aoc at the rally for Mamdani Sunday in NYC. “This city was built by the Irish escaping famine, Italians fleeing fascism, Black Americans fleeing slavery and Jim Crow, Latinos seeking a better life, Native people standing for themselves, Asian Americans coming together…” So good!! 🔥

Remember a year ago when we woke up and saw the news and felt a collective sense of dread? Here’s to small hope that this year will be better.

And I would like to challenge this person to get a real job

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?

On the ballot today: -NYC: Mayor -Minneapolis: Mayor -VA: Governor, Lt. Governor, AG, and state House -NJ: Governor -PA: State Supreme Court -GA: Public Service Commission -TX: TX-18 U.S. House -CA: Prop 50 This is a reminder of how crucial it is to vote up AND down the ballot.

We’ve gotten numb to it but Trump threatening NYC voters with federal funding to vote a certain way is the kind of shit that should get him unanimously impeached today. Insane fascist bullshit.

Mamdani on my mind.

“They won’t starve to death in a month! They’ll be fine without SNAP!” You can starve to death in weeks. When you’re malnourished It doesn’t take long for bodily systems to shut down. For chronic illness to develop. It’s cruel to condemn people to slowly starving.

This is the third death that I'm aware of this year where a person died trying to flee from ICE.

taylor swift is just another billionaire. a billionaire is a billionaire. i don’t find her relatable - never have. she is not for us.

ICE and other federal agents conducted a violent, middle-of-the-night raid on an apartment building in Chicago — just days after Trump said the military should go after “the enemy within.” He and his cronies are building a police state piece by piece. https://youtu.be/5zrye_p-EPI?si=VinP3uxFa9_JiN8X

If any other president said something like this in a speech to a military academy, it would be a massive scandal. Instead, it isn’t among the ten most dangerous things he’s done this week.

A disturbed man and his fanatical advisors are making potentially life-threatening decisions on the basis of what he sees on television. We should all be very concerned. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-trump-gets-and-processes-information

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance. Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn. We have been sent here to fight for people.

AOC: When everyone says makes an exception here or makes an exception there, and then before you know it, you have masked agents roaming the streets of this country that do not feel entitled to identify themselves

The government is in full shutdown and the Republicans are refusing to call the House back into session. Want to know why? Because we have secured the final vote on releasing the Epstein Files and they don’t want it out. Call GOP and tell them to swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social.

My employer New York Public Radio just announced that it is offering @onthemedia.bsky.social, @radiolab.bsky.social, and other programs to at-risk public radio stations for free! More info: current.org/2025/09/wnyc...

This is really bad. It won’t get the popular opposition the Kimmel incident did, but it’s way more sweeping and authoritarian. This is an effort to bring the full force of government down on any and all opposition to this administration. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Exactly. Felony 47 should be impeached.

On this we agree wholeheartedly.

Let's be clear: no one should be taking medical advice from the man who told Americans to inject bleach. To moms worried about the Tylenol they took while pregnant: you deserve better than being RFK Jr's scapegoat. And to the autism community: you are loved exactly as you are.

Good morning! Who STILL thinks the Justice Deptartment needs to release all of the Epstein files now?

The need to silence your critics only reveals how weak and fragile you are.

If the vaccine isn’t covered under the federal program, some families would face higher out-of-pocket costs or have to get the vaccines separately instead of the single combined shot. That would lower convenience and reduce uptake, which would, in turn, leave more children unprotected!

after several members acknowledged they had misunderstood the wording of the original proposal. What a mess, they are so under qualified they don’t even understand the wording. This is dangerous. That means federal funding wouldn’t cover it, not that the vaccine is unsafe or unavailable.

The federal vaccine advisory panel, appointed by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., voted against adding a combined measles, mumps, rubella, and chickenpox vaccine to a federal program that covers vaccination costs. The decision reversed a vote taken the previous day,

“People are allowed to have opinions!” Let me help you out. “I think apples taste better than oranges” is an opinion. “I think other genders/races/religions should have fewer rights than others” is bigotry.

if you’re MAGA, you shouldn’t be in the social work/mental health field at this point.

never had it anyway. 🤷🏼

Punishing college students for protesting him. Pressuring TV networks to fire late night talk show hosts for criticizing him. Suing newspapers for reporting he doesn’t like. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

This is fucking horrifying.
