I'm not disappointed because I never bought into her, but I am disappointed someone running for Governor of California thinks this is a winning message.

“Democracy is a system in which parties lose elections”

Cal State Channel Islands philosophy lecturer Jonathan Caravello has just been ACQUITTED of assaulting ICE/CBP last summer while protesting a brutal Ventura County cannabis farm raid! His defense argued he threw a tear gas canister away to protect protesters. The jury acquitted him in two hours.

HUGE: J Street now backs blocking all aid to Israel, including for “defensive” weapons like iron dome Just weeks ago this was a controversial position for Dems, now J Street is backing it. A few years ago a Dem could get censured for holding this position. @aoc.bsky.social moving on this moved...

Good followup, AP!

"During the past decade, voters in four Republican-leaning states — Arizona, Florida, Missouri, and Nebraska — enacted big minimum wage increases." In the four states, "wages rose substantially, while restaurant and retail employment was unaffected." – @arindube.bsky.social

Please stop saying TACO. We’re talking about an ungodly number of people who could die or maimed. It’s not time for cutesy little internet slang. We have to get away from this bizarre desensitization.

BREAKING: Trump announces two week window for Congress to remove him from office

AOC: “This is a threat of genocide & merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing & cannot be trusted. To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat”

what next? what, are we gonna provide *roads* for the wealthy too? gonna have health inspectors keep contaminants out of their groceries? are we just gonna have gutters and sewer systems around rich people's homes?

"Long COVID received 14% of its disability commensurate funding... ME/CFS is the most under-funded condition, receiving <1% of its YLD [years lived with disability] proportionate funding." Plus the LC disability weight of 0.21 likely underestimates its burden. www.nature.com/articles/s43...

Trump was warned this would happen. He did it anyway. Now, over 10,000 Veterans lost their homes. 90,000 more are on track for foreclosure. On top of cutting jobs, slashing benefits and throwing our heroes into an unnecessary war. The most anti-Veteran President in history.

McGovern: He’s doing nothing to make healthcare more accessible. They say we don’t have the money—but we have a billion dollars a day to blow on this crazy war. I don’t think he gives a shit about the American people. Gas prices are skyrocketing, and he’s golfing.

This was tremendous.

Be cautious about what you see posted on social media. Make sure that they reference a journal article. This post, which has been seen by thousands of people, references an ME/CFS study that does not exist.

9 million Americans have ME/CFS. There are still no FDA-approved treatments. This year, Congress can change that. Here's what we're asking for in FY27 appropriations: 🧵

This is not true—driver’s licenses aren’t acceptable under the SAVE Act without additional proof of citizenship. The fact that they keep doing this sleight of hand should make clear that the SAVE Act is not something that “every American gets”

For the same $6 trillion cost, you could crush child poverty with a child allowance and free childcare, fix unemployment insurance, do paid family, sick & medical leave, massively boost ACA subsidies, and eliminate child uninsurance with Medicare for Kids.

If we examine the origins the the war on Iran, we get an inkling of a closed domain of international oligarchs, exploiting the state’s power and patriotic sentiment, while creating a world order in which the American state is much weaker. An oligarchical corridor. snyder.substack.com/p/the-oligar...

tl;dr: more people should watch this gentleman's speech and think seriously about what he is saying bsky.app/profile/slcl...

Statement from SEIU on the Trump Administration’s Unconstitutional Attack Against Iran, Reckless Disregard for Working People’s Lives:

The President has launched an unlawful regime change war with Iran, putting American troops at risk. Congress must return now to vote on the bipartisan War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress and candidate must take action to uphold the Constitution.

Compare AOC's statement to Schumer's. We desperately need to push out those ancient ineffectual Dems in charge.
