Let America be America again. Let it be the dream it used to be. (…) Let America be the dream the dreamers dreamed— Let it be that great strong land of love Where never kings connive nor tyrants scheme That any man be crushed by one above. (It never was America to me.) Langston Hughes, 1995 🧵⬇️

“… the [Bill Gates] memo is dangerously shortsighted in two ways: it fails to recognize that climate change is part of a broader ecological crisis, and it perpetuates zero-sum thinking regarding finance that pits human well-being against cutting emissions.”

Trump and Republicans went to court to try to steal food assistance form 42 million people ahead of the holidays. Do not forget this.

Two federal courts agree that emergency SNAP fund benefits must be paid NOW. The Trump administration must act with the same speed and seriousness to get food benefits to our people that it has acted with to deport immigrants, destroy public health and bulldoze the White House. NOW.

Trump and Republicans in Congress are willing to let 16 million kids in America go hungry to make a political point. Disgusting. Mr. President: Release the SNAP emergency funds that Congress appropriated.

This thread is so helpful. Thank you 🙏🏻

Americans are sick of skipping doctor’s appointments, rationing medicine & delaying lifesaving surgeries because health care is so expensive. If we don’t act now, millions of Americans will lose their health insurance. Dems are fighting to protect our people & reopen the government.

The Trump Administration LIED??? You don’t say.

At a time when 1 in 4 children in Nevada don’t know where their next meal is going to come from, the Trump administration is refusing to use contingency funds to ensure Nevada families are fed. Too many Nevadans are already struggling just to get by. That’s why I’m taking Trump to court.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Republicans are ripping healthcare away from 15 million Americans, doubling premiums for 20 million, and refusing to release emergency SNAP funding needed to keep millions fed. Once again, Republicans are proving themselves as the party of billionaires and corporate interests.

Thanks @aprilcore.bsky.social for this disinformation buster! Appreciate you and your truth-telling work! 🫶

Thousands of Nevadans took to streets and sidewalks Saturday to peacefully protest President Donald Trump and air myriad grievances against his administration...

Rep. Dina Titus: “I think that Republicans will not agree to open up the government until Trump says to do it. They just do what he says. Until he makes that determination, I don’t see anything happening.” @titus.house.gov

SNAP benefits are running out despite POTUS's ability to keep funding flowing, and families are going hungry. Meanwhile, POTUS moves forward with his big, BS ballroom. What a contrast in priorities.

I am strongly urging Secretary Rollins to follow through with USDA’s government shutdown contingency plan to keep SNAP funds flowing. The Administration’s refusal to use SNAP reserves leaves millions of families hungry.

Trump's destroyed the East Wing of the White House to create a $300 million golden ballroom funded by bribes that he'll use to keep fishing for more bribes from corporations and billionaires.

Sadistic psychopaths. 🤬

Amazon's plan to replace 600,000 workers with AI and robots could save it $10 billion on top of billions more in tax breaks. Today, I demanded answers from Jeff Bezos: Will you simply dump these workers out on the street, or will you treat them with the dignity they deserve?

Thousands of flight delays because of the shutdown. Republicans get to go on vacation. Meanwhile, you get stuck in the airport.

Polka dots, jammies, & frogs Images have power. “As the citizens of the United States…begin to process living under a government that’s willing to set its military on its own people, where are the iconic images of this era? Who’ll inspire us, & how will they be remembered?” Anand Giridharadas

This ballroom was made for Trump and his donor friends – not for you.

Centrism NYT-style:

Great question! Rhetorical, right?

I believe that there are more in MAGA than we realize who are quietly leaving, or having doubts. We can’t control how another thinks, but we can be there for those in MAGA when they begin to question their beliefs and fidelity to the movement.

“Republicans have embraced the destruction of the modern government, slashing SNAP benefits, Medicaid, cancer research, FEMA, & so on. Democrats are defending the government that has been in place since the 1930s, focused on leveling the playing field between the very wealthy& ordinary Americans.”

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee. But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education. A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

@governor.ca.gov is a hoot! 😄

Donald Trump's masked agents believe that their actions are immune from investigation or accountability — they're not. I've signed an Executive Order today establishing the Illinois Accountability Commission to create a public record and capture the impact on our communities.

PRECISELY. He is tearing our government down now in full view.

While you’re paying more for groceries, Trump is building himself a new ballroom and buying new private jets. You deserve better.

Working families and small businesses are being slammed by Trump’s price-raising tariffs that Joe Lombardo thinks Nevadans should “feel a little pain” from. As Governor, unlike Lombardo, I will put the needs of Nevada families over Trump’s agenda.

Spotify’s founder, Daniel Ek, is another techno-fascist billionaire. He’s invested in AI that specializes in war, surveillance and violence, so it’s no surprise he’s fine with running ICE ads on Spotify. If you haven’t already, cancel your Spotify subscriptions. Let’s make them feel like Disney+.
