Did Tuesday not unequivocally let Democrats know WE WANT THEM TO FIGHT?

Emailed my U.S. Representative @dorismatsui.bsky.social, my Senators @schiff.senate.gov and @padilla.senate.gov, and Senate Minority Leader @schumer.senate.gov begging them not to cave on the ACA subsidies.

DO NOT CAVE for meaningless Republican promises! @schiff.senate.gov and @padilla.senate.gov and @dorismatsui.bsky.social

What’s draining tax dollars isn’t SNAP, it’s corporate welfare and billionaire tax breaks. FACT: Even people working two jobs still need SNAP. Where’s the outrage about that?!

Great explainer on why Prop 50 is imperative to fight trump. youtu.be/A4HxgFNrHK8

An icon.

My Yes on 50 vote is in and counted!

Over 71 million Americans are paid less than a living wage, and are forced into social safety nets like SNAP. If you think too many people are receiving SNAP benefits, don’t shame them. Shame their employers paying them poverty wages and forcing taxpayers to subsidize the rest.

Studies show that when families who receive SNAP benefits have an able bodied adult, 89% of the time this person is employed Which indicates many corporations don’t pay workers a living wage-and are thus subsidized by SNAP-yet somehow Republicans never mention this when they cry about “socialism”

You know who the real freeloaders in this country are? Not people who rely on SNAP, but corporations whose business model depends on wages so low that taxpayers have to feed their workers.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live. Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps: * Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled * Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Good content!

Other trans journalists have also covered Mamdani’s incredible ad. It was so meaningful to so many.

🚨 Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago answers this question brilliantly. 1/2

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US. 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚕. 𝚆𝚎 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚆𝚒𝚗.

Pulitzer winner Percival Everett linked book bans to fascism — and reminded us why every page turned is resistance. “When we read, we become critical. We’re open to ideas. We think,” he said. “And that’s what fascists do not want us to do." wordinblack.com/2025/10/perc...

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but your belief that a bookshelf with a rolling ladder will fix you is a valid one. Anyone who tells you otherwise is not worthy of your friendship.

Moved to California from Florida all alone in 1985 at age 18. Smartest thing I’ve ever done.

Charlie Kirk’s “work” was to spread hate. No. We don’t need to continue that. Read the room, Governor.

I do not agree that gun deaths are a price we must pay.

You can condemn murder and political violence without whitewashing Charlie Kirk's shameful history of hate, racism, white nationalism and promotion of dangerous conspiracies that radicalized Trump supporters to violence. You can do both.

Murderer.

Brave and powerful statement.

Happy September and Unofficial Last Day of Summer. Bring on the return of cool weather, hot chai lattes, and democracy!

Dear Democratic Leaders, If you won’t stand up for trans people and their rights, you’re tellling me you won’t stand up for *anyone* or *any rights* the second they come under attack. You’re telling me you don’t stand for anything at all. Also, they’re *people*. Grow a spine or get out the way.

I endorse this message!

NEW: Since corporate media won't call for Trump's resignation, I will. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/trump-must...

It bears repeating - when you vote you’re not choosing someone to date you’re picking a bus to get on. If there are only 2 busses, you get on the one going closer to where you want to go. Even if it’s not *that* close.

This is absolutely it.

- Appreciate Newsom Fighting Fire w/ Fire - Appreciate Pritzker Standing Up for Texas Dems - Appreciate Mamdani Bringing Fresh Hope to the Party - Appreciate AOC and Bernie Taking On the Oligarchs We need ALL of these voices now! Let's worry about 2028 after we secure OUR VOTE and DEMOCRACY.

Here’s our playbook, People. It’s time (particularly for my sister white women) to get out of our comfort zones.
