Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

Did you know that in Canada, if a budget doesn’t pass the government doesn’t shut down? Federal workers aren’t furloughed. Funding for social services doesn’t dry up. Failure to pass a budget triggers an election. It puts the politicians jobs on the line. They get the budget passed.

I’ll be the Luddite here: get rid of most of Ed Tech, especially for younger kids. www.instagram.com/p/DQweCeTDPB...

The economy’s more than just weak for regular folks. It’s brutal. But if you’re a billionaire or a ballroom contractor, it’s the best of times.

Punky learned how to turn on the heating pad. She hides it under the table, turns it on, and sits on it. 😂 #cat

Awww, look at the edge lord. 🙄

The reduction in air traffic could affect up to 4,000 flights daily, according to NBC News.

A hero ain’t nothin’ but a sandwich (thrower)…

Me: What should my pick six (books) be? Students: Do you have any books to explain why everyone’s broke? Me: ta-da #books #bookshelflife #bookrecommendations #politicaleconomy

Looks like the Cold War on science is turning hot. #harvardmedicalschool 😮 www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/...

I’m still shocked that stories like this which come out daily still get largely ignored. The most corrupt person to ever hold any public office in US history. I will keep posting them every day and try to amplify them, even when most media doesn’t care. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

The government is choosing tricks not treats as they let SNAP expire. Check out our campfire edition of the Civic Flame on why this is bad for morality, economics, and so much more. #thecivicflame #snap #shutdown #halloween #podcast podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

Change approved.

I’ve made some great connections on LinkedIn, but the AI content has already led to enshittification. With the continuing downgrade as well as the silencing of women’s voices I’m not sure if it’s worth it anymore. #enshittification #linkedin #ai #aiisbuiltontheft www.bitdefender.com/en-us/blog/h...

Starbucks' outrageous CEO-to-worker pay gap might make you spit out your morning coffee. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

This is not normal, and for those hoping it will just go away, it will not. The best day to stop this lawless horror show was yesterday. But it needs to stop.

What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible. Not hyperbole: Jamaica is facing a generational catastrophic event.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

Churches, charities & family are not a substitute for SNAP They can help but they’re not accessible to everyone They can’t scale up to support an influx of 42 million people The government could easily fund SNAP, they’re choosing not to They’re choosing to let people starve

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

We’re in the civil liberties section of my course when we move to civil liberties post-9/11. Where were you? What stands out? What would you tell 18-20 year olds about the differences between now and then? #september11 #civilliberties #wherewereyou #students

“That’s what we’re seeing with the disparity in how the C-suite is treated in the courts, and how regular people are treated in the streets.” Former FTC Commissioner @bedoyausa.bsky.social exposes Trump’s two-tiered justice system.

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

What's it like inside your head?

When your in-laws are New England farmers… I guess I’ll be making pumpkin related meals this week. (Apple for size comparison!) On the #recipe list: pumpkin risotto, pumpkin pie, pumpkin scones. Things I might try to make up: pumpkin tacos? Pumpkin ice cream? #pumpkin #fallvibes #fallrecipes

In case you missed it, President of the United States Donald Trump has ordered live ammunition to be fired from the Pacific Ocean onto Californian soil on No Kings Day in what is clearly no more than a pretext to threaten any patriotic American who believes Donald Trump should not be a king

If free health care for life is good enough for all of our politicians, then it should be good enough for all of its citizens also! NATIONAL HEALTHCARE FOR THE PEOPLE. No one should be denied medical services recommended by a doctor. ***EVER***

Marginalized groups are ALWAYS the litmus test. Every time people succeed in demonizing a group of Americans, more Americans suffer. I truly hate seeing this happen, but the second the GOP was successful in demonizing trans people, it was only a matter of time before others were next.

The co-founding member of the band was known as the Spaceman and had a hit single of his own in "New York Groove."

I reminded my students yesterday that as bad as 2008 was, at least we knew about it. Given the billionaire ownership of the news today, I'm not sure we'd know if we were in the next Great Depression.
