Tell Congress Right Now: Pass the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act

Americans: "holy fuck our economy is crumbling and food pantries are already struggling to meet demand" Apple: "how about a $150 pouch to put your phone in, $230 if you're fat or tall" Capitalism needs to be destroyed.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility. Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

🔥 @agiftfromtodd.bsky.social : "Y’all get it now?? Do you understand what’s possible? I don't wanna hear no more 'my vote doesn't matter. Nothing ever changes.' Look what happens when you participate. We win everything. There are more of us… for the rest of your damn life, you gotta vote.”

This imagined defense by Cheney ("What I Got Right About the Iraq War") from The Onion in 2023 ought to run as a sidebar to every obit that's published this week: is.gd/mzdB9j

If anyone needs help finding food banks near them try this website. Findhelp.org it works around the country and all you have to do is type in your zip code. Please repost, you may not need help but someone else may.

The right is pushing a racist lie about who uses SNAP to justify ending a program that 42 million Americans rely on. Instead of blaming our neighbors, we should be looking up.

ladies and gentlemen...we got him

BREAKING: A federal court ruled that the FDA's unnecessary restrictions on medication abortion are unlawful and must be reconsidered. This ​decision reaffirms that our access to safe and essential medicines should be dictated by science, not politics.

There’s a lot things to be upset about these days, but I cannot express how genuinely sad this makes me. We lost a good one today. I’ll do some twirling for you my friend. #wmmr #pierrerobert 6abc.com/amp/post/leg...

WOW! The Washington Post obtained the rest of the body cam footage showing that the drunk-driving ICE agent promised to check if the arresting officer's partner was Haitian. "I’m going to run some checks when I get back." He added that he would have him deported if "not legit."

#FoodInsecurity #SNAP #FoodStamps #HungryKids If you don’t want it need it, cool. Give it to someone that does need or want it. McDonald’s is already a beneficiary in the MILLIONS of taxpayer subsidies #SocialismForTheRich

Being dependent on a medication because it works and treats/manages your symptoms, is absolutely not the same thing as an addiction. This distinction is super important, and needs to be better understood by public and healthcare alike.

The day clownish Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton files a ridiculous, performative lawsuit against Tylenol seems a good day to re-post this:

Reminder:

What did people do before SNAP?” They died. Healthcare, vaccines, disability support, education & food assistance are vital to our survival. They’re why the average lifespan isn’t 35 anymore The mark of a good & decent society is whether it sees the value in helping others.

Things are going to be hard for families who rely on SNAP benefits in a few days. Someone sent this to Mom. This could be a small help for those families. Needless to say, Mom is stopping at the grocery today to get some of these things.

15.7 million workers (≈ 10% of all workers) lived in households where someone participated in SNAP in the last year. (CBPP) It's a SCANDAL that corporations get away with paying their workers poverty wages while taxpayers subsidize their profits!!

Overstaying its welcome. Making New Yorkers’ days grimmer. Something we should relegate to the past. No, we're not talking about Andrew Cuomo. We're talking about scaffolding. Today we released our plan to take it down more quickly.

It's the guns 💯%

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification. I glanced down at the message. “Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began. So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

Frogs in slowly heating water is a popular allegory for being unaware that you are being destroyed in an incrementally worsening situation. But I'm drawing hope from the past week that we frogs may be a bit more aware of our situation than those allegorical frogs. #Hop

This man is a god damn treasure and I wish I could vote for him.

I urge our nation to use this weekend's No Kings marches as a declaration of independence against the tyranny and lawlessness currently running this country. Use your voice. ACT PEACEFULLY. Protect yourself and your community. THERE ARE NO KINGS IN THE UNITED STATES.

That speech was simply appalling. Glad veterans in Congress are speaking out.

Swear her in.
