📢 As SNCC once reminded us, healthcare is a human right. Let’s continue to fight for systems rooted in justice, care, and community.

Drawing attention to what happens to dogs is excellent strategy. Also, IMNSHO, cruelty to animals is a reliable predictor of cruelty to people. Violent, insecure bullies usually literally start small.

Judge rules Trump policy to deport students over pro-Palestinian views is unconstitutional Judge ruled that non-citizens have the same free speech rights as US citizens under the first amendment

Here’s hoping the Supreme Court won’t rule to the contrary, declare the earth is flat, or that 2+2=24 if the President says so.

Unions are handing Democrats a golden opportunity amid the shutdown battle | Judith Levine Federal workers’ move offers Democrats a chance to win the budget battle – and their identity

“government shutdown is never Plan A” the letter reads. “Federal workers & the communities we serve will face severe hardship. But federal workers will willingly forego paychecks in the hopes of preserving the programs we have devoted our lives to administering.”

Bold text that says: 
REPUBLICANS WANT TO SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT
WHY? THEY'D RATHER SHUT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT THAN SAVE YOUR HEALTH CARE.
BUT WE'RE IN A HEALTH CARE CRISIS:
15 MILLION PEOPLE ARE GOING TO LOSE THEIR HEALTH CARE.
MILLIONS ARE ABOUT TO SEE THEIR PREMIUMS SKYROCKET.
IT'S SIMPLE:
DEMOCRATS THINK PEOPLE DESERVE
HEALTH CARE.

Text that reads:

Kimmel: “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang trying to characterize this kid who killed Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.  In between the finger-pointing, the White House flew the flag at half-staff, which got some criticism, but on a human level, you can see how hard the president was taking this.”
