The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Take a picture at the protest and post it to your substack so your grandchildren will be proud about how you took a stand against Nazis.

I often cringe when people ask dumb questions or the questions they know the answers to. 🙄😂

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!

TACO’s minions will forgive him ANYTHING.

They are stupidly, morally rutterless people.

That’s not why he is scared of the Epstein files.

He’s afraid because the money laundering and other money scandals will piss off people who do care and who can and will take revenge.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants.

Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this.

Do not.

Wonder how sexual predator Brett Kavanaugh and sexual predator Clarence Thomas will vote on the fate of sexual predator Ghislaine Maxwell.

Here’s a 🔥🔥exchange between me and Mick Mulvaney during @mehdirhasan.bsky.social's brilliant interview of Mulvaney on Al Jazeera's Head to Head. The whole episode is worth a watch, and you can find it on @aljazeera.com's YouTube channel.

Virginia Giuffre’s brother: I think we were shocked by it—especially the use of the term “stolen.” Because she’s not an object. She’s a person. Someone who was recruited at Mar-a-Lago—his property… it just kind of makes us wonder… how much he knew

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.

For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

I’m told that the WSJ article about the Trump letter to Epstein is just the tip of the iceberg. “The dam is breaking”.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL: Rep. Jasmine Crockett is NOT playing games. She wants Pam Bondi UNDER OATH in front of Congress.

Because if you lied about Epstein’s files, you’re not just a fraud—you’re an accessory to the cover-up of a global sex trafficking ring.

Crockett: Earlier someone was talking about cities being hellholes. Los Angeles contributes almost 20 billion in taxes. That’s more than all states in this country except for four.

ICE agents are kinda like vampires. 🧛🏻‍♂️

They can only come into certain spaces. At most workplaces they can only be in *public* not *private* spaces.

These baddies from Organized Power in Numbers are helping small businesses like bars and cafes ICE-proof their workspaces and keep their staff safe.

Humanity is the highest form of development, and empathy is the real test of leadership. Watching politicians fumble basic compassion while preaching “family values” tells you everything. This isn’t about policy—it’s about power with no soul. #Pinks

“The two weather-service offices that issued alerts in the region have been hit by federal cutbacks in recent months.”

Black kids were lab rats.
Sterilized. Infected. Forgotten.

Gov’t-backed experiments.
Tuskegee was just one.

Erased exposes the truth they hid—
and the system still profiting from us.

Surprisingly effective things Zohran Mamdani ran on:
-free buses
-rent freeze
-halal cart for $8 instead of $10
-taxing the 1%
-no cost childcare
-city-owned grocery stores
-a Department Of Community Safety for mental health programs and crisis response
-building affordable housing
-why Cuomo sucks

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

Fun FACT: welfare was created for white people.

It was part of the New Deal legislation, and of course, Black people were not included in that.

It was only when, by EXECUTIVE ORDER, the federal government prohibited segregation in government programs, that Black people got access to it.

They’re not banning books because they’re dangerous—They’re banning them because they expose the truth.

📚 Erased tells the history they tried to bury—& now they’re coming for it. If it’s “too dangerous to teach,” you need to read it.

I cannot express how infuriating it is to hear white men state that we went “too far” on social issues.

What the FUCK is too far?

I need chapter, verse and footnotes about what is sufficiently far and what is too far in correcting 400+ years of EVIL, abusive, injustice.
