β€œThere are times when it is better to stand alone than not stand at all.

This President is disrupting the healthcare system. He is all but defying court orders.

At some point, we’re all going to have to stand up.”

- Rep. @algreen.house.gov, after being removed from the House chamber, 3/4/25

A reporter asks Trudeau about Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly’s characterization of the current U.S. situation which she called a "psychodrama."

"How would you characterize it?"

Trudeau, speaking for a weary nation, β€œThursday."

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

β€œIn Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Medicaid is not for sale.
NASA is not for sale.
The Post Office is not for sale.
America is not for sale.

We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Jasmine Crockett, after accusing colleagues of castrating their Constitutional duty, said, β€œMy job is to make sure we don’t have any kings or queens in this country, but it seems like you all have decided it’s going to be Mr. King and his queen. And y’all can pick which one is which.”

It is Congress’s constitutional authority to approve funds so they should be allowed in and get Elon out of there.

HOLD UP.

Did Trump just say he will put tariffs on medications?

Americans already pay more for prescription medications than anywhere in the world - and he wants us to pay EVEN MORE?

Americans want cheaper drug prices. Trump is giving us higher taxes instead.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Idgaf I’m still fighting for guaranteed healthcare.

Aspiration is the answer. Not just β€œwe’re not the bad guys.”

We need something more meaningful than that. I want a future worth fighting for. They have no vision. We do. Lean into our strengths and knock them out. πŸ‘ŠπŸ½

Three years ago, the Luddite Club was started by a group of Brooklyn teenagers to fight social media’s grip on young people. The members used flip phones and promoted human connection. Now that the founders are in college, people want to know: Did they stay on the Luddite path? nyti.ms/4jCRS5p

I had polio when i was 9. I was taken from my parents & placed in a Hospital for contageous diseases- the polio ward. I would see them once a week - thru the glass window at the end of my ward. I could not walk. It was terrifying. Kids died. Iron lungs were awful. Dont let RFK Jr ban the vaccine
