SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high.

SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”.

Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers.

People need & deserve assistance

Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich

Be mad about that

The Senate failed to proceed with legislation to pay troops and Department of Defense civilians who continue to work without pay during the government shutdown.

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

Arizona announces they are suing Mike Johnson for refusing to swear in Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva.

She is the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

Yesterday, the Supreme Court heard arguments in Louisiana v. Callais, where state officials seek to redraw Louisiana's congressional map to dilute the voting power of Black voters.

The people of Arizona's 7th Congressional District spoke and they elected @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social to Congress 21 days ago.

Speaker Johnson: Swear her in.

How are you feeling today?

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

This is what "grooming" looks like:

Things to do in the future:

1. Putting them all on trial for crimes against humanity at the Hague

2. Totally reforming entire government to root out corruption and abuse of power so this bullshit never happens again

3. At some point you’d imagine, brunch

Chicago is choosing justice over fear, as it has in the past In 1850, the federal government deputized local officials to enforce slavery. In 2025, it demands cooperation in deportation. Chicago resisted nearly two centuries ago, and it still is today.

🧊 ICE is going after sick or injured patients in Chicago hospitals!

🏥 We need a model citywide policy to protect patients, families, and staff from harassment or unlawful detention + rebuild public trust in our health institutions as safe havens FOR ALL.

Trump's tariff chaos is destroying Kentucky's bourbon industry. Exports have collapsed, and Canadian and European competitors are taking our market share.

Bourbon built Kentucky. Trump is tearing it down.

"This is not who we are."

Gov. @andybeshearky.bsky.social is standing up for what's right. Sending National Guard troops into cities against governors' wishes isn't just wrong, it's un-American.

We don't militarize our communities. It's a founding principle of our democracy.

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."

BREAKING: President Obama comes out in favor of Prop 50 in California.

California, help protect democracy and return your ballots today!

The reporter should've quickly asked " Can we speak to someone who DOES know what's going on?" "Do you know who that is?"

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

The Speaker of the House Is Abetting Authoritarianism Every Trump needs his Johnson: a flunky who will rationalize his crimes.

"To bring a democracy under authoritarian control, you need more than a strongman. You need politicians who will assure the public, as we slide toward one-man rule, that nothing odd is happening. That’s the role Johnson is playing in Trump’s takeover of America." www.thebulwark.com/p/speaker-mi...

Adelita Grijalva won her election 19 days ago and she still hasn’t been sworn in.

The government has been shut down for 12 days with no end in sight.

They can stall as long as they want but the Epstein files ain’t going away.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.

The so-called peace President has doubled the government expenditure for pepperballs and non-lethal rounds to be used against Americans exercising their First Amendment Rights.

The Speaker of the House Is Abetting Authoritarianism Every Trump needs his Johnson: a flunky who will rationalize his crimes.

"That’s the sound of a man who will do nothing to challenge—and anything to justify—presidential violations of the Constitution, as long as the president is of his own party.

The American founders expected better leaders than Johnson.'

As ICE terrorizes communities, remember that some of Trump's biggest supporters are private prison companies that will make bank off his budget bill.

And Stephen Miller recently disclosed over $100K of stock in Palantir, the shady data firm ICE uses to target immigrants.

Cashing in on cruelty.
