Screenshot of a Washington Post article with the headline: Long-term unemployment at post-pandemic high, straining workers and economy.

Long-term unemployment—when someone is unemployed for six months or more—is nearly DOUBLE what it was only two years ago. Between this news, rising overall unemployment, weak job growth, and soaring inflation, it’s clear that Trump’s economic policies are failing Americans.

The United States has a concentration camp in Florida. Let that sink in.

Just your friendly reminder that the covid vaccine saved millions of lives and climate change is real.

Trying to think of something fun to do on July 4th.

Because I sure as hell won't be celebrating this ignorant, dishonest, selfish, and cruel country.

BREAKING: We're filing a new class-action lawsuit to challenge President Trump's lawsuit restricting birthright citizenship.

The 14th Amendment is clear: Every child born on U.S. soil is a citizen, whether the president likes it or not.

i am simply asking the press to cover the government sending masked thugs to rip people from their crying children and shipping them to a foreign concentration camp with the same ferocity they cover a trans kid playing jv tennis in sheboygan

The guy was a registered Republican evangelical and his best friend has said he was a Trump supporter who watched InfoWars.

He was traveling around with a list of MORE Democrats he wanted to kill.

MAGA: “See, we told you he was a Walz-loving Lib.”

Are you fucking kidding me?

STARTING NOW:

A heartfelt "fuck you" to everyone who told me I was overreacting in November 2016.

This‼️

RFK Jr. says Covid-19 shot will no longer be recommended for healthy children and pregnant women | CNN US Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. announced Tuesday said the Covid-19 vaccine will no longer be among the recommended vaccines for pregnant women and healthy children on the US Center...

Pregnancy is a major risk factor for severe COVID-19 outcomes (read: death). GOP, if you want women to have more babies, how about making it easier for women to do that without dying?

When Americans raised concerns about RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine views, he said he was "not gonna take away vaccines from anybody."

But now he's taking them away from millions of mommas and babies.

Vaccine recommendations should be based on science, not RFK Jr.'s political agenda.

Damn right.

Vaccine Access is Under Attack. Act now to tell the FDA we need universal COVID vaccine access Public comment at the FDA is open until May 23. The Wall Street Journal reported HHS plans to remove some vaccine recommendations

Thanks for the reminder to call our legislators. You can also comment, which I did last night. As an RN caring for many bone marrow transplant patients and a mom of an immunocompromised daughter, this makes me angry! open.substack.com/pub/peoplesc...

Do you ever think about the great things America could do if we focused our energy on common good rather than corporate greed?

Y’all may want to check to see if you are following Jake Tapper @jaketapper.bsky.social here on Bluesky and if you are then unfollow him. He has 291,000 too many followers. Then pass it on.

what i mean is: most people who utilize medicaid — who are not children, the elderly or americans with severe disabilities — work! you can’t live off of medicaid because it is health insurance! these people are just mindlessly repeating anti-welfare language from the 1990s

If you’re more interested in making money on what you say happened in the last presidential election than you are in reporting on the blatant presidential corruption that’s been happening SINCE the election, you are not a journalist.

You are an asshole.
And you’re complicit.

It's funny. I've moved on from my Catholic upbringing but I still believe it's our duty to treat other humans with justice and respect no matter their status. Strange that that idea makes me a commie now.

When the President of the United States says he doesn’t know if he should uphold the Constitution, it should be a searing red line for every American.

If you let him ignore ANY aspect of the Constitution you embolden him to ignore more of it, including the parts that secure YOUR freedoms & rights.

If someone asked President Biden if he had to uphold the Constitution, and his answer was "I don't know," he would have been removed from office immediately.

Stop letting dementia trump get away with trashing the fucking Constitution.

I was certainly no threat. I asked my congressperson what his red line was to finally, vocally oppose the lawless administration and he didn’t answer the question, so I called out for him to answer it and he had me removed. This is what the ISA has come to. The constitution is in shreds.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

People are NOT understanding what empty cargo ships from China means.

It means no work for dock workers. No work for truck drivers, no work for retailers, fewer dollars circulating. The cascade effect is just mind boggling.
