a new genre of photo in the last year is federal agents working for ICE pointing guns directly at photographers

This is so insane. #MedicareForAllNOW

I don't know if anyone ever considered this before but I think we should have a left wing party in the United States. Just my opinion

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

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.

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.

Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.

Meanwhile, CEOs make 280 times the typical worker today.

The system is rigged.

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

If we don't test for COVID, then there's no COVID! If there's no flights, then there's no late flights! Brilliant!

The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

Zohran Mamdani polled +40% on men under 30. So we wasted all that time on all those think pieces about how we need a Joe Rogan for the left, when what we actually needed were *policies* for the left.

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

It turns out the average voter prefers good things to bad things, a shocking revelation pundits will be struggling for years to come to a consensus on.

57% of all ad spending by Republicans in the Virginia governors race was on anti trans ads. Just an incredibly mismanaged campaign. Anti-trans politics are a losing issue.

Head in hands wondering how this could happen to me, the popular president who posted a video of myself shitting on everyone 2 weeks ago

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Remember this.

There are more of us than there are of them.

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

This person took this when they called the race

Friends. Please take the 25 minutes (it’ll fly by) to watch/listen to this entire speech. I have goosebumps. I have hope. 😌 I’m on my second rewatch already

a blue background with the words we only win if we show up ALT: a blue background with the words we only win if we show up

The victories we’re celebrating were ONLY made possible because the voters showed up. Vote every election. Vote for hope or for revenge. Vote because it’s an obligation or a privilege. Vote because we want you to vote or because they don’t want you to. Whatever the reason, just vote. Everytime.

I’d forgotten what it’s like to see election returns and not feel physically ill

SNAP benefits will be gone, small businesses will suffer, insurance premiums will double, air traffic will be delayed/halted: All of these things are happening because when the gov't shutdown ends, the Epstein Files get released.

CNN Speaker Johnson I don’t know montage

It’s bizarre because when I was in my 20s I remember thinking we’d have to have a party when Cheney died, and now it’s actually happened it’s actually left the GOP worse than when he was alive.

Bizarre and hard to know how to process. Bad times.
