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.

I don't like the phrase "moderate Democrat" to describe people who folded. Caving to Trump is the extremist position.

HE'S APPEALING TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES THAT HE BE ALLOWED TO STARVE AMERICANS

(Forbes) - The Trump Organization’s second-term push to monetize Donald Trump’s presidency has reached the aisles of military exchanges, as Coast Guard-run stores .. have stocked Trump-branded wine and cider. 🤡

I’m seeing a photo in my feeds of President Trump awkwardly standing and facing cameras as a man faints in The Oval Office. Video shows him reacting, which I grabbed an image of.

Folks, bad information that confirms a viewpoint is still bad information.

Trump just gave $40 billion in taxpayer dollars to Argentina to bail out its libertarian president.

For decades, a prime but isolated corner parking lot at 4th & Broadway in Denver's Baker neighborhood was too small for traditional development.

Thanks to Denver's forthcoming single-stair code updates, KGA Architects is proposing a 5-story single-stair apt on this "forgotten lot"

Important info for Coloradans--This is why a state official sued Polis rather than comply with his order to cooperate with ICE "wellness checks." @kylec.bsky.social @taydolven.bsky.social @senadorajulie.bsky.social

The Reddit community r/Democrats has a conspicuous absence of any news about Zohran Mamdani today. But that's by design.

The moderators have rules that ban people from talking about democratic socialists.

The Democratic Party Needs to Learn from Zohran Mamdani's Guts and Backbone Zohran Mamdani did something different, and it made all the difference.

I am no longer employed so I'm not blogging Zohran tonight but I can just repeat exactly what I said in June :-)

he won on the back of a pro-migrant, pro-trans, pro-working class campaign. and also: Dem pundits are full of shit

Durango family was detained without a warrant — lawyers say it’s another example of ICE not following the law In a separate civil case, an ICE supervisor said he understands that the detainment was a "collateral arrest."

In a separate civil case, an ICE supervisor said he understands that the detainment was a "collateral arrest."

ICE is now using facial recognition software— including on American citizens — to detain people its app concludes are in the country illegally.

This, as Trump says ICE raids "haven't gone far enough."

Connect the dots: No one is safe from Trump's tyranny.

42 million people cant buy food this month. It’s time to tax billionaires.

Mike Johnson lies shamelessly: "The president is desperate for SNAP benefits to flow to the American citizens who desperately rely on it ... the SNAP situation has legal impediments."

You Can’t Have Social Housing Without Building Housing Zoning reform measures have divided tenant advocates in New York. Yet loosening the city’s anti-housing regime is essential if we ever want to build social housing at scale.

Speaker Johnson: Federal employees aren’t being paid. Nutrition cuts may cause children to go hungry. Millions are seeing their health premiums soar.

End the 6 week paid vacation you’ve taken. Join your Democratic colleagues and negotiate an end to this shutdown.

More than 170 US citizens have been held by immigration agents ProPublica uncovered that Americans have been kicked, dragged, and detained for days.

ICE has beaten, detained & arrested 170 citizens, at least 3 of whom were pregnant

George Retes is a US veteran who was held in solitary for 3 days

Kristi Noem says it’s not happening, but @motherjones.com has done the reporting

If they treat citizens this way, imagine what they do to immigrants

Trump's Milei bailout is $40 billion. SNAP cost the federal government $100 billion last year. Trump is spending enough money to fund several months of federal food subsidies in order to do a favor for one of his authoritarian buddies.

Democratic politicians need to ask themselves, “Are my politics like Mamdani’s?”

If the answer is no, then step aside. The people need bold visionaries who will fight for working families.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Sounds a lot like what @katmabu.bsky.social is doing, making mutual aid a key component of her campaign www.goodgoodgood.co/articles/kat...

If you oppose all housing construction out of fear of being a “developer shill”, you end up being a landlord shill, since landlords are the ones who directly profit from housing scarcity

Angus: This is a guy who showed an AI video of himself dumping diarrhea on his own citizens. So the fact that he’s freaking out because we showed a video that just had Ronald Reagan speaking shows he’s not trustworthy.

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.
