I bought my house in 2017. If I hadn't bought then, if I hadn't had the support of the VA, my wife and I would now be priced out of the town I grew up in, like the millions of Americans being exiled from their towns and cities.

Ban hedge funds from buying homes.

Healthcare is a human rightβ€”no exceptions. Every other developed nation provides some form of universal healthcare. It's unacceptable that the U.S. does not.

Susan Collins hasn’t held a town hall since Bill Clinton was president. I’m holding 21 town halls across the state in the next month.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

People have power. Ask Target

@lisachesters.bsky.social @albomp.bsky.social @senatorwong.bsky.social. Do something more than symbolic. Stop the murderous arms trade. Recognition of Palestine is a step but its like a step in a marathon.

Stop standing with mass murderers @albomp.bsky.social. Speak out. Recognise Palestine. Stop the supply of weapons to Israel. This isn't a matter of a conversation. This is literally a matter of life or death for 2 million people in an open air prison.

To my local member, do something. Your silence is unacceptable but unremarkable. If you get booted like Fatima Payman. So be it. But you need to speak out. Otherwise you are complicit. @lisachesters.bsky.social do something! Ghaza is being obliterated. Speak out. Do something.

This might be a bit late. But I just learnt of Israel's murder of the Al Jazeera team in Ghaza. This is a apartheid state trying to shut up the dissidents. What Israel is doing is apartheid. The Jewish members of the IDF went from their ancestors being massacred to the people perpetrating massacre.

Conserving our environment is an American value. From hikers to hunters we want to keep our public lands public! Thats why the unprecedented sell-off of millions of acres of public lands needs to be removed from the Senate Budget Bill.

Nature is non partisan! πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

Pass it on!

"You die?

"Well, yes, someday."

"I die?"

"I don't know. You're made of metal, but you have feelings, & you think about things, & that means you have a soul. And souls don't die."

🧊 started rolling into my town last week. This morning they are everywhere pulling people over and reports of them even going door to door.

It won’t be long before they bump up to taking whoever they want no matter what they look like. β€œIllegal Immigrants” was always just the pathway to doing it.

Juneteenth is a day of reflection and recognition. More than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation, freedom finally reached enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas.

Black history is American history. Because American history is the struggle and success of Black Americans. (1/2)
