Old enough to remember when one presidential candidate did not know the price of milk. Seems quaint. But people who want to destroy SNAP know damn well how the program works.

Exactly. I’d ask if these people never walked through a grocery store and observed the “EBT” tags indicating which products are allowed, except I know they are just lying.

I am so, so sorry.

I am certainly no seasoned strategist but I am a little skeptical of the political wisdom behind building a giant golden ballroom and sharing a dozen photos of a renovated marble bathroom at the very moment that millions of people are losing access to healthcare and food.

Need more of this…

Still stands for Churu

He’s going to claim this gives him authority to cancel all elections.

As Marcy notes, @seamushughes.bsky.social is doing such critically important work. Here, folks should read Judge Rodriguez's opinion (to which Marcy links) for themselves.

It's a chilling account of what's become standard practice in ICE arrests these days—from a district judge who is no firebrand.

Perfect response from @neguse.house.gov here. Watch this.

They should also walk out.

Israel Executes 9-year-old Palestinian Child in West Bank, Netanyahu Resumes Bombing Gaza The Israeli military has killed more than 100 Palestinians since the "ceasefire" and still faces no accountability while western media remains largely silent

Netanyahu broke the ceasefire & killed 104 Palestinians, including 46 children. Israeli soldiers executed a 9 year old boy in the West Bank as he watched a football game—he's the 1001st person they've killed since 10/7.

And corporate media has largely ignored it.

wtf is he talking about “bad healthcare.” ACA coverage allowed me to return to the medical practices I preferred, with excellent care.

I do not think I can articulate the rage I’ve felt about this, even though I saw it coming last November. I expected it to be one of the first things they would do.

Here’s a group people can support: transgenderlawcenter.org

This is a pretty big one

He’s not a fighter against the oligarchs. See my pinned post. Newsom has the same corporate benefactors and regularly vetoes legislation at their call.

These contiguous posts in my timeline show how companies, both big and small, can either devote themselves to the trivial and evil or the substantive and good.

I am so angry. I am tired of being angry. But it just makes me want to fight harder.

If you have a RING door system, ICE has the right to request that footage and use it against you or your neighbors.

RING is partnering with the Gestapo.

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

This is what happens when ignorant bigots make health policy decisions they are not qualified to make.

Americans are sick of skipping doctor’s appointments, rationing medicine & delaying lifesaving surgeries because health care is so expensive.

If we don’t act now, millions of Americans will lose their health insurance. Dems are fighting to protect our people & reopen the government.

NEW: A data-sharing agreement that gives the Department of Homeland Security access to hundreds of millions of Americans’ Social Security data contains alarmingly few provisions to ensure accuracy, security or privacy, experts say.

I’m still shocked that stories like this which come out daily still get largely ignored. The most corrupt person to ever hold any public office in US history. I will keep posting them every day and try to amplify them, even when most media doesn’t care. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

Absolutely horrifying and heartbreaking.

Watching nuclear war drama A House of Dynamite, and by far the most jarring aspect is that the US executive staff are portrayed as competent, sober adults.

For obvious reasons, this is a TERRIBLE idea. Facial recognition has high false positive rates for immigrants in particular!
