Quaker Oats’ recall on pancake mix elevated to highest FDA level The two-pound boxes of pancake mixe were recalled last month because they may have contained undeclared milk

They only notify us about things like food that will kill you. No big deal. 😑

Lawmakers propose pay-by-mile charge for Washington drivers OLYMPIA, Wash. – A proposed bill in the legislature could charge drivers for how much they drive in order to fund transportation projects. Supporters of the idea point to declining

Washington State law makers want to start charging drivers based on how much they drive. More of taking from people who are already struggling instead of making giant organizations such as Amazon pay for their share of maintaining infrastructure their businesses rely on

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Pushing unconfirmed information is irresponsible. Period.

People with a platform, like me, must uphold that.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are πŸ“‰

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

ICE detained a familyβ€”including a toddlerβ€”after they were overheard speaking Spanish. They’re US citizens from Puerto Rico.

No chance to explain. The mother, grandmother, and child were shopping when ICE agents took them into detention before admitting their β€œmistake.”

This is Trump’s America.

This person is _admitting on-air_ that she and her boss are violating a federal law that’s been in place for _a half-century_. That’s how stupidβ€”and radicalβ€”these people are.

RFK Jr. is not fit to lead the Department of Health and Human Services! Did you know RFK Jr. wanted to stop infectious disease drug development and research for 8 years? He supports defunding lifesaving research that is used to develop treatments and cures for diseases. [...

Consider signing. The thought of putting this guy in charge of public health is insulting to all of us.

Trump firing 17 independent inspectors general means that Project 2025 is up and running. He will try and install loyalists in their place.

Additionally, most of Trump’s executive orders have come straight from Project 2025.

We tried to warn people, and now it’s happening.

Hey!

Fuck off & leave rural people alone. We have super limited options on where we can shop. For most, it’s Walmart or NOTHING. For even more it’s Dollar General or nothing. For me, it’s Walmart, Target, WholeFoods, or Rouse’s, whose founder was literally at Jan.6

Get off your fucking high horse
