“Liberals are getting rid of cows?!!”😱
(No they are not)

Persuaded by misinformation, Pam rescues a cow but quickly realizes why US Farmers have it so tough after a lesson on the REAL reasons for soaring beef & dairy prices.

Introducing Her/She the Cow 🐄👇

Two days ago, two young men -- both white -- picked up guns to kill people at Utah Valley University and Evergreen High School in Colorado. The Minneapolis school shooter was also raised as a white boy.

What's in the water? (Other than the guns of course.)

#FreedomFromGunViolence

Thinking about the family of Representative Melissa Hortman & her husband who were assassinated at the hands of a radical MAGA shooter in June.

Melissa was doing such important work for the state of Minnesota & this country-we grieve her loss & demand strict gun reform legislation.

South Koreans detained in ICE raid at Hyundai electric vehicle site in Georgia The raid has sparked an angry response from South Korea which called it an unjust infringement of people's rights.

Hyundai should pull out, taking its hundreds of millions of dollars and build this plant elsewhere.

This is a hostile business environment, where they must be struggling to find the labor to actually build the plants, and the civil rights of their own employees are being violated.

There are about 6,000 hospital in the US.

29% of US hospitals are RURAL.
58% of US hospitals are COMMUNITY.

These hospitals already run tight budgets.
They all serve large communities of people on Medicaid.

republicans changed Medicaid in the BBB so that millions will lose health care coverage.

After the viral moment fades The trauma continues

A violent ICE abduction in Worcester, MA captured national attention in May. But after that viral moment got replaced by a never ending stream of other horrific incidents, the trauma for this family didn’t end. Including for a 13 year old child. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/ruthzaka...

One person’s hate really did move policy: Laura Loomer (far-right conspiracist, provocateur), who has called herself a “proud Islamophobe”, told followers that “flights of GAZANS” were arriving “at airports all across the US” and ranted about “flooding our country with jihadis.”

Newsmax LOSES. The lying liar now must suffer consequences for its incredibly damaging lies, though far from enough to compensate for the consequences our democracy continues to pay in terms of eroding trust in our democratic institutions.

💯This‼️ Don't underestimate the value of community as resistance. It's both the foundation for resilience that'll sustain us throughout this fight, as well as a force-multiplyer that will be needed to fight the fascist, white supremacist movement that is MAGA - and win.

This is what fascism IS. There’s no ‘rising’ about it…

Private school vouchers aren’t about choice, it’s about shifting public resources away from our schools and into the hands of the wealthy.

Every day hard working families lose out while those who have the means benefit the most.

Why should taxpayers fund billionaires’ children?

They need to think about their mother's when they make such comments. Regardless of race or creed. It was tough for any mom in any era of time.

For this family, the home support that Medicaid provides is vital for their precious son Landry's basic needs. But the GOP has put his future at risk by slashing Medicaid cuts that have benefitted him, all to pay for a tax break for the wealthy few. Attend the Family First Now Rally…

Objection: HOMEWORK FOR THE HOUSE The Senate passed the bill. The House is up next. Let’s make them feel the heat.

#momsky This is an excellent resource. It includes a spreadsheet of 27 vulnerable house republicans plus their top donors. If you’re a constituent, contact your rep’s office. If NOT you can apply pressure via their IG/X/FB pages & their donors

I’m sick of working to try to make ends meet. I’m a teacher with a state health plan. I can’t afford doctors visits for anyone except my kids. Medicaid should be EXPANDED, not cut. If politicians cared about their constituents, they would do for us as they do for the rich.

Don’t Bomb Medicaid

‘People are going to die’: how Medicaid work requirements cost people their health insurance Those caring for relatives with severe disabilities say planned Republican cuts will be fatal for some

People will die as a result of Medicaid cuts. Are we just collateral damage for wealthy Americans’ power games? Seems like republicans think so. Call and demand better for everyone, not just billionaires.
