This is such a nice contrast to Mike Johnson's unctuous ignorance act.

In California, WIC will remain open and fully operational through November. Families should keep their scheduled WIC appointments and use their WIC cards for groceries as usual. Find updates at: myfamily.wic.ca.gov/Home/Federal...

Ma’am the only one Potering here is you. Also, you’re clout chasing but Bluesky is (gratifyingly) not playing along.

Reps. Ocasio-Cortez and Riley lead New York’s entire Democratic delegation in urging Trump Administration to fund November SNAP benefits.

Signed by Senators Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Representatives Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08), Yvette Clarke (NY-09), Adriano Espaillat (NY-13), Laura Gillen (NY-04), Dan Goldman (NY-10), Tim Kennedy (NY-26), George Latimer (NY-16), John Mannion (NY-22), Gregory Meeks (NY-05), Grace Meng (NY-06), Joe Morelle (NY-25), Jerrold Nadler (NY-12), Pat Ryan (NY-18), Tom Suozzi (NY-03), Paul Tonko (NY-20), Ritchie Torres (NY-15), and Nydia Velázquez (NY-07).

In 2 days, Donald Trump will cut off SNAP benefits for more than 3 million New Yorkers. Not because the USDA doesn't have the money, but because he thinks starving people helps him politically.

@reprileyny.bsky.social and I led a letter demanding that Trump reverse course and fund SNAP now.

Great thread, and Vance is sneakily disingenuous on multiple dimensions here. Unions build SOLIDARITY between people of different backgrounds, which is exactly why the plutocracy and people like JD Vance have worked so hard to destroy organized labor.

Do some of you remember how I said a few months ago that the fascists aren't having fun? They still aren't, lol.

Their parties [when they have them] SUCK.

They make bad art.

They aren't funny.

They CRAVE Leftist popular culture & resent the fact that they do.

They aren't actually having fun

I can’t stress this enough: you cannot understand politics without reading this paragraph about why there’s no such thing as a 1/3rd pound hamburger

Congress hasn’t met their work requirements this month, so under the law of trump, we must deny them their food and health benefits

conversely, I prefer to live in a neighborhood where we speak multiple languages because I’m cool and not a racist xenophobe

I personally wouldn't want someone to represent me in the Senate if they didn't have the foresight to ensure that what they were permanently putting on their body in CROATIA of all places wasn't a Nazi symbol.

Governor Newsom announces the return of 17,030 acres of ancestral land to the Tule River Indian Tribe and the reintroduction of tule elk to the area.

Governor Newsom announces the return of 17,030 acres of ancestral land to the Tule River Indian Tribe and the reintroduction of tule elk to the area.

As part of today's historic return of ancestral land in the Sierra Nevada foothills and Central Valley back to the Tule River Tribe, the Department of Fish and Wildlife is helping reintroduce tule elk to the area.

It's a critical step in restoring balance to the lands and waters of their ancestors.

Cuomo Earned Almost $5 Million From Consulting in 2024, Returns Show

Last year, Andrew Cuomo brought in nearly $5 million for "consulting."

We don't know who paid him.

Or who he now owes.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

“The conceit at the heart of that belief is that poor white people are too racist, and too uniquely ignorant of their racism, to vote in their best interests. Therefore, Democrats have to accept a little racism to win the working class.”

if you have a remote job like me, you might not know that you can play lofi girl beats all day long and even on teams and zoom calls and only you can hear it. changed my life

We keep trying to win over everyone instead of accepting that we have a base that's mutually exclusive with large elements of the GOP base. We'd be way more consistent on policy and candidates if we just accepted some MFers don't want to vote for a Dem, even if that Dem owns a fucking gun club.

If SNAP benefits vanished tomorrow, feeding 42 million Americans for a month would cost about $7.8 billion.That’s less than 1% of the combined net worth of the three richest men in the U.S. A reminder of how obscene inequality has become and how easily hunger could be solved if we chose to.

Fellow people who feel things in very big ways, we are not supposed to be living like this, so give yourself grace on the days where the anxiety that you are a problem or in the way gets too loud.
Everyone and everything is on edge right now.
You are not too much.

Hurricanes feed off of warm water. Watch how quickly the eye of #Melissa collapsed as it moved onto land and over the mountainous terrain of Jamaica, and how quickly it is reforming now that it has moved back over water! I will be adding this radar loop to my earth science lectures.

I’ve served on two cities’ historic preservation commissions. Honestly, we get overruled by the City Council whenever big money enters the room.

That said, fuck trump

They want slavery and slavery was the model for fascism

Until that becomes a discussed reality we will stay in hell

as the daughter of a dad who died of brain cancer and a mom who’s had multiple MRIs on her brain due to dementia and transient strokes, I know that whatever’s up in Trump’s brain, it’s not good

Did not understand how any elected official would think that was a good thing to post, but then I saw this photo. Oh this guy definitely posted that and probably a whole lot of other horseshit.
