Healthcare workers care for us.
Auto workers build for us.
Fast food workers feed us.
Education workers shape our future.

Every worker deserves a living wage—no exceptions!

Small government really is big government that does what we want and screws over little people

Imagine you’re the richest man on earth. Do you spend $40 million on propaganda to convince people you did the right thing by choosing to let children starve, or do you choose to feed children? #StandWithUSAID #SaveForeignAid

What an important point

I watched #Ep1 of #AppleCiderVinegar as a nutrition scientist & as someone who cared for their mum who died of glioblastoma.

Early thoughts.
1. I'm glad they make it clear that Belle Gibson is not profiting.
2. I'm sad that this is framed like a blip one off unique unusual fraudster.

Grampa.. undersecretary of HUD and the federal housing commissioner under Carter would be rolling in his g4ave right now. He worked so hard to make housing safe and affordable for all.

For the people who used to ask 'Why do you have to be so political?' I hope that it's now obvious why.

Healthcare is political. Housing is political. Education is political. The air we breathe, the water we drink —it's all shaped by policy and power.

Ignoring that is a political choice.

my wife is a medical specialist and commented that one of her former colleagues once said, "Wow, you see a lot more LGBT people than I do!"

The reality is, his patients were LGBT at the same rate. They just didn't think it was safe to tell him anything.

Current stage of silk project

In the near future we're almost certainly going to see an executive order purporting to abolish the U.S. Department of Education

It is extremely important that all of our messaging reinforces the fundamental truth that an EO cannot do that. We must not say "Trump abolished the U.S. Dept of Ed"

EPA spending freeze continues despite court orders Two judges have ordered the administration to lift the freeze. But nonprofits and states still can't get money for contracts backed by the Inflation Reduction Act.

Trump proposes permanent displacement of Gazans as he welcomes Netanyahu to White House The leaders were set to focus on the tenuous ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, relocating Palestinians, rebuilding Gaza and normalizing relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia.

This is an excellent summary of our situation, which is quite bad.

It’s not just that they’re breaking laws. They’re breaking laws that are centrally important to our constitutional order and are constitutive of its identity. They are targeting the best parts of what democracy has built here.

Elon Musk is not an elected official or government employee and absolutely should not have access to government information and processes, or Americans' sensitive data.
 
Hear me when I say this- we will not allow big tech and billionaires to control the government.

A private citizen, with the backing of the President, illegally shut down a major government agency over the weekend and it is not on the front page of this morning's New York Times

A great post.

Working at the hospital I see this still.. and the decreased quality of life in those who do survive

EWG also puts out the dirty dozen and clean 15 which discourage people from affordable produce without valid reasons.

Looking at the video the helicopter flew into the plane

RFK Jr. Proposed Different Vax Schedules for Black and White People Robert F. Kennedy Jr. once proposed that Americans should receive vaccines on different schedules based on their race, according to a bombshell report. President Donald Trump’s nominee for health secr...

"“Now we know that, you know, we should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule that’s given to Whites, because their immune system is better than ours,” Kennedy said."

Anyone voting for this racist clown should be trepanned.

RFK Jr & his kids are vaccinated.
Because he knows vaccines are safe & effective.

Yet he makes millions of dollars causing preventable illness & death by telling other people vaccines are harmful.

BREAKING: Attorneys General of CA, NY, AZ, CO, CT, DE, HI, IL, ME, MD, MA, MI, MN, NV, NC, NJ, NM, OR, RI, VT, WA, WI, and D.C. are suing Trump for his budget freeze.

That 0 GOP AGs are joining, despite the fact that this freeze hurts their constituents the most, speaks to how MAGA is 100% a cult.

This where Collins' distinction between $ that goes to individuals and fed funds that don't is misleading. When community health centers don't get paid, people lose care though the $ never went to individuals. States or orgs administer LIHEAP, Medicaid, Head Start, Meals on Wheels, etc. #mepolitics

Let’s be perfectly clear. The Trump Regime did not have to stop federal grants so they could “review them to see if they align with their priorities”. This is revenge, plain and simple. I hope that more than one congressperson asks RFK Jr. how cutting off Medicaid makes the U.S. healthy again.
