Thoughts from today: when you're sharing news stories, are you framing your presentation of said story in a way that promotes your ultimate goal of restoring democracy? Are you motivating people to take action? Or scaring the shit out of them? Is your framing aiding the fascists or fighting them?

Keep it up, Dems. Hold the line, keep your spine. Now is when you show your constituents that you are willing to fight for as long as it takes. If Republicans win, 50,000 Americans will die. Hold. The. Line.

Portland, Oregon. The request by Occupy Democrats was to share this video far and wide. So l'm doing that. This escalation is illegal. We must exercise our right to peacefully protest the illegal actions of the govt. I look forward to the day of justice for all of these fuckers.

Look at this graph.

The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened.

This is why we must build back union power.

👀 Satellite images (Airbus) taken on August 31 show the aftermath of the attack on Kuibyshev Oil Refinery in the Samara Region.

Today, in my hellhole home of #Chicago, I walked to the farmers market with my family and bought flowers, cheese, honey, fruit, and tomatoes.

Then we went to the local park to enjoy the 70s and breezy weather we have been blessed with.

My dream is for it to happen like it does to vampires.

When the leader kicks the bucket, the rest of them burst into flames.

I didn’t know it but now I need a baby donkey 😂💗

Fatality.

White background with teal rectangle at the top and title that reads Mutual Aid brought to you by OSU Wellness Agents. A person is walking into the image from the right side. Text reads: What is mutual aid? mutual aid is solidarity not charity it's not saviorism, it's saving ourselves. Mutual aid insists that there is a marriage between political education and political action. Step 1: build a pod map A pod is a microcosm of community. Since it's more concrete it's easier to get organized, to connect, make a plan and follow through if and when it's needed. Step 2: connect with those folks. Once you've created your pod, connect with those individuals. What resources do you have to offer and what resources do you need? Step 3: Find a buddy to work with Don't go alone, make sure someone always knows where you are/who you were visiting. Step 4: Identify your support zone, Who will you be supports? Where? What support systems already exist? Can you partner with them?

Let's tackle mutual aid in bite-sized chunks: Can you look over these resources and start pod-mapping in your neighborhoods this week? ⬇️

Talk to your friends and neighbors, see what other people are doing and how you can help or fill a different need.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

Zelensky owns a suit, and he looks damn good in it. Because he has a decent tailor. And he's in really great physical condition. He actually IS young and vigorous.

He doesn't need a suit to be a leader.

Clothes definitely don't make the man.

Practice saying these phrases until they roll off your tongue effortlessly:
"Am I being detained?"
"Am I free to go?"
"I exercise my right to remain silent and I want a lawyer."

For some 100 critical drugs, the US supply comes from one factory in China - The Boston Globe How the US can reclaim its independence from China’s pharmaceuticals.

For years, I’ve called for making high-quality generic drugs here at home so we’re not reliant on foreign countries for access to medication.

@smith.senate.gov and I have a bill to make life-saving drugs in the United States.

Welcome to Trump’s America - where rapist sex traffickers are welcomed in, and allied war heroes are kicked out.
