Thank you. My kid is walking home from school and I wanted to be sure there wasn’t a reason to be concerned

I’m getting my uhub shirt out 🤣

@universalhub.com any news on why helicopters are circling Roslindale?

Uber is doing its part to protect women — and now some male drivers are upset Pairing female passengers with female drivers is one meaningful way to allow women drivers and passengers to feel safer.

Smart and fabulous 1st person view of the gig economy

Our School District Can Now Keep Track of Your Child with Just Three Terrible Apps Other than lawsuits, losing track of a child is every school district’s worst nightmare. We haven’t lost anyone yet, but an EdTech company has pain...

"Is this time-effective? Of course not. We’re dispersing the labor previously done by one person across five paid employees and hundreds of parents and guardians. But is it cost-effective? Also, no."

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU.

YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

What happened, @nytimes.com? Why not stand by your original headline? Because it’s absolutely an accurate representation of this trash conversation.

To publish this at all should be a fireable offense - but to publish it as women’s rights are being decimated is deeply immoral, bordering on evil

❓When people say, "the longest in U.S. history," how long is that?

The U.S. was founded in 1776. So, "the longest" means 249 years. That’s 8-10 generations of people.

Think about that when we say: Tonight, this government shutdown will become the longest in U.S. history.

Let that sink in.

Weird!

Breaking on MSNBC:

Two federal prosecutors have been placed on leave at the direction of the White House after filing a sentencing memo seeking 27 months in prison for a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter who brought illegal guns and ammunition to President Obama's house in 2023.

There are a few shows I really want to watch, but I’m waiting until they are fully out and will binge and cancel.

My HIV vaccine group’s goal was to innovate our way out of a job. Sadly that’s not what we got to

Amazon is the employer with the most employees on Medicaid in the state of Nevada. Walmart is second. (Recent national stats broken out by employer are unavailable, prob because employers don’t want us to know the social safety net is a corporate subsidy.)

CEOs are the only real welfare queens.

“Walmart was the top employer of SNAP recipients in five states and one of the top four employers in the remaining four states. McDonald’s was among the top five employers of Medicaid enrollees in five of six states and SNAP recipients in eight of nine states.”

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Considering my 11 yos school has had to stop using YouTube videos of educational content due to ICE ads, yeah they suck

ICE in Portland: “Dear God, they’re Jazzercising in formation! Light ‘em up!”

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

Mike Johnson shamelessly lies: "We strengthened Medicaid. We improved healthcare access and we lowered premiums with our legislation."

Wake up, babe, the least subtle visual metaphor in history just dropped

Oh my GOD.

The networks took the much smaller Tea Party movement so seriously they broadcast a Tea Party rebuttal to Obama’s 2011 SOTU on top of the normal GOP one.

It is really hard to overstate how amazing this is
