Currently tearing my hair out because I adopted an urgent rent need for a family that needs to pay $3050 RIGHT MEOW to stay out of eviction court and then I got an urgent request from another rent fund and there’s $320 left in my Venmo account. So much need and I wish I could be everywhere at once 😭

I’m raising rent relief funds for Minneapolis immigrant families affected by ICE.

Donations are down, but ICE is very much still here and there’s still so much need. Can you help?

Just got a message from South High saying β€œWe currently have requests totaling $33,965 for rent and we have $7500 available tomorrow. Please try to share the gofundme widely! Thanks”

Well, that simply will not do. I'll match the first $900. Please help my fellow South High families if you can! πŸ–€πŸ§‘πŸ–€

I’m married to a proud Navy vet, and have a LOT of vets, I clueing Vietnam vets, in our families. 100% agree with her- they never should have been over there in the first place. They’re angry about how government has messed up their lives and failing to provide adequate VA care for them.

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

When Sanders dressed down me and my fellow constituents for asking him to support increased funding for aid, then stormed out of his own conference room, I knew that he couldn't possibly represent my views.

If you don’t have any borders, you don’t have a nation," Sanders, a Vermont independent who caucuses with the Democratic Party, said on The Tim Dillon Show on Wednesday. "Trump did a better job. I don’t like Trump, but we should have a secure border. It ain’t that hard to do. Biden didn't do it."

No, Bernie, sending squads of goosestepping fascists to conduct mass raids and terrify entire communities is not "better." This is a godawful take and you should feel bad.

I need to once again emphasize to the doomers that in terms of public sentiment and sympathy towards this administration and its goals, it is only going to get worse.

Texas Democrats aren’t running away from anything. They’re fighting, with every tool they have, to save our democracy.

Kudos to each and every one of them for taking this stand. We should be inspired by their courage and reminded that tyranny is only possible if we submit to it.

This is dire.
American sunscreens don’t work very well and have a lot of toxicity as well as often causing skin irritation and eye irritation.

So… as the stopgap, consider sun sleeves and sun hats, rashguards or wetsuits instead of swim suits. And YELL AT YOUR CONGRESS CRITTERS.

I think it's also important to point out that for all of the "Young Men Are Going Hard Right!!!" hand wringing, young men are still to the political left of every older cohort.

The issue is that youth voting was significantly down this cycle, probably because they were given jack shit to vote for.

This is why swinging right is such a ridiculous choice for Dems if they want to win. Progressive policies when elections. Dems can’t ever reach across the aisle far enough to get the vote of a Republican voter. They’ve been convinced that a vote for any Republican is their religious duty.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
