I’m always amazed anyone would choose For You on any platform. I only want to see posts from folks I follow and in chronological order.

Recent emails obtained by House Oversight Democrats show why Trump is so desperate to hide these files. Epstein disclosed Trump "knew about the girls" and “spent hours” with at least one. Yet, House Republicans continue to cover up the truth—denying survivors the justice and respect they deserve.

A graphic with a white and gray gradient background contains bold red text that reads: “BELIEVING THE REPUBLICANS WHEN THEY ‘PROMISE’ A VOTE ON HEALTHCARE IS LIKE BELIEVING TRUMP WHEN HE SAID PROJECT 2025 WASN’T THE PLAN OF HIS ADMINISTRATION.” At the bottom, it credits @kdnerak33.bsky.social, and in the corner is the logo BRIAN TYLER COHEN.

To the 8 senators who voted to give up the only leverage they had and trust the GOP:

And the TNG episode Hollow Pursuits, where Lt Reginald Barclay is addicted to the holodeck. Sci-fi writers have been warning us for decades.

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

Crazy! I'm so glad I left Facebook years ago as well.

Elon Musk’s new pay package would feed all forty million Americans on SNAP for the next ten years. He wouldn’t notice the difference but the country would.

I helped make a film, out this week, called “Rovina’s Choice,” about the deaths this man without conscience or accountability has caused — already 600,000, ⅔ of them children.

This is disability visibility.

Mamdani listened. He didn’t pander or talk over the disabled journalist.

He acknowledged his concerns and gave real responses about how he plans to fix them.

1 in 4 Americans has a disability, it’s a huge number of voters.

Don’t ignore us!

Trump is leaving families to starve but communities are stepping up. That he’s trying to interfere proves Trump really just wants kids and families to go hungry. I just introduced a bill to protect stores that offer discounts to SNAP recipients if they choose to.

The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands The short documentary “Rovina’s Choice” tells the story of what goes when aid goes.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

This is devastating, and I say this as someone who has written for Teen Vogue.

TV did a tremendous job helping Americans understand politics during the first Trump term.

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

The owner of Time welcomed federal troops to invade San Francisco.

Which he’s walked back kinda. But still. We need to make choices about which media to support or write for.
