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.

Here are the companies destroying the east wing of the White House

"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

Indicting your political enemies because they’re your enemies, not because they’ve committed crimes, is unAmerican.

The greatest thing I own or will ever own is this old retail standee where Dracula casually reveals a coffin full of Doritos and Pepsi.

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

Apple Banned an App That Simply Archived Videos of ICE Abuses Eyes Up's purpose is to "preserve evidence until it can be used in court." But it has been swept up in Apple's crackdown on ICE-spotting apps.

Deleting my tik tok has been super good for my mental health but also like I feel like I am not getting all the latest news immediately

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

Forget reading sci-fi and thinking it's good, these guys read about how IBM counting machines helped facilitate the Holocaust and thought "and look, 80 years later it's still a major profitable corporation!"

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

Me to my fiance: do you know about what’s happening with soybeans or am I too deeply into a trade niche
Fiance: if you have to ask….

If Republicans keep blocking the extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits, policy experts are warning that we are going to end up in what’s called an “insurance death spiral.”

Here’s what that is and why we’re all screwed if it happens.

PS — call your GOP reps. @5calls.org has a script.

My husband was detained by ICE today

Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away

My city’s top mayoral candidate is having a Reddit AMA today and I wanted to ask him a question about his funding and got told by Reddit I wasn’t allowed to ask political questions because it was too controversial. On a political AMA. Go figure.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

1/ DEVELOPING: A journalist was rushed to New York-Presbyterian Hospital following another incident with an ICE agent at 26 Federal Plaza, an immigration court in NYC. The last I heard, he was getting X-rays for his lower back.

I tuned in to the news for like 3 seconds and the autocrat in office was rambling about how people tell him to not fall down stairs but he refuses to bop down stairs like Obama who he doesn’t respect…. What in the actual fuck is going on here

There goes the First Amendment.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

now imagine if the US government hired those terrible people. IMAGINE

A movement once considered fringe is now reshaping American politics. Christian nationalism—fueled by apocalyptic beliefs, authoritarian aims, and deep political ties—is advancing a vision of the U.S. as a theocracy.

Here are 10 ways it's threatening democracy and religious freedom.

Statement from @postguild.bsky.social on the firing of Karen Attiah:

130 in the House & 27 in Senate voted to keep Segregation in place

depending on your age/family location, they may have repped your grandparents, or parents.

so: not really that long ago

we can't underestimate the evil that is anti-Black racism is in the US - nor its long term effects

no offends if this is you but if you're thinking "this is going to make the right do fascism" they're already there. they blew up a boat with 11 people on it for being immigrants. they're kidnapping US citizens and trying to rendition them to Uganda. do you think we're on a trajectory to peace

More of this.

The current admin is trying to isolate America and make the country feel like we have no allies. It’s a classic abuse tactic. That’s why I’m not so sure that the Hyundai raid is something that they are gonna see as a net negative. It furthers their isolationist goals at our expense.
