Life long democratic voter! I'm embarrassed to be an uneducated white women 65 years old. But I believe everyone should have equal rights! My father organized for united mine workers in Jim crow south. It was an experience I don't want to relive. Unions!

This has not gotten much attention, but it should.

Virginia under Youngkin returned to an insanely harsh system where people convicted of any felony lose their voting rights FOR LIFE.

Dems' win this week mean they'll get to advance a constitutional amendment to end lifetime disenfranchisement.

Justice KBJ is a brilliant strategist. She is working the rules to compel timely review of the stay in the SNAP case by both the Circuit Court and by the Supreme Court. This is why knowing which SCOTUS justice has supervision of the Circuit you file in is essential.

The USDA announced today it would fully fund November SNAP benefits after a court ordered them to immediately release the funds.

The greatest country in the world voluntarily crippling its air transit system to own the libs, starve people, and deny them healthcare.

People who are in PILES of debt but have the audacity to call themselves "middle class" will look at a Toys for Tot donation list and say "why do these poor kids want these name brand toys and clothes?"

Because they are KIDS and they want what they see other kids play with.

It's blowing my mind anew that we have a president who is doing anything he possibly can to avoid having to spend moneyโ€”money that the country has earmarked for this purpose, and is required by law to spendโ€”to ensure that Americans have food to eat. And a majority of Congress is on board with this.

Gov. J.B. Pritzker announced Illinois is launching a new initiative to document abuses by federal agents โ€” calling out ICE and CBP for targeting people of color and dodging accountability. โ€œWeโ€™re going to have to keep a record. These people need to be held accountable.โ€

I fear ICE is trafficking the women and children they kidnap.

The press probably should have made a bigger deal of the president promising to take the U.S. economy back to the 1800s.

There is zero excuse for police, in a free society, to wear a mask.

If weโ€™re going to talk about poverty, letโ€™s do it honestly. Not with caricatures, not with code wordsโ€”but with data, nuance, and a willingness to confront our assumptions.

things that arent the future of civilization

- chatbots
- crypto
- robot butlers
- cars that sorta drive autonomously as long as youre paying attention for when they fail and almost kill a bunch of people

things that actually are the future of civilization

- free clean energy
