We know what magnets are.

So glad I’m not the only person who had this thought.

While we're at it, why do we pay for a fire department when most houses don't even burn down.

I'm a SNAP recipient... for the last month I was tightening my belt, doing my best to eat cheaper and eating less so I'd have a little left over to help get me through when payments were cut. It was all for nothing. Fuck the dems who supported this.

These are either the most stupid or most naive senators in history. Either way, they are obviously not up to their jobs.

I think tonight shows why “moderate to win elections” is a real risk

the big divide in the Dem caucus, as many have noted, has been less moderate vs progressive than fight versus don’t fight

but it’s not a coincidence that basically everyone in the “don’t fight” camp is a moderate

Never been happier I’m a hockey fan. 🏒

If they fold, it will be unforgivable. 😢

Dear Democratic Senators: if you vote for this selling out of the ACA it will be the end of your careers. Depend upon it. You are there to defend this country against Trump and the fascists, not collude with them. If you become Quislings, you will forever REMAIN Quislings

If the Senate Dems fold now, it would be unforgivable. That is all.

Cyndi Lauper calls for courage and Salt-N-Pepa romp through 'Push It' as they join Rock Hall of Fame Cyndi Lauper has turned “True Colors” into a powerful anthem at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

Cyndi Lauper turned “True Colors” into a defiant call for courage and the music of Outkast, Soundgarden and the White Stripes brought waves of emotion Saturday night at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

It doesn't have to be this way.

This is me. ☕️

Perhaps also a variant with jalapeños called the Explosive Acquittal as well.

This might be funny if it wasn’t so pathetic and giving off the stench of desperation.

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC

I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents.

I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

X Post by Michael Adams, Kentucky Secretary of State: "We’re getting calls about polls being closed. They are closed because we do not have elections today. Kentucky votes next year. You cannot vote today in Kentucky for the mayor of New York City or the Governor of Virginia. Sorry."

What happens when you distill 2025 into a single social media post?

This.

This is what you get.

Voted. 🗳️

Trump is the embodiment of the story of THE WIZARD OF OZ. Like the wizard, he’s a conman; like Dorothy’s friends, he has no brain, no heart, and no courage; like the witch, he craves only power. The rest of us are Dorothy–we just want to go home. #USPolitics

It may not be Dems who are constantly doing identity politics

Grocers Scrap Discounts for SNAP Recipients After Threats From Trump Administration Democrats quickly decried the USDA’s decision, calling it a “cruel” tactic to preserve Republicans’ political leverage at the expense of those needing food assistance.

THe only possible point is cruelty
Is this what YOU voted for??

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

This is pure cruelty! The SNAP program has a rule mandating that retailers treat SNAP customers equally—it was meant to protect them from discrimination.

But SNAP just sent a notice to retailers warning them they can't offer discounts to SNAP customers who now have no money to shop with! 😡

Do you understand the violence it took to become this gentle? Says Skeletor with kittens.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

I’d argue that it’s just that news corporations discovered it was far more profitable to feed people what they wanted to hear, rather than what was actually true. That is, upon further reflection, probably two sides of the same coin.

…in a misguided attempt to win over those who show no misgivings about this authoritarian takeover.

Conservatives telling Dems to “moderate” shows self-unawareness that is breathtaking. You’re welcome in our big tent, but seeing how your hunger for power cost you your own party, you are in no position to tell us how to run ours. The Dems will guarantee electoral failure by alienating their base…
