Proud to be American 60+yrs, until now! Had a career of public service saving lives. We're letting a convicted conman, Putin's ASSet, destroy US from within. Republican voters are responsible (period). I will fight back till my last breath.

Oh and by the way, we've had roughly 2M federal employees since the 1940s though our population has more than doubled.

Until we have replicators, we will need wealth redistribution.

β€˜Of course he knew about the girls’ It’s Wednesday. There are 356 days until the midterm elections. More funny business at Fannie Mae, Pete Hegseth is human garbage and Epstein said Trump knew.

If you recently learned that the Supreme Court granted review in a major voting case and the Utah GOP suffered a defeat in their effort to rig maps, you probably subscribe to Democracy Docket.

DeLauro: The president went to the supreme court to deprive kids of food. Unbelievable. And now wants to deny their parents healthcare.

They have no healthcare plan. They only have a plan to take away what exists.

Clark: So what are we doing here today? You have already voted to dismantle medicaid, the largest health care program in America. A program that covers 40% of all births in this country. 40% of children in this country. 40% of disabled people in this country.

The first and last lines of Joni Ernst’s legacy as a human on earth will be that she was instrumental in the confirmation of the Sec of Defense most hostile to women serving in military, and she knew that when she voted for him.

And, how many poor people use a food delivery service? Let alone the 100's of millions of Americans who cook.
This can't possibly be for real.

Thought Roy was going to say, We're doing this during a shutdown? But no, his concern was for Jan 6 criminals. (Yeah, I know the legislation was so corrupt seditious Republican senators can get reimbursed for Jan 6 legal fees. But, come on...)

If there wasn't already so much shit going on that it makes my head spin, this would likely be the biggest news from here to the next election.
Republicans (at this point, all of them) are the most f'd up people.

Jeffries: "It's unbelievable that for 7 plus weeks Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva has been denied the ability to serve more than 800,000 people in Arizona because Republicans are running a pedophile protection program."

We're literally paying for it.
Personally I'd like the bleeding, due to pure ignorance, to stop. I can't fathom how much money Trump will have cost our nation when he's done screwing us over.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

I'm supporting Feeding America! To feed America’s hungry through food banks and engage our country in the fight to end hunger

Got tired of reading the news and getting mad. Feeding America backs 200+ food banks around the country and I've seeded with $500 for now. I'll match up to another $500 myself.

Pass the hat, RTs graciously appreciated, etc.

They fired every Black woman at Teen Vogue and every trans staffer.

It is astonishing watching the American media ecosystem just falling like dominoes, bowing its knees to fascism.

Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People β€œWhat Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

NEW 🚨 @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social made time to catch up with @teenvogue.com in advance of Tuesday's elections πŸ—³οΈ

we talked about the campaign's base of energized young people, and why politics isn't just about the ballot box β€” it's about "a sense of belonging in the city that you call home."

The federal government wants to crack down on left organizing. A century ago, it largely succeeded. Socialist labor leader and presidential candidate Eugene Debs upon his release from federal prison in 1922.

I had this piece in the pipeline at Teen Vogue when the news dropped; I'm publishing it to my Substack because I think it's important and I don't want an interview with Adam Hochschild to go to waste.
