I was just denied entry to the Dilley detention facility while my constituent, seven-year-old Diana, remains inside.

What kind of sick, horrific conditions are children being forced to endure in there?

I will be back tomorrow. Accountability can’t wait.

If you're a soldier in the 11th Airborne Division being ordered to prep for deployment to Minnesota or Greenland, remember that you have the right to apply for conscientious objector status.

FRIEND: what are you doing this weekend?

ME: slowly crumbling from the gruesome balancing act of needing to stay informed while trying to salvage enough healthy headspace to be able to continue to support myself

FRIEND: cool, cool

unfortunately, most of my political beliefs come from a deep-seeded desire for humanity to thrive and people to be allowed to exist that I primarily inherited from a 90's tv show with a bald spaceship captain who really likes earl grey tea

...When I read in public, it's to prevent me thinking the opinions of those around me overmuch rather than an attempt to influence those opinions...

that's... there's people that may think I read for reasons that aren't "keep myself busy / entertained"!?

Good thing I'm reading instead of chatting!

Fact Check: Did Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy say pilots don’t need air traffic controllers? Viral posts claim Sean Duffy said that pilots need to 'suck it up and go with their gut feelings' instead of relying on air traffic controllers

Trump announces 'TrumpRx' website for pharmaceutical drugs after Pfizer deal Trump said the move will help improve healthcare access for low-income Americans.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should you give a list of the prescriptions you take to a federal government that has directly targeted people with chronic illness, mental illness, disability, autism, etc, with the eugenic language of elimination and stated outright they’re everything wrong with the country.

Federal Government Shutdown Looms: What Every Worker Must Know | AFL-CIO President
YouTube video by AFL-CIO Federal Government Shutdown Looms: What Every Worker Must Know | AFL-CIO President

Everyone will feel the pain of a government shutdown.

Federal workers who make our country run will be without jobs, essential services stalled, and - with no permanent extension of the ACA’s tax credits, health insurance premiums will explode.

Call Congress NOW: 855-493-4407

As the Trump admin continues its all-out assault on the bargaining rights of federal workers, we have the votes to stop their union-busting.

Americans haven’t been this united since September 12th, 2001.

It is an outrage that there is still not enough aid making it to Gazans in need.

And I'm horrified to see innocent civilians being targeted and killed as they try to seek out aid.

Rubio needs to address GHF's complicity in the starvation and killing of innocent Palestinians.

All Biden had to do…NOPE.

All Harris had to do…NOPE.

All you had to do was vote against the man that literally said he was going to be a dictator on day one.

Fuck all the other sideshow bs…he literally told you what he was going to do.

Him saying that should have been the only messaging needed.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.

A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP β€” which is about to get cut.

If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

β€˜It’s harsh. It’s mean, brutal’: Trump bill to cause most harm to America’s poorest President embraces Robin-Hood-in-reverse policies to benefit wealthiest and hurt those earning under $50,000

The Trump admin is ripping health care away from 17 million people, cutting hundreds of thousands of jobs & giving families higher billsβ€”all to pay for tax breaks for the rich.

Working people will hear the truth of what happened in Washington last week.

First and foremost, alt text must always be informative and descriptive of the content in the image. It can have character and humor, but it still needs to be informative and descriptive. Alt text is not a place to add easter eggs or jokes for sighted users.

Standing up for each other is a trainable skill- so train it.

All you can do to help is to prevent others from giving up?
Do it.

All you can do is to pray / etc towards the kind of future that you think will benefit the world overall?
Do it.

Rest when you need to; help when you can. Stay loving.
