Immigrants didn’t make your healthcare unaffordable. Trans people didn’t ship jobs overseas. The ultra-rich did.

Billionaires scapegoat marginalized people to hide their greed. Don’t fall for it.

The administration that uncancelled swastikas yesterday wants us to believe that it is blackmailing universities because it is so sincerely against antisemitism?

A treasure trove of rare and historic American music is now available online for free.

5,000 songs from private collectors have already been preserved and uploaded, and "thousands more are in the pipeline".

I stand with unionized Starbucks workers, who are on strike across the country right now for better wages and working conditions.

Until Starbucks strikes a fair bargain with its workers and ceases its union-busting behavior, I'll continue to boycott the company.

Trump is opening an "investigation" because that precludes DOJ from being allowed to release the files.

They aren’t doing it this time because the numbers are fucking terrible.

Casual reminder that the myth of β€œpulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Ezra Levin on Bluesky: β€œI'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.

It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.”

🚨 We’re hearing that Senate Democrats are on the verge of caving to Trump in another β€œSchumer Surrender.”

That means your Democratic senators need to hear from you right now.

Two people were killed last night in Chicago during an armed robberyβ€”and witnesses were too afraid to contact law enforcement, fearing ICE might show up and kidnap people.

Nobody in America is safer when people are too scared to call the police.

it does seem like there’s a majorβ€”though potentially fleetingβ€”opportunity to invest in left-wing media. more than a million people in the most populous city in america just enthusiastically elected a democratic socialist and the world is watching. putting $$ towards left media rn is good business.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink.

I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.

President Orange Julius Caesar and his ilk claim that guns are a God given right but don’t feel that food is a God given right. They claim to care about babies but don’t care if they go hungry when they become children.

SNAP recipients work. That so many Americans rely on food assistance shows the deep rot of inequality in πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ.

Corporations underpaying workers who then rely on the government is the real problem.

CORPORATE WELFARE is the only welfare everyone should be blaming.
