There's literally hundreds of millions of us and only a few of them.

One thing I’ve learned in social work: most of us are way closer to being unhoused than we think. A job loss, medical bill, divorce, or emergency and suddenly you’re sleeping in your car. Housing insecurity isn’t about bad choices… it's about being one crisis away from losing everything.

The Supreme Court's Birthright Citizenship Ruling Is a Five-Alarm Catastrophe In Trump v. CASA, the court hands the president yet more unaccountable authorityβ€”and yanks us into a neo-Confederate legal nightmare.

Make no mistake, the SCOTUS decision about birthright citizenship IS ALSO ABOUT *birthright citizenship.*
The Court is using nationwide injunctions as the tail, wagging the dog, to take us back to an Antebellum view of citizenship.
That way led to war once.

Seven Things to Know About ProPublica’s Investigation of the FDA’s Secret Gamble on Generic Drugs ProPublica spent 14 months investigating the FDA’s oversight of foreign drugmakers that send medications to the U.S. These are the key takeaways.

The FDA allowed into the United States at least 150 drugs or their ingredients made at banned factories that were found to have mold, foul water, dirty labs or fraudulent testing protocols.

I’m sorry so legally, you have to keep a family member alive and then you also have to pay for it?! This is infuriating on so many levels.

You lose your bodily autonomy by getting experimented on after death AND put your family into debt because of a law you had no control over.

It’s sick.

While we wait for the Supreme Court to rule in a critical redistricting case from Louisiana, this is what the GOP is up to in Texas and Ohio. Remember the GOP's plan is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.

One thing that I haven't seen said in the last 24 hours is that the Democratic Party had an opportunity, as an institution, to help shape, foster, and direct the grassroots popular uprising against Trump II.

They made a conscious decision not to.

If the media covered science as reverentially as it does religion, we'd all be better off.

If everyone who attended a protest this weekend signed a strike card, we’d be about half-way to the number needed to shut this country down.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

I am BEGGING people to frame this properly. The issue here is not one colossal blunder where a reporter got info. The issue is it’s clear these people are all routinely ignoring the most absolutely basic security protocols, and WE HAVE NO IDEA what breaches this has already enabled.

The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

This may be the biggest free speech crisis in living memory. The president now bragging about detaining a lawful permanent resident and smearing him as 'pro Hamas', no outlining any specific crimes he is accused of or charged with. This is what a fascist takeover looks like.

The fact that Musk has lost $100B over the last month but is still the wealthiest person on Earth and financially unharmed in the slightestβ€”all while wealth and income inequality is worse now than it was after the Great Depressionβ€”is Exhibit A on why we need to tax billionaires out of existence.

Would this be a similar social crisis if it happened to women consistently for decades and decades and decades, and would it be appropriate in that case to take countervailing action rather than categorically oppose all countervailing action, is a question that occurs to me for no particular reason

@schumer.senate.gov You are NOT the leader for this moment. Your fecklessness and lack of imagination for how to stop the wheels of fascism from crushing our country is why we are here. Your time has passed. It’s time for fresh leadership that knows how to message and move the people. Step aside!

I think the energy that can be harnessed right now if someone in a leadership position wants to step up and be a leader is extraordinary.

Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

I feel like people don’t understand how bad this abortion fight is about to get or how far into poverty a forced pregnancy can sink a person.

What will end up happening is using low income people as breeders to provide children for white evangelicals.

That domestic supply of infants.

The Pro-Birth Accountability Act is a phenomenal bill that should be replicated far and wide. Call your representatives and demand it.

Yet another sign that Trump's support was really about the legitimate economic anxieties of working class Americans, I'm betting.
