What’s crazy is that on r/conservative, the only thing they are willing to say is “buy low, sell high.”

DO NOT give your money to Jeff Bezos. He has plenty. Make a list of the books you want to buy as gifts and buy or order from a local bookstore...if you want those stores to continue to exist.

Endorsement photo
@runforsomething.net is doing incredible work with candidates ready to meet the moment. I’m honored to have their endorsement. The status quo isn’t working for a lot of people right now. So this is really about changing who has power in Trenton and whose voices get heard.

This comes at a time when our union is continuing to fight for fair contracts with strong protections, and stand up against Starbucks's repeated union-busting.

RFK is a eugenics freak first and foremost and everything falls downstream from that. he *wants* excess deaths. he thinks that only the "fit" should survive.

This is really the whole ball game right now, *particularly* among the institutions that make up civil society.

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer.
"Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.
🚨 BREAKING: A judge has ruled that thousands of fired federal workers must be rehired immediately after being wrongfully terminated! This is what we mean when we say protect workers' rights. Checks and balances exist for a reason—so we don’t live under an authoritarian government.

Rep. Chuck Edwards is getting torn apart at a town hall in Asheville, NC.
“I’m a veteran & you don’t give a fuck about me. You don’t get to do this to us!”
Edwards orders veteran to be thrown out.
We’re approaching a tipping point now. Anger across the country is going to boil over soon.

First of all, you're wrong! The administration *is* following many of the court orders.
What's more, they're showing their understanding of the validity of court orders by seeking stays pending appeal when they lose.

This is a fight for our families. Medicaid covers doctor visits, prescriptions, care for millions of children, veterans, people with disabilities and working adults. Don’t stay silent—demand Congress votes “NO” to cut Medicaid.

The African Development Foundation (budget ~$40 million) is putting up a fight and denying DOGE + Pete Marocco — the State Dept official dismantling USAID — access to their building:
📢 Thousands of University of California workers are on strike—and for good reason.
UC’s unfair bargaining tactics are an attack on workers who keep campuses running. No worker should have to fight this hard for fair wages and respect.✊🏾

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.
It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.
They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.
I’m happy to invest and/or help
Excerpt from a public letter Roald Dahl wrote encouraging people to vaccinate their children. Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything. “Are you feeling all right?” I asked her. “I feel all sleepy,” she said. In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead. The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was twenty-four years ago in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her. On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunized against measles. I was unable to do that for Olivia in 1962 because in those days a reliable measles vaccine had not been discovered. Today a good and safe vaccine is available to every family and all you have to do is to ask your doctor to administer it.
The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.
