Abolish health insurance. Let’s dream of something better and fight for it.

AI is a cancer

WHY ARE YOU USING THEM IF YOU THINK THEY ARE UNETHICAL?!??

this is objectively hilarious

Just came from a local organizing meeting & my god people the cops are never ever ever ever gonna be on “our side” especially in a police state
Our imaginations have been so captured we can’t imagine our way out of this trap it’s literally the #1 obstacle ppl want to rely on what made this possible

Sign in a LIBRARY: Fuck social media. marry books. kill AI.

The Walton family surely does

Maine abortion clinics to end primary care services after being denied Medicaid funding One of Maine’s largest abortion care providers is ending primary care after a court ruled that the Trump administration is not required to restore Medicaid funding.

So proud of @vanessashieldshaas.bsky.social and the work she is doing to get care to every corner of Maine.

And I think you’re right about this being a turning point - things have been slowly getting worse and this is about to turn up the heat right quick.

It does have hunger games but make it nonfiction written all over it. I’m furious and sad for my community, our communities.

It’s disgusting that this is what we are choosing. If you can, donate money to local food banks and connect with mutual aid groups to build community supports.

Info graphic in red that reads wear snap cuts will hit hardest. Top 10 Massachusetts communities with the highest percentage of its population who receive snap benefits: number one Springfield 47.4%; number two Holyoke 43.3%; number three Lawrence: 41.7%; number four Southbridge: 35.6%; number five, Fall River: 34.3%; number six New Bedford 34.2%; number seven Brockton: 33.6%; number eight N. Adams 33.5%; number nine Fitchburg: 30.3%; number 10 Chicopee: 29.6%.

Cruelty is the point. The city I live in will shoulder disproportionate harm related to this cut and that sucks. Food is health. Food is a human right. Cutting food support is a far-reaching form of violence.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Again, I'm in the cheap seats here just watching the show, but the fact that the richest Americans are acting with such open contempt for the rest of the nation seems not just bad for the country but possibly *really* bad for their own fates too.

They're making a different bet now, it seems.

Not this time, SCOTUS. You’ll have to pry my wedding band off my hand.

the kids are alright

Is It Perimenopause or the Fascist Death Knell of Late-Stage Capitalism? Are my hot flashes due to an estrogen imbalance or a rapidly warming planet hastened by unaccountable oil barons who own our elections? Am I irrita...

The end of federal enforcement of special ed laws. Some states - including MN - will likely be ok. But a lot of disabled kids in a lot of states are going to lose the education that federal law and decades of jurisprudence say they are owed.

Things are happening at Portland's ICE facility tonight.

I don’t really understand the people who think we shouldn’t situate the current moment in context of the last 25 years in American politics, including the actions of the three Democrats who were president during that time

The United States has never needed to be "controlled" to do genocide.

The United States isn't an uwu smol bean empire with an uwu smol bean Pentagon and uwu smol bean world's largest carceral state. We're directly responsible for genocides against multiple Indigenous nations,

LOSER SHIT

this is, no exaggeration, some of the most loser shit i have ever seen in my life

"Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians not directly taking part in hostilities, even if they are believed to be smuggling drugs."

hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.

Uh, the man operating as President of the United States has illegally deployed the military into another US city with the intention of provoking dissent that will be met with lethal violence, and you want to negotiate with the people who think this is fine? What the fuck is wrong with you?

LOL how precious.
