There’s still time to call senators. Let me explain. Sorry not sorry about the cat. He’s also really upset about this deal.

THEY PEPPER SPRAYED A BABY

THEY PEPPER SPRAYED A BABY

Please read this entire excellent piece by Caroline, which points out that a judge ordered the Feds (again) to stop doing **this exact kind of thing** and they are still continuing to do it all over Chicago

The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)

They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.

The Senate Democrats!

Disabled People are Being Mistreated in ICE Detention Facilities Why is no one talking about it? Where's the media? Where's the public outcry? Another example of the pervasive nature of ableism and how society views disabled people as expendable.

There’s a disturbing lack of outrage over ICE’s aggressive tackling and arrest of a non verbal autistic man in Chicago.

Just like the lack of outrage over Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s been held in solitary for months.

Disabled lives matter too!

Donate to Help Laid-Off Teen Vogue Staffers Recover, organized by Lexi McMenamin More than half the team at Teen Vogue was laid off this week by our parent co… Lexi McMenamin needs your support for Help Laid-Off Teen Vogue Staffers Recover

thank you for the outpouring of support!

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday are now sharing our GoFundMe to help us cover our emergency expenses now that we've lost our incomes, as we get back on our feet.

This…is frickin’ good.

The faction that wants the state to provide more services in exchange for higher taxes faces more pressure to deliver, yes.

This is also why extremism in modern democracies is usually far-right, not far-left - it thrives on not delivering, and the right can more easily lower delivery expectations.

Trump won in 2024 by 1.5%pts and the press acted like he got a mandate to be god-emperor, can’t wait for them to be dismissive of victories in places the Democratic Party hasn’t won in 20 years

Good morning from my sweet doggo to yours!

If you need some help with your pooches…check out some resources here.

Feeding America (which partners with most major food banks across the US that I’m aware of) has a handy search tool!

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

With millions at risk of losing SNAP in the coming days, a reminder: hunger doesn't happen in isolation. When food assistance disappears, families use rent money to eat. Then come evictions and homelessness.

Housing, food, healthcare—it's all connected. Cut one thread and the whole thing unravels.

Hot off the presses! If you need a bigger size to print your stickers let me know!

Truth, morality and independence in journalism under the second Trump regime My full remarks to students and faculty at Grennell College.

New — I was fortunate to speak in front of students and faculty at Grinnell College in Iowa tonight about the business of independent journalism, the current state of media under Trump 2.0, and billionaire control.

I published my full speech because I thought it might resonate beyond campus:

Exactly this

Happy #caturday
Be sure to hold paws with someone today.

Unfortunately, it still says private address. If anyone knows where people are gathering in the Twin Cities, please post. Thanks!

Hi! I've signed up, but still haven't been sent location info.

Federal agencies hiding out in a bunker

Would love to see you in the Twin Cities!

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

My partner died two months ago. I've been so numb, but this broke through. Thank you. 💜

Happy Easter to all who are celebrating today.

This season of renewal invites us all to believe in the triumph of light over darkness, life over death, love over hate.
