"Why don't people support welfare programs?"

Racism. More specifically, anti-Blackness.

White folks asked about who welfare serves overestimate the number of Black people on welfare. Not only that, but just the mere THOUGHT of who welfare supports led less white people to support it. #blacksky

On the eve of his second election — on October 31, 1936 — FDR delivered his coup de grace, explaining the stakes in his fight with the moneyed interests.

Today’s economic royalists are backing Trump, and the fight is much the same.

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.

Propaganda and foreign interference in the form of misinformation is literally everywhere online. Apparently you’re above that so congratulations

Pleasseeeeee don’t learn history on social media 🙏 -from a person w a useless history degree

YouTube video by CIDRAP Vaccine Integrity Project - Response to HHS claims about vaccines (Oct 2025)

When RFK Jr. spreads misinformation about vaccines, scientists respond. CIDRAP/Vaccine Integrity Project presents good data on how vaccines have reduced crippling diseases such a polio, small pox, pertussis.

@cidrap.bsky.social has good information on vaccines.

Herbal supplements were supposed to make them healthier. Instead, they got sick Common compounds like turmeric and ashwagandha can overwhelm the liver and lead to health complications

I often get attacked for posting about the potential harms caused by dietary supplements, and I do not care.

It’s important for the public to have accurate information.

Supplements are made by companies just like Big Pharma, except without intensive FDA oversight.

They can cause harm.

How Trump is Building a Violent, Shadowy Federal Police Force Trump’s DHS appointees have dismantled civil rights guardrails, protected agents’ anonymity and encouraged them to wear masks, threatened groups that stood in their way, and overwhelmed legal challeng...

Six months after ICE apprehended 47 people, including nine kids, in Hays County, Tex., County Judge Ruben Becerra says DHS has ignored his attempts to get answers:

“We’re not told why they took them, and we’re not told where they took them. By definition, that’s a kidnapping.”

Average people making good trouble.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker explains what he believes is Donald Trump's real goal in normalizing a military presence in U.S. cities by dressing ICE and Border Patrol agents in military gear.

Watch:

Alt text: Screenshot of a Fox News Digital article reporting that Apple removed the ICEBlock tracking app from its App Store after the Department of Justice raised safety concerns. The article states DOJ officials, under Attorney General Pam Bondi, asked Apple to take down the app, claiming it endangered law enforcement officers and shielded illegal immigrants. Bondi confirmed the removal in a statement, saying ICEBlock put ICE agents at risk and emphasized DOJ’s commitment to protecting federal officers.

This was done at the direction of Pam Bondi. The US government is now dictating what apps you can have on your phone.

The underlying threat here is if Apple didn't comply, they'd slap billions in tariffs on Apple products.

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

A bunch of folks have asked about my "Long Arc of Fascism" course - this is my opening lecture at our public teach-in last Spring.

No one talks about that kind of grief but it’s so intense. Sending good vibes your way

How RFK Jr.’s misguided science on mRNA vaccines is shaping policy − a vaccine expert examines the false claims Chaos at the CDC and the sharp move away from mRNA vaccines has public health experts alarmed.

There was a slew of false statements made about COVID19 mRNA vaccines yesterday.

I can’t recommend highly enough this article from May by Dr. Deborah Fuller to clear up a lot of the chaff.

I Almost Died After Giving Birth. Texas Just Made That More Likely for Everyone. The Women and Child Protection Act does not protect anyone. Instead, it will cause clinicians to second guess themselves.

Minutes ago, the Texas Senate passed HB7, which will incentivize people to bring $100,000 lawsuits against anyone who makes, sends, or transports abortion medication in Texas.

There are lots of rumors flying around about what might happen to COVID vaccine access, but please note we still do not have any official news yet.

While we wait, there are things you can do:
1️⃣ Wear a mask to prevent COVID transmission
2️⃣ Push your elected officials to speak up about vaccine access

People are constantly asking me — what can I do? Between now and the 2026 midterm elections, here are five practical steps you can take to make a difference.

YouTube is secretly using AI to edit people's videos

Michigan man who had never been to Iraq was deported there. He couldn't get insulin and died. "Jimmy died tragically yesterday of a diabetic crisis. His death could have and should have been prevented," said Jimmy Aldaoud's congressman in Michigan.

Thinking about Jimmy Aldaoud today, who was an undocumented immigrant with type 1 diabetes and of Iraqi descent (had never been there and didn’t speak their language). The Trump administration deported him to Iraq in 2019, where he died on the streets of Baghdad from DKA. Pure evil.

White Americans as a group refuse to understand that their "concerns" about, e.g., crime and immigration are a fake pretext for maintaining the racial and gender caste system they have benefited from their entire lives.

If “good” white men cared about saving their nation, they’d organize themselves and infiltrate I.C.E.

It wouldn’t be difficult. The organization is anonymous—famously. Mask up and get to work‼️

You people should be gathering intel, identifying weak spots and opportunities for sabotage. 🇺🇸
