Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics.

Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages.

If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

First flush! I need to improve my mushroom cooking skills.

Mushrooms provide important nutrients, and my grocery store only sells portobello. Plus it's fun.

Growing mushrooms is such satisfying, pretty-fast gratification.

The fight for civil rights and workers’ rights are deeply connected. That’s why America’s unions organize every day for dignity, respect and justice for working people. #BlackHistoryMonth

I have no words today. Just cute parrots who somehow get me through this shitshow.

Are you smarter than Mike Johnson? All signs point to yes.

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche needs to resign.

He got the law wrong about patronizing sex parties with alleged child trafficking. He failed to redact names of victims & pictures of children. AND he moved Ghislaine Maxwell to a minimum-security prison & got her a puppy.

Remember her name: Aliya Rahman

ICE MUST GO‼️

Vizy makes it hard to get a clear shot of his blue beak.

Y’all have lost the thread. 🇺🇸

We just want to go back to the cottage.

“It is one of the scariest moments of my life and in my career to know that a fellow journalist, an award winning journalist, a vetted journalist, whose credentials are impeccable, is right now sitting in federal custody for doing her duty.”

Is this real? Please tell me this is real

They're lying!

Voting NO on the DHS funding bill is the bare minimum.

Backing Kristi Noem’s impeachment is the bare minimum.

Holding law-breaking ICE agents legally accountable is the bare minimum.

ICE is beyond reform. Abolish it.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Berries are a good, even in #FascistAmerica

Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and Keith Porter Jr. were murdered. Marimar Martinez was shot. Mahmoud Khalil was arrested and jailed.

The next could be you.

What’s at stake isn’t just our democracy. It’s also your safety and security and that of your loved ones.

This is personal — to every one of us.
