Before tonight, just a friendly reminder that clowning is super fun, but if Taylor doesn’t announce something we made up in our heads, that’s not her fault!! Of course if something happens, that’s awesome!! But if it doesn’t, that’s also ok! 🫶🫶

To carry 50,000 people per hour in each direction, a city needs a 175m wide road for cars. Even if those cars are electric. And then there’s all the parking. OR a city can move A LOT MORE people in a lot less space, with A LOT LESS public money and pollution. Via UITPnews

"And when I ask myself, what would Jesus do, the answer is clear. Remove health insurance from the poorest of Americans so the richest pay slightly less taxes,"

Republicans Pass Bill Gutting Medicare and Medicaid in Middle of Night Vote House Democrats pushed back by introducing over 500 amendments in 24-hour committee fight meidasnews.com/news/republi...

Late last night, Republicans on the House Budget Committee voted to advance Trump’s Tax Scam that would gut Medicaid and SNAP to give billionaires even more tax cuts. Every Republican needs to hear from their constituents today. Call now if you’re in a GOP district: indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Congrats to all Republicans and 16 Democrats for passing the Bribing The President Is Legal Now Act. A cool side effect of this bill is it makes it considerably easier for your kid to buy fentanyl-laced narcotics from a new class of predators on Minecraft, also likely created by this bill.

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life. Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

Hey there! I'm reaching out because Beau, Chris's dog, needs urgent surgery to remove a mass from his eyelid that's affecting his vision. Every donation, no matter how small, will make a difference for Beau and help cover his medical needs. Thank you! www.gofundme.com/f/please-hel...

Another historic transfer of wealth from the bottom to the top

With this delivery today, we are now out of funds for our Mother’s Day 365 program due to the loss of 2 recurring grants due to the Trump administration. Please consider supporting us here as donations have been stagnant tpfwoman2woman.funraise.org

100 men vs. 1 gorilla? How about the working class against the oligarchy? The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. This is the real fight we need to be talking about.

White House chronicles

We're in this mess not just because of Trump. We're in this mess because of a delinquent Republican-controlled Congress that has abdicated its constitutional duties and has allowed--indeed applauded--a malignant president to ignore separation of powers.

Your School House Rock moment...🤔

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

NEW: The Trump admin is moving to cancel $1 billion in school mental health grants, which were created with bipartisan support to hire psychologists and counselors. These resources were proven to reduce gun violence, but Trump wants them gone. He’s endangering our kids.

Cuts to food pantries are careless and cruel. Yet the Trump Administration is doing it — by cutting funds for USDA, farmers and food banks, in PA and every other state, are hurting. I will not stand for it. Our humanity demands we fight back.

Why is it up to @rollingstone.com to write the most honest and direct headlines? www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left." It’s between democracy and oligarchy. The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us. They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

Glad yall finally getting on one accord

The USDA has withdrawn a plan to impose stronger safety regulations limiting salmonella levels in raw poultry. Who was the biggest donor to Trump's inauguration fund? Pilgrim’s Pride — one of the largest chicken processors in the country. See how this works?

remember they didnt burn witches. they set women on fire and pretended they were witches.

CEO to worker pay in: 1989 ➡️ 61:1 2025 ➡️ 399:1 Current Target CEO to worker pay: ‼️719:1‼️ So no, we’re STILL not shopping at Target.

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101.

Quick point. Congress can use the spending fight in September (remember Chuck Schumer surrendered till then) to prevent a single dollar from being used to house prisoners in El Salvador.

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election. 70% of these donations went to Republicans. Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich. This is what oligarchy looks like.

WATCH: “Billionaires now pay a lower effective tax rate than working Americans. One reason why? Trump’s tax cuts.” #WealthTaxNow

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.  That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

a lesson for every college, law firm, business, etc. — if these chodes demand you do something, your first response should be some form of "make me"

60 Minutes“could not find criminal records” for 75% of the 238 men the Trump admin sent to a Salvadoran prison. Of the 22% that had records, the “vast majority are for non-violent offenses.” Trump admin still insists they’re “terrorists.” www.cbsnews.com/news/what-re...

Vote YES this November 4th to retain all three Supreme Court Justices, Pennsylvania! @padems.org

CDC’s top laboratory on sexually transmitted diseases is shut down by the Trump administration ‘We are now blind,’ researcher says, noting the lab is crucial to tracking drug-resistant gonorrhea and other diseases. www.statnews.com/2025/04/05/c...

THIS. #HandsOff

"This isn't inflation, it's corporations ripping you off." via Jenny Schramm

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) fired all staff who oversee contracts with companies that process Medicare claims and pay healthcare providers. Reimbursements could slow to a crawl. Patients doctors, and hospitals will be affected. This is very bad. #ProtectMedicare #MomSky

Authoritarians depend on you obeying in advance and not resisting. Every act of disruption weakens them and slows down their plan. It's a crack. The cracks add up. This is why what Cory Booker is doing is important compared to the weak complicity of Schumer and others.

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

Breathtaking. A federal prosecutor in LA was fired Friday at the behest of the White House, after lawyers for a fast-food executive he was prosecuting pushed officials in DC to drop all charges against him White House ordered firing of L.A. federal prosecutor on ex-Fatburger CEO case, sources say

SO MUCH WINNING @padems.org

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.
