Let's reboot an oldie but goodie. A good start would be #SinglePayer healthcare like #MedicareForAll

The Supreme Court decision allowing DOGE full, unfettered access to the public's most sensitive personal data is a loss for all of us. No one in history -- no commissioner, no president, no one -- has ever had the access that these DOGE minions have.

22-year-old Cole Schmidtknecht's asthma medicine abruptly jumped from $55 to $700. Unable to get the medicine he needed, he left without it. Cole suffered an asthma attack and died 5 days later. His inhaler was empty & his insurance corp was UnitedHealth. www.qasimrashid.com/p/did-united...

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

Dozens of companies who sponsored Pride marches last year have pulled out this year, including: Dyson Nivea Tiffany & Co. Capital One UPS Disney DoorDash Live Nation Nissan Citi Corporate Pride was always a hoax. https://popular.info/p/pride-and-prejudice-in-corporate

They called her a mad cat woman and tried to destroy her reputation. Then they dragged her through the courts and tried to destroy her life. But @carolecadwalla.bsky.social is standing tall and continues telling the inconvenient truth. A must see. youtu.be/vG7CvbccdVM?...

How many times don't we use this to bombard the rt wing with it? This might actually get through. I had a full ride to a great NYS school- if you didn't, tuition was, get this- under $300. This is what fully funded by taxes can do.

This is a shit ton more cost-effective than what is happening in the United States right now.

Trump's Big Bill: -Expands his power to ignore court rulings -Gives the ultra-wealthy an even bigger estate tax break -Disqualifies nearly 2M children from the child tax credit -Adds unnecessary red tape that would kick millions of people off Medicaid It's a big, ugly mess.

How republicans have and are destroying education. Republicans are not good for America!

As of May 29, 2025, ICE has 635 active agreements in 40 states—deputizing local cops to act as ICE. Do you have idea what just happened? Thousands of these asshole thugs will be deputized as ICE agents from all over 40 states! Be careful who you talk to, they could be working for ICE. WTF 🤬

More than a century after the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, one of the most horrific episodes of racial violence in U.S. history, the city’s mayor announced a $105 million reparations package on Sunday. It is the first large-scale plan committing funds to address the impact of the atrocity.

“The Trump administration is escalating its campaign against Harvard University — and looking for new ways to bring the storied institution to heel.” This is exactly what Viktor Orban did in Hungary - it’s what tyrants and aspiring dictators have always done www.politico.com/news/2025/05...
