Let’s clear something up: SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — the LARGEST federal program to fight hunger in the country! It blows my mind that the party that touts its “Christian values” is the same party that is SET on taking food from the hungry.

I hope everyone knows that it's very easy for any social content platform, including Bluesky, to be a misery machine and that if you aren't intentional about it, they will absolutely decrease the positive impact you have on the world while making you less happy.

Trump's incompetence is everywhere. His regime can’t keep military secrets. It can’t maintain financial stability. It can’t protect children from measles. While we resist Trump’s authoritarianism, we also need to highlight his utter inability to govern America.

Not to toot my own horn but I predicted this to my pastor in early 2015 long before he got the GOP nomination the first time. He said “that’s never gonna happen” and I said “it will as long as people like you think it ‘never’ could.”

There are three kinds of people: People who think suffering is okay as long as it's borne by the right people; People who think suffering is okay because they had to suffer; People who think suffering isn't okay. Be in the last category.

Actually they did. That’s why we have checks and balances. Which the GOP has systematically destroyed over the last 40 years while convincing their followers that the destruction of the constitution is exactly what the constitution intended. Also, the constitution wasn’t written to include us all.

Imagining being such a tool that when an 88 year old man who has been sick for sometime dies after briefly meeting with you people still low key wonder if you killed him

So many people who publicly sold their souls are just as publicly learning what happens when you are alive with no soul. Trophies wither at your touch, holy men stay alive just long enough to curse you, you lose your shit at an Ulta Beauty and think you've won, your own purse peaces out. I love it.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Yes, going "no contact" w/ a family member or ending a well-established relationship is kind of "extreme"-- which should give an indication of how painful, dangerous, or soul-crushing the relationship had become, not how "impulsive" or "selfish" the person making the choice is.

Today marks the 250th anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord, which began the American Revolution. Our nation was founded on resistance to arbitrary authority and monarchical power. We built a democracy in the face of impossible odds. We must continue to protect it.

There is nothing wrong with limiting your exposure to or engagement w/ people who are not particularly sensitive to how their language & tone impact those around them. Nobody's handing out medals for enduring triggering behavior just to prove you can.

Trauma survivors tend to be particularly sensitive to whether people do or don't follow through on what they promise. Our trust issues don't come out of nowhere-- & we're way over the people in our lives not walking their talk. Whether or not we say anything-- we notice.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result? Demagoguery and corruption.

Trump’s new executive order is a dangerous attempt to restrict who gets a voice in our democracy, making it harder for millions to cast a ballot and be heard. Instead of voters choosing their leaders, it paves the way for MAGA extremists to decide who gets to participate in the first place.

Racism is not a simple matter of disliking a group of people. It's about using the law and informal systems of control to maintain a racial hierarchy that casts some below others. It's a rejection of racial equality.

The Trump regime will round you up off the street and arrest you because you spoke your mind. And federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars who refuse to identify themselves will be the ones to do it. It's fascism. Call it what it is.

This throwback clip of Kamala Harris admitting she couldn't join her family's group chat due to security concerns is going viral — yet somehow Pete Hegseth can casually text attack plans to a journalist?

The Constitution is clear: the President can't arrest people he disagrees with. By detaining Mahmoud Khalil — a legal permanent resident whose American wife is 8-months pregnant — Donald Trump seeks to undermine basic freedoms. We must oppose this move toward authoritarianism.

Can’t emphasize this enough: if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the debased assault on our country, the antidote is connecting with other people in the flesh who are feeling the same way. There are millions of us.

His track record speaks for itself. While we continue to resist, we should take comfort in that he is deeply incompetent, not very bright & his policies are hurting even his most devoted supporters. Let's not get in the way of his inevitable self-destruction.

Virginians: please call Tim Kaine ASAP. He says this morning he's willing to give up his only leverage by voting for cloture if he also gets a vote on a clean funding bill that Republicans will obviously kill. He thinks you're stupid. Tell him you're watching: NO ON CLOTURE, KAINE! (202) 224-4024.

💯 This is what more progressives need to understand. They KNOW what they’re doing. This is what they WANT. That’s why there will be no tolerance for their “we didn’t know” BS when we overcome this.
