16 million people would lose their health insurance under the budget bill, insurance prices would go up for everyone & 338 rural hospitals could close - all so billionaires can get a tax break. Tell the Senate: No cuts that hurt working families! 📲231-400-0602

3 big ugly things that the labor movement wants you to know about the Senate budget reconciliation bill: 1. Cutting Medicaid & the ACA will push health care costs up for all of us with insurance through work. We ran the numbers - it'll be up to $485/year more per person. bsky.app/profile/aflc...

Stephen A. Smith is emblematic of sports talk politics. He's a reactionary blowhard with lazy, garbage opinions. And unfortunately, millions of moronic GenX dudes get their politics solely from sports talk radio.

This isn't all of the story, but a surprisingly big part of the "fear" of Mamdani isn't actually that he'll institute full communism, it's that people's friends-and-influence groups will be demoted from their positions of authority

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo. It’s cowardice.

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

Congratulations to everyone who platformed Rufo and treated him as a serious thinker who had legitimate concerns about universities rather than presenting him as straight-up racist and fascist. This isn't some evolution on his part, he's always been like this — publicly.

I’m not alone in this revelation or anything but it would be great if Democrats actually noticed Republicans aren’t getting agitated and defensive about taco trucks or raising the debt. They’re getting agitated and defensive when you point out their budget bill will kill people.

As governor Cuomo weakened his own party to avoid having anything progressive come across his desk, killed old people during Covid and resigned in disgrace for being a sex pest. But “bacon, cheese and egg” should legit end his political career.

Johnathan Joss died a hero. He was murdered for being gay, he went out protecting his trans husband from being executed. They burned down their home and killed their pets and then they murdered Joss while trying to murder his husband. The New York times can barely muster "fatally shot." I hate this.

Yup, and Dems need to start saying this. It's a great time to be a criminal, there's no more fed law enforcement, they're all sipping coffee cosplaying in military gear while waiting for law-abiding migrants on their way out of immigration hearings.
