The data is undeniable: •15 of top 16 states with the highest rates of infant mortality are red states that deny/ban repro access. •12 of top 13 states with the lowest rates of infant mortality are blue states that protect repro access.

How is the outrage not greater? How are so many of us not living anything close to our best lives and just going along with it. There are more of us than the elite. It’s time to rise up. Call your legislators. Put them on notice. We deserve so much better. Don’t Bomb Medicaid #MomSky

Pretty amazing that just two weeks ago a Trump supporter, Vance Boelter, a white man, assassinated a State representative and her husband and had a hit list of 70 others but has magically disappeared from the news. Wonder what would have happened if he had Black or Brown?!Mainstream media is a joke!

Obscene. And that fact that America (& other malignant capitalists) revere him as a hero because he rode the dotcom boom to ridiculous wealth (remember, the best way to get blasphemy-level obscene wealth is to start with just plain ridiculous wealth)… This is a crisis of values.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.

Justice Sotomayor said it best: the conservative majority is “rewarding lawlessness.” Migrants are being deported—without notice or due process—to countries they’ve never even set foot in. This is what happens when the Court starts playing politics.

It's becoming increasingly clear is that the right wing of this Supreme Court is extreme even among federal courts. The district courts and appellate courts keep appropriately halting this shit, expressing appropriate outrage, and trying to hold the line. Then SCOTUS blows it all up.

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers. Easy money, no risk. Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime. @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.

News organizations have already announced there's a ceasefire because Trump posted about it on social media. But there's been no actual confirmation. No official announcement from Israel or Iran. But because Trump posted it, that's somehow enough, despite his history of lying.

Be warned: Trump will likely use his war with Iran as a pretext to further suppress dissent at home. We must resist his efforts to stifle freedom of speech, make warrantless searches and arrests of Americans, and put more military onto our streets.

We’re not sure who these armed men are! They show up without uniforms, completely masked, refuse to give ID. They drive regular cars and in cases out of state license plates. The vests that they have on look like they’re from Amazon! Are they bounty hunters?! Are they vigilanties?!
