Trump is gutting FEMA, so when the next hurricane drowns your town or wildfire burns your home, don’t expect help. He’s not downsizing government; he’s leaving Americans to die in chaos. This isn’t leadership. It’s abandonment.

Because they know that if their kids don't know there are other options, they're more likely to continue to try to fit in with the horror that is being raised far right.

They are keeping this woman alive to incubate a baby they will cease to care about once it’s born. A child who they won’t provide with healthcare, refuse to keep safe from gun violence, and whose schools they will defund.

Please don't believe mainstream media - the MAGA regime is NOT defending mifepristone. They are a) avoiding looking like they are attacking abortion (even though they are) and b) trying to make it so states can't sue the FDA so blue states can't fight abortion bans. www.instagram.com/p/DJUx5n-p_DT/

1/3 For those in MA, three bills—H.358, S.350, and H.737—are scheduled for a public hearing before the Joint Committee on Education. These bills would restrict the participation of transgender student athletes in school sports, undermining their rights, safety, and dignity.

Please spread the word that conservatives are using bad data to advance their plans to ban abortion medication by claiming it's dangerous. It needs to be crystal clear that they are acting in bad faith (as usual).

Someone with a bigger platform than mine needs to spread the word. The so-called “largest-ever” study on abortion medication is basically making up numbers that claim high rates of adverse effects from abortion medication. This really is fake news! open.substack.com/pub/jessica/...

I often wonder why some people react so negatively to helping people. Were you not helped, so it's unfair? Are you buying into the lie that poverty is somehow the fault of the people in poverty? Not due to systemic problems like horrifically high costs for everything and gutting the safety net?

Some of you don’t seem to understand we are demanding welfare to be raised to the poverty line. This still means people would basically be considered in poverty. No one is being offered free mansions in Brighton. What are you missing out on if other people are helped?

Did you know that the federal minimum wage has not been raised since 2009? It's still sitting at $7.25 because of GOP obstruction. Meanwhile the cost of living has only increased and CEO pay has skyrocketed. Workers nowadays need $25 an hour for a living wage. #RaiseTheWage #25toSurvive

Politics is more clear when you remember that the "waste" in "government waste" is the profit that some rich asshole isn't making off labor in the public sector whose only purpose is the common good.

We also need to constantly address the ways that criminalization is used to render people disposable. Every response is "well I thought they would only do X to the criminals."

#MedicaidCutsKill Medicaid pays for 60% of long-term care in this country. Over 40% of births. Nearly 40% of child healthcare. Cutting Medicaid for billionaire tax breaks is just cruel. Medicaid Cuts Kill!

This is not radical. Neither is wanting healthcare that doesn't bankrupt people. Society originally developed to support the people in it. We need to go back to that.
