Here's a thread of verified civilians trying to survive in Gaza. Their Bsky accounts are constantly deleted, so I’ll post directly to their funds. These are real people, in desperate need of help. We’re their only lifeline due to the aid blockades. Please give if you can and share. 1/17

135 Palestinians killed in Gaza so far today. Massacre after massacre, day after day. The world does nothing.

A reminder that if the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity gains since the 1960s, it would now be nearly $26 an hour.

There are people *with* health insurance who are afraid of going to the doctor because it may cost something unexpected. Our system never worked, and cutting anti-poverty programs like Medicaid will only make it worse. We need universal and free health care.

According to a study by Penn Wharton, Trump's "big, beautiful bill" that pays for tax breaks for the rich by cutting Medicaid leads to a $700 LOSS in income for the working class, a $1,000 LOSS in income for the poor & a $389,000 INCREASE for the top 0.1%. We must defeat it.

Moody’s also downgraded the USA bond rating. Why at we spending money on a military parade? Weekend golf? Gilding the White House? More waste from the biggest fraud who’s committing the most abuse.

JUST NOW — Ben from Ben & Jerry’s interrupts the RFK JR. hearing: “Congress is paying to bomb poor kids in Gaza and paying for it by kicking kids off Medicaid! They need to let food in to starving kids in Gaza!” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DJpRn4B...

if you were wondering whether America is an oligarchy/plutocracy, please remember that this is a country where the people get to see a copy of their constitution and bill of rights - if a billionaire deigns to loan it out for public viewing

There’s always a tweet.

My love of reading is strongly link to this man…

So basically, what we've all learned is what we already knew: they have about as much plan for tackling a "constitutional crisis" as they do climate change. Or say just to pick something at random, a global pandemic.

As law enforcement and courts respond to mental illness like it's a crime, prisons and jails fill up with people who have serious mental health needs - which these systems are not designed to accommodate.

“Palestinians are being starved in Gaza by the Israelis, and according to one study, not a single Sunday show in this country has mentioned it,” says @mehdirhasan.bsky.social.

Dear Bernie, AOC, Ken Martin & DNC - Don’t just attack the proposed Trump Budget… Advance an #economicbillofrights as FDR did in 1944 and propose a #FreedomBudget as A Philip Randolph did in 1965. www.commondreams.org/opinion/econ...

Much more appropriate for that pos...

Republicans in Congress want to make it more expensive for kids from working-class families to go to college and easier for schools to scam student loan borrowers — all to pay for tax handouts for the wealthiest Americans.   That's the GOP agenda: billionaires win, families lose.

this video broke my brain

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.
