We spend dollars to avoid wasting pennies in free riderism. This is ideological, not rational. It is central to what's wrong with neoliberal policy.

Something I am thinking about right now is that a 3 million dollar program that allows abused women to take their pets with them to domestic violence shelters is about to be cut because “we don’t have the money” but the government is about to spend 1000000000x more than that to bomb people

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

NYC needs secure bike parking! "Black New York loves to bike, but New York doesn’t love Black people on bikes. We live in neighborhoods like Bedford-Stuyesant, Brownsville and East Flatbush where the apartments are small, stairs are steep, and doors are narrow." Yesterday in @nyc.streetsblog.org:

“Ranked choice” voting is what Australians call “preferential voting” and it’s been a part of our electoral system since 1918. If anyone needs a very basic explainer of how it works, this will do. Also, we have one of the most representative democracies on earth, yay to us! #auspol

DJTs been nodding off in courtrooms, rallies, & funerals. It seems this repeated at the #G7 summit. There are efforts now to limit public exposure & manage visible signs of frailty. His early exit has more to do w/ that than it does the Israel-Iran conflict. PS: PM Carney’s face. 🤣 #cdnpoli

No matter what comes of the game of ping pong between the House and Senate, the reality is clear: the GOP tax cuts to the wealthy will be paid for on the backs of children, seniors, veterans and working families who need SNAP to keep food on the table.

I know there's a lot going on, but the Secretary of Homeland Security declaring that federal troops are in California and Los Angeles to "liberate" the state and city from its duly-elected leaders really is a fourteen-alarm fire.

This man is my hero because he’s a member of the United States Air Force and is standing by his #Oath to the #Constitution! I’m hoping that since he has taken the lead others will follow because this is what a true American Soldier looks like! Remember your Oath to the Constitution

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

As Trump plans mass deployments of ICE in Chicago, a car just sped through a group of protesters. I was at the Federal Plaza protest. It was PEACEFUL. This violence and chaos are what Trump, his masked thugs, and the people who support mass deportations stand for.
