NEW: Two-thirds of NYC voters support creating municipal grocery stores to bring down prices. "The concept is imminently feasible. In fact, publicly owned grocery stores are quite common and already exist at scale—in the US military."

Tens of Thousands of NYers took the streets today to say “hands off” our federal services! This Tuesday, join NYC-DSA at the "Kill the Cuts" National Day of Action and stand with workers across the country demanding NO to cuts on our services ➡️ actionnetwork.org/events/kill-...

Courage is contagious. But how do we catch it? For months, @amifieldsmeyer.bsky.social and I have been asking dissidents and activists from around the world how we can topple authoritarianism. We assembled their lessons into a field guide to courage. www.newyorker.com/news/the-wee...

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

" He is alive and secure " 🤔 Proof of life please and thank you !!!

Sanders: Instead of spending $1 trillion a year on the military, let’s build 5 million units of low income and affordable housing..

Nothing more to say—this is it. I’m only putting a quote here because I can’t stand to see the gruesome face of the repulsive serial killer so accurately described here.

Jayapal: How the hell are you gonna buy a house when the rent is already too damn high and Donald Trump is hiking up the prices of lumber and drywall..

Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night. So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

Trump to deport Afghanis who helped the US during the war. This is wrong on so many levels. Since the Taliban has taken over, it has targeted and killed citizens who helped the United States during the war www.npr.org/2025/04/11/g...?

Trump's dismantling of evaluation offices undermines governance. By eliminating the HHS office setting federal poverty guidelines, he jeopardizes 80M Americans dependent on Medicaid and food assistance. This strategy erodes accountability and promotes misinformation.

On April 26, rural civic leaders, rural organizers, and rural Democrats will gather to develop strategies for opposing Trump and Musk's take-over and outline steps we all can take at the local level to rebuild the Democratic Party from the bottom up. Join us! us02web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

We’re suing Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the NIH. The government doesn’t get to block researchers from making important medical discoveries and derail the next generation of American scientists just to further its political agenda.

The North American Building Trade Unions are calling for the return of their member, Kilmer Abrego Garcia, who is the victim of human trafficking by our government.

Remember when headlines used to not have to sound absolutely batshit in order to be reflective of reality?

If you’re not guaranteeing heath care to all people are you actually a wealthy country or are you a tax shelter for wealth hoarders?

Disappearing people without any due process is fascism — full stop. I’m sick to my stomach and we all should be.

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

Your senators and representative are back home for another congressional recess. We’re organizing hundreds of rallies to turn up the heat on Republicans who are trying to gut Medicaid and SNAP in order to fund tax cuts for billionaires. Join us: indivisible.org/muskorus

Amy is a top-notch investigative journalist and I fully vouch for her. She will do due diligence and hold your story with care.

Gomez: They got a simple plan defund, defraud, and lie. They're gonna defund Social Security, Medicaid, education, anything that helps the man and woman who's trying to get by to put food on the table or to pay rent. And then they're going to lie about it.

Disability benefits aren’t “extra” money. They’re the bare minimum to survive in a world that disables us—through poverty, inaccessibility, and neglect. Cutting them isn’t reform. It’s state-sanctioned harm. Please support us. #DisabilityBenefits #WelfareNotWorkfare

I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.

Hey, Congress, please stop the people with no authority to do this from doing this.

Please share this ONLINE PETITION especially if you can't go Protest today! Change.org/WeThePeople2025

Did you think, when we were going door to door collecting pennies in our little orange unicef box at Halloween, that someday the ideas they espouse— keeping children and civilians safe and unharmed in war zones, for example— would be declared a conflict of interest to America by elected politicians?

Among the US government's apparent "core interests" right now is genocide. I oppose that and will do all I can to undermine it. We all should. To hell with any judge who abdicates their most basic duty by ruling that that constitutes grounds for criminalization or deportation.

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." - President Lyndon B. Johnson

BREAKING: Last night, the Harvard faculty chapter of the AAUP and the national AAUP filed a lawsuit & TRO to block the Trump administration from illegally demanding that we keep quiet and change how we teach and research at the point of a financial gun. actionnetwork.org/user_files/u...

Not sure where I saw this but I can’t stop hearing it echo every time I read a headline: It was the fuck aroundiest of times It was the findoutiest of times

Hours ago, @politico.com revealed that DOGE is working with DHS on automating mass deportation efforts — likely explaining why many US citizens, green card holders, and even a Canadian (in Canada) got threatening emails last night terminating “your parole” and telling them to leave the US in 7 days.

Undocumented migrants pay $100 billion in income taxes alone, yet can't qualify to get social security or medicare. Billionaires are the ones draining your economy, not immigrants. Wake up!

You know who we’re talking about here.

The Justice System in America has failed The algorithm “TIGER” fully rejects the concept of rehabilitation. It’s Minority Report (Philip K Dick book/film), only they’ve replaced humans with deeply flawed math equations created by the most arrogant people on earth. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Min...

“The damage has been done,” said George Saravelos, the head of foreign exchange research at Deutsche Bank. “The market is reassessing the structural attractiveness of the dollar as the world’s global reserve currency and is undergoing a process of rapid de-dollarisation.”

See, there is HOPE…👇

HHS Secretary RFK Jr. is a danger to the public’s health and should resign or be fired, says APHA. In just a few short weeks, his actions on vacccines, fluoride and other public health science have shown how wrong he is for the job. Read & share our statement: apha.org/news-and-med...
