Atypical old white woman, appalled blue voter, parent of trans daughter. Reeling from discovering the levels of ignorance and ugliness that led folks to vote for HIM. No DMs, please.

If you watch only one video today, let it be this one. Watch NYU Stern School of Business Professor Scott Galloway’s outstanding commentary on what prosperity and wealth should mean in America. His words could not be more on point and timely. Please pass it on.

This is excellent!

For Trans People on Medicaid, Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill” Is Anything But https://twp.ai/4in74R

There's nothing holy about writing discrimination into the law.

Donald Trump is a POS. Pass it on. #pospotus

I'm a retired boomer. I cannot believe the state of our country. I cannot believe people are reduced to living in their cars, on the street, homeless. NOTHING is normal anymore. There is something fundamentally wrong, VERY wrong, with our country. I am so ashamed of what our country has become.

The very definition of evil is incarcerating for life in one of the worst hellholes on Earth men who did everything right. But it’s beyond evil—beyond demonic—to then not try to do anything to save the men you consigned to Hell, *and* to in fact libel and slander them daily when they cannot reply.

More of this truth telling & more public circulation of the truth telling, please.

Right now U.S. Republicans in Congress are jammed up a) the protests are working to make the most vulnerable nervous (keep calling and protesting) b) they DO NOT want their constituents to realize they are set to cut $880 B from Medicaid and MORE c) they are at odds with each other Push Hard Now

Let's talk about these two department store owners: brother and sister Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld. From Newark, New Jersey. They are random people, basically. But in the late 1920s, with fascism taking over Europe, they made a choice that profoundly changed the world: 🧵

🧵The graphics in this thread could save a life. ICE, HSI, & CBP are detaining people without cause aka kidnapping, refusing to ID themselves, and violating constitutional rights. We must protect our people. Share these graphics. Help our communities know their rights—and use them. #OnYourSide

We reviewed the bill. We now know the details on how they plan to cut your healthcare to pay for tax cuts for the uber-wealthy. 7 ways they are cutting healthcare 🧵👇🏼

I’m very sorry this happened to this woman. It’s inexcusable. But I absolutely had this in my bingo card.

Great Replacement Theory in action… On day one, Donald Trump suspended the refugee settlement admissions program. But now he’s giving white Afrikaners U.S. citizenship because they “could be assimilated easily into our country”? This isn’t a dog whistle—it’s a freaking bullhorn!

One of the much bigger reasons that US is so fuck*d today is because so many people keep looking for shades of gray when masked goons are kidnapping people on the street based on authoritarian nationalist myths of purity through cleansing violence and sending them to offshore slave camps.

Remarkable to me that standing up for trans people hasn't become the cool thing for celebrities to do because standing up for trans people is the cool thing to do!

It seems like this is the point that needs to be driven home.

I support World Central Kitchen, and just received this in an email. I have no platform but can’t remain silent. I’m neither pro-Israel nor pro-Palestine. But I am pro-Human. This is appalling and has to stop. Allow food into Palestine now.

This…

Beautifully done

Who pays for the felon/GOP’s proposed tax cut for billionaires & wealthiest Americans? 🤑 Answer: Hardworking middle class Americans pay for the billionaire/wealthy tax cuts! Felon/GOP increase taxes on everyone else & gut Social Security/Medicare etc. to pay for the billionaire/wealthy tax cuts! 🤬

THIS! A THOUSAND TIMES THIS!

A political prisoner in other words.

This is Gaza, today. Starving kids, holding empty pots, reaching not for toys or schoolbooks, but for a hot meal. Aid groups are warning of mass starvation as Israel’s blockade stretches into a third month. Community kitchens are days away from collapse. If you feel something seeing this, speak out

I second this 👇🏻🖕🏻 #SheShed

Trumpty-Dumpty is defunding PBS. What he calls "bias" some of us call "facts Trumpty-Dumpty doesn't like."

Here is a reminder - the cuts to SNAP and Medicaid the House voted to support are not a done deal yet. This thread is an excellent tutorial on how we can still stop this.

The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich. THIS IS VERY REAL and can be enacted even if all Ds vote no. Thread on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT.

Hitler had Hitler Youth to indoctrinate children. America will have Trump Youth to indoctrinate our own. Glory to our noble leader!

5 ALARM FIRE 🔥 A message from senator Chris murphy Senator Chris Murphy asks us to post this statement to our public walls. ****** Report from the Senate Floor: “Last night in the Senate, something really important happened. /1

What happened to this American family has got to be illegal on so many levels. 20 armed men raided their new home, terrorized them and stole all of their money and electronic devices. Since no govt agency will take responsibility they dont know who has their belongs. kfor.com/news/local/w...

Dear god let this man cook.

if there's no money to forgive student loans we don't need to be giving money money to the 1% for their "farms." it wasn't a bailout it was a bribe. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE AS IT WAS INTENDED. Share the F out of this.

Some quality Americans, on a YouTube live from the Capitol steps taking about whatever comes up: doing the right thing here! This is how you build consensus and a movement. Of course it's @booker.senate.gov
