10,000 King Soopers workers are currently on strike for better pay and working conditions. Instead of negotiating in good faith, parent company Kroger has been using scabs and prioritized $7.5B in stock buybacks. Don't tell me they can't afford to pay a living wage.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

Are we on the edge of weather forecasting being privatized? Ignoring problems doesn't make them go away. When you ignore things they get worse.

The #1 reported reason people avoid doctor’s appointments is because they’re afraid of finding out they have a serious illness. If you have that fear, that’s normal and you’re not alone. Also remember, there is basically no serious illness that isn’t less serious if you catch it sooner.

I will never forget when I asked Al Franken after the 2016 election if American democracy would survive. He said he thought it was a jump ball.

Without the CFPB, giant financial institutions — like banks, mortgage lenders, credit card companies, and debt collection companies — will have an easier time picking your pocket. It’s clear who Trump and Musk serve — and it’s not you.

Apparently asking Facebook friends what Trump has done to help the average person constitutes "spreading negativity" to the non-voter crowd. I might have said fuck you a bunch, but 🤷

Interestingly, in Loper Bright vs Raimondo, the conservative majority on SCOTUS ruled just last year that the judiciary can in fact overrule regulatory decisions made by the executive branch especially when those decisions are not specified by Congress.

Do they really think military action is going to go well? Our track record of fighting against people own their own territory is pretty abysmal at this point. #nonewwars

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

I wondered how long the fetishization of "the other" has been going on... Turns out it's been a thing as long as colonialism if not longer. I feel like if you're sexually involved with a person you shouldn't attack that person's rights based on how they are different from you. #empathy

Okay, in this election you have the lady who wants to make the world incrementally better or the literal antichrist that will destroy everything you’ve ever known. “I WANT WORLD PEACE OR IM NOT VOTING!” That’s isn’t one of the options. “IM NOT VOTING!” 92 days later: “HOW DO WE STOP THIS?!!”

PROP - PR Over Policy. Don't confuse them. He is flooding the zone. He knows that media will cover everything he does. Getting people upset. Which helps give him more coverage of the upset people. All just talking about him. Dems need to be strategic.

Halting spending approved by Congress. Firing independent inspectors general from federal agencies. Replacing civil servants with loyalists. All plans pulled from Project 2025. Remember when Trump denied knowing about the playbook and the media gave him a pass?

Trump's Day One executive orders were a huge gift to to the Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Oil, and private prison companies who bankrolled his campaign. The big losers? Ordinary Americans desperate for lower costs.

Republicans on the NC Supreme Court just blocked certification of a Democratic justice's election win. Her GOP opponent is trying to throw out 60,000 ballots cast in November, citing debunked far-right legal theories. This assault on democracy should be a national scandal.

Poverty is a policy choice. Mass incarceration is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. Insulin rationing is a policy choice. Climate disintegration is a policy choice. Billionaire tax loopholes are a policy choice. Make no mistake: We have the power to change things.
