*Biden tries to forgive student loans* SCOTUS: Whoa there, that is, uh, a major question. Which means you can't do it. *Trump revokes part of the constitution* SCOTUS: Obviously, we got to give the President the benefit of the doubt on this one.

People cannot afford their rent. It’s actually that simple.

When we ask who defines ā€œwarā€ and who has the right to launch ā€œwar,ā€ it forces us to question: who has a right to use violence and whose violence is celebrated as ā€œhonourableā€ and as ā€œresistanceā€? Which lives and which deaths matter? From Feb. 2022 www.feministgiant.com/p/essay-the-...

Shout out to Chase Strangio who did his level best and should have fucking won. What a beast of an attorney and an amazing advocate. This is heartbreaking. #Skrmetti

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

Take a listen and seriously consider it. While this is not an uncommon practice, I am glad people are beginning to speak up about it.

We feed you. They hunt us.

No matter what happens… i hope they both have an awful time

Trying to reconcile how all positive change had to be incremental, studied in perpetuity & ultimately stalled with ā€˜how are we gonna pay for that?’ but dismantling everything was done quickly, ham-fistedly & with total disregard for cost of money and lives & no institutional guardrails mattered.

Medicaid isn’t a cash benefit. It can’t be sold or traded. There is no way for an individual to ā€œdefraudā€ Medicaid. Address the doctors and healthcare systems, not the individuals on the program.

Kind of thought refusing to release innocent people while simultaneously continuing to pardon guilty people might cause a bigger stir in the press.

being catfished by food is a different type of pain.

The problem is not that we have too many people on Medicaid. the problem is we don't have enough people on Medicaid.

Why does ā€œlearning to live with covidā€ mean accepting repeat infections as inevitable? Why does it mean throwing the vulnerable to the wayside, unsafe healthcare & mass disability? That’s not ā€œliving with itā€. That’s giving up We need to adapt. Clean air, paid time off, masks in healthcare.

SCOOP: Since SSA installed new anti-fraud checks on claims made over the phone, only 2 claims out of over 110,000 were found to likely be fraudulent, according to internal documents I obtained. The policy has slowed down payments, though. Retirement claim processing is down 25%

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

Members of Congress shouldn’t be allowed to make more than twice the median income of their constituents. Their health insurance should be Medicaid.

And upper/middle class women in the US who ā€œdidn’t workā€ propped up capitalism thru uncompensated labor. Even today, it’s stunning how many vital functions in the US like airport travelers aid & hospital reception/patient hospitality, & the Arts sectors are built on ā€œvolunteerā€ labor.
