Under the House GOP’s budget plan, the lowest-income taxpayers would see a LOSS of $1,125. The richest 0.1 percent of taxpayers, on the other hand, would see a more than $180,000 GAIN. This is trickle down economics on steroids.

Good trouble is coming

On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear a case that determines the future of Louisiana's congressional map and the Voting Rights Act.

"...they are not really mad at the regime for messing around with Social Security or Medicare or Medicaid or whatever. They are mad about being treated the same as their enemies. In their world, Republicans are deserving."

Omg 😂

In the, apparently increasingly likely, event that someone doesn't receive their Social Security benefit I would recommend that your first stop not be trying to call SSA directly. Report it to your local Congressperson or Senator's office, using their website constituent services form if possible 1/

My white Christian uncle on his social media blaming the drop in his 401(k) portfolio on ‘American terrorists’ who vandalize electric cars instead of on a global boycott against everything trumpism is why America is where it is

Trump fired nearly the entire civil rights branch of the Department of Homeland Security on Friday, gutting the government office responsible for conducting oversight of President Trump’s immigration crackdown.

Your reminder that #TeslaTakedown is a grassroots, nonviolent and peaceful protest. We do not condone violence or vandalism. And we recognize that all Tesla owners are not on the wrong side. Our tent is a big one. Join a protest now at Teslatakedown.com or organize your own!

It’s been a devastating 24 hours with 3 NIH grants terminated…all focused on the health and wellbeing of trans or intersex youth. If folks have any ideas of foundations that may be interested in supporting the completion of these projects so years of work aren’t wasted, please let me know. 🙏

"Project 2025" is too sanitized a name for Republican attacks on our country. It's really "Project Impoverish, Sicken and Kill Americans 2025" That's what they'll do if they succeed in destroying the ACA. Without affordable health care, WE WILL DIE. After suffering. Stop them. #ACASavesLives

I don't know, I think this design is kind of a public service for cis dudes. 🤣 #graphicdesignismypassion

We’ve been boycotting Nestle for probably nearly 20 years now. Disgusting company with a long list of crimes against humanity. Boycott them anyway.

This is how you stand up. Great work Rachel!!! 👏👏👏💪💙

I guess all of our Keep Tahoe Blue bumper stickers didn't really do a hell of a lot. 😭 calmatters.org/environment/...

you know, as a jew in academe, I'm not feeling real protected by all these nazis trying to take over american higher education in the name of fighting antisemitism.

Everything is awful, but I have to admit that as a black person? It is really nice not being gaslit about racism anymore. Dealing with the racism AND the gaslighting about the racism was too much.

Internal documents and former company executives reveal how Cigna doctors reject patients’ claims without opening their files. “We literally click and submit,” one former company doctor said. (Published March 2023 with @capitolforum.bsky.social)

There may come a point soon where litigators will stop pussyfooting around and start using the P word* in court against the government and start seeking targeted Rule 11 sanctions against individual lawyers. The administration’s attacks on the legal profession should be answered in kind. *Perjury

A great mea culpa 🤣👏👏👏
