That Democrats, even now, insist on focusing on and blaming the progressive wing of their party for Trump is exactly how we entered the Nadir a century ago. White Americans and those who wanted to politically ascend abandoned Black people and oppressed groups to reunite politically with each other.

If a Muslim in the US publicly called for a missile strike on a famous celebrity activist onboard a civilian ship or plane, the FBI would be investigating them for terrorism. But a rich white guy gets to incite violence without any consequences 🤷🏽‍♂️👇🏽

"Hitler has won. He’s changed us Jews from being compassionate and caring, and do unto others as you’d have them do unto you, into this vicious, genocidal, nationalist nation pursuing and killing women and children. I’m 83 and I have never been so ashamed of Israel as I am at this moment."

This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking. No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was deliberately murdered for being gay right after his dog was decapitated. Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian." THIS is why Pride is important.

FYI to media outlets, you're misleading your readers if you repeat this at face value. There's no lawful way for him to redirect these grants elsewhere. It's a lie to distract from how the GOP budget guts educational funding, including Pell Grants at trade schools.

People should be SHAMED for staying in office so long they die there, leading to legislative and electoral losses. YOUR ego is NOT more important than the CAUSE. Millions of people are going to die on the altar of career goals. And yet I will be viciously attacked for stating this obvious truth.

This is absolutely terrible news. With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately. h/t @merz.bsky.social

You deserve to make more money. You deserve lower costs. You deserve healthcare. We must not stop fighting for better just because those in power are actively trying to make things worse for working class people. In fact, it’s our time to dream even bigger & fight even harder.

This is how for-profit healthcare works: You pay a private company to help cover your healthcare expenses. Your doctor has to ask this company before treating you. The private company then decides if they will cover it. If they say “no,” they make more money. It’s immoral.
