It’s really tiring, isn’t it, being scared and upset all the time

If you protested yesterday, you saw how many people in your community shared your values. Give them someone to vote for. Run for office. runforwhat.net

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

If the United States saw what the United States is doing in the United States, the United States would invade the United States to liberate the United States from the tyranny of the United States.

In a world of Stephen Millers, be *anyone* else.

Warning: ICE is planning 30 days of immigration raids across Los Angeles County. If you or someone you know may be impacted, now is the time to set up a support system, identify a safe place, and stay alert.

Healthcare for seniors is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is *not* waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon *is* waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens *is* waste, fraud, and abuse.

"So here's the plan -- we impose massive tariffs on the nations that sell us food." "Hmm." "But it's OK, because we just rely more on states like California that grow a lot of the same things." "Oh, I guess that ..." "And then we go to war with California."

Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses. Immigrants, by contrast, did not.

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

It would take so few #GOP Cong & Senators to say: “No, feeding poor people into a woodchipper to make the wealthiest wealthier is not what America stands for and we’re not exploding the deficit.” They’d be heroes forever but they don’t have the courage expected of 18 year olds in the military.

Very rarely, you find an article that is honest, wise, and beautifully written. Donna Ladd’s take on the oldest and most difficult American challenge is all that. www.mississippifreepress.org/democracy-wh... @donnerkay.bsky.social

Can't help but feel we're living through an increasingly existential war between spectacle and substance with spectacle winning battle after battle after battle.

The best Memorial Day speech is only 271 words and wasn't delivered on Memorial Day, but on November 19, 1863. Read it carefully, it's the most important speech in American military history (and maybe all of American history).

It’s strange to watch Americans memorialize soldiers who died for democracy whilst they giddily embrace fascism.

As a philosophy major who adored symbolic logic courses, this may be my favorite cartoon ever.

“The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.” — Treaty of Tripoli, signed by the United States in 1797.

Great point 👇

You can be into football and gaming and not right-wing politics.

I could never ever ask for money and feel good about it coming from an account where I represent my job, even if anonymous. Im a public servant and I get paid through taxes already. True public servants won't ask for money. Subscribe to the curated starter pack and labeler to follow vetted alts

First right wingers cut healthcare for trans people. Then they cut Medicaid and Medicare so much it'll shut down hospitals that provide care for everyone else.

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

Republicans snuck an amendment into this bill to ban Affordable Care Act insurance plans from covering abortion care. This is part of their play for a national abortion ban, in the middle of the night, and ripping healthcare away from millions.

If the GOP Tax Scheme is so beautiful, then why are they voting on it in the wee hours of the morning? Maybe because it’s irredeemably ugly and cruel.

What if my precondition is my loved one who could definitely die from COVID or COVID complications?

Just listened to the Hur interview tape and I’m utterly appalled at all the incoherent and crazy things Biden said about Revolutionary War airports, injecting bleach, people eating cats and dogs, Hannibal Lecter, and Arnold Palmer’s penis. Simply unbelievable that he ran for president again.

Just curious, what’s the tariff on a $400 million jet from Qatar?

I visited Delaney Hall this morning and I want to tell you about where we stand, why this moment is so dangerous, and why I’m so strongly opposed to private, for-profit prisons and detention centers. 1/

Can’t recommend this book enough. Read it.

There's actually a bunch of families whose kids were injured and even killed by raw milk and if i were an editor I might try to interview them right now.

Sesame Street had him pegged back in 1988.

Most Americans frequently use federal science information. But few are concerned that cuts to federal science spending could affect their access to such information, a new poll finds.

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

All of us…
