🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Senate Democrats have forced EVERY WORD in Trump's 900 page Big Beautiful Bill to be read on the floor before the vote. The move will delay the vote to cut Medicaid and SNAP, raise energy costs, and give tax breaks to the ultra-rich. This is historic.

I genuinely cannot believe how many Democrats are spending their energy on destroying Mamdani when the GOP is trying to turn ICE into a full on secret police by drastically raising their budget

Calling for a citizen to be deported over political rhetoric or religion crosses a line. It’s un-American. We don’t punish speech with exile.

The lesson of Fox News, podcast bros and right wing influencers is that people would rather be enraged than informed. The internet is wasted on so many.

1/ If Justice Barrett thinks we need to go back to what the Founding Fathers intended, I’ve got news for her. Their biggest concern was avoiding tyranny. So they created 3 branches of gov’t & divvied up the power the people (that’s us) were allowing the gov’t to use to create order for all of us.

Skepticism implies one’s mind isn’t made up and closed, and also that there is a reasonable debate. Antivaxxers are closed-minded people who deny objective reality!

SCOTUS has fully restored the Affordable Care Act’s preventive care mandate requiring private insurers to cover preventive services as well as dental & vision screening for children at no cost. Preventative care saves lives and this decision keeps that care within reach for all.

Hey, I know the people who need to hear this are probably not on this site, but here’s a free tip: Stop resigning. Make the fascists fire you. Make them own their actions, then fight it with whatever legal remedies you can find. We can’t win if people don’t fight.

Robert Malone said, “250 deaths, let’s acknowledge, is a relatively modest number” Kids don’t usually die. Last year was the highest number of pediatric flu deaths since 2009. It was also the lowest pediatric flu vaccine uptake since 2009. Coincidence? No amount of preventable death is acceptable.

Why is the reaction to Mamdani so heated? For some centrists and those on the right, his policies stink of class betrayal “The idea that someone rich or privileged would use their social capital to make others’ lives better can cause an intense reaction,” prof Michael W. Kraus said My story today:

This is literally exhibit A for why queer joy is so profoundly subversive. Anger is important too. But joy -- "smiling and talking and crying and laughing" -- that's what the fascists want to stamp out. That's the real challenge to their reign.

I once saw US conservatives described as "Americans who do not want to help people who are Black and Hispanic, even if those policies would also help White people too, and everyone suffers as a result". It explains some of the hostile reactions to Zohran Mamdani's idea for city-run grocery stores.

Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets? I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

One thing I really think needs to be hammered into “libertarians” & other right wing freaks is the cost of helping other people is almost always less than the cost of not helping them. Because we live in a society & we are all connected & you are SO MUCH CLOSER to being sick and poor than you think!

A child dies of malnutrition every 15 seconds, as close to 200 THOUSAND boxes of special food specifically for starving children sit idle in Rhode Island due to Trump’s funding and aid cuts. They are spending significantly MORE taxpayer money to do this than to just distribute the food.

And then this shit just came out. When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car. When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.

Always loved the people who are like, "But my ancestors came here the legal way!" and by that they mean they arrived via ratship to an island, a man asked them their name, they were like, "Uh, Jeff... Smith?" another guy said "sure?" and then they became permanent residents of the United States.
