Medicare for All isn't radical. What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right. Every other major country figured out years ago how to provide health care to all at a much lower cost. Please don't tell me we can't do the same.

A great explanation from a friend of why the decision of Paul Weiss, of all big law firms, is so impactful to so many. #LawSky

“Doomscrolling” continued to annoy as it implied there’s other things that can be looked at as if literally everything isn’t going to shit all the time everywhere and that the simple act of staying vaguely informed doesn’t mean being confronted with horrific events constantly.

Can nobody see the next level misogyny here? Even Robbie George sees it a bit. ACB occasionally demonstrates an independent thought, and it is somehow because she's susceptible to flattery? Randy is offering an opinion without evidence. But justices have long been affected by public thought, too.

Folks, #Trump is lying. He just said his plan calls for “no tax on tips, OT, or Social Security.” But the Tax Bill the House GOP just passed has absolutely none of this. Zero. Nada. Nothing. But it does have trillions in new tax cuts for billionaires. #TrumpSpeech #SOTU

Trump's policies are directly hurting farmers. 40% of food for USAID grown by farmer. 40% of farm laborers are undocumented. Farmers need accurate weather reports.

TRUMP SPEECH FACT-CHECK: The only proposed tax-cuts are for billionaires

submitted 20 days ago • 1 comment

Simplest and most important thing for Democrats to be telling people, reminding people is that Donald Trump is jacking up prices for everyone on purpose. It’s not that he’s a goof or doesn’t know how things work. He lied to the voters and now he’s raising everyone’s prices on purpose.

Everyone in my hometown uses the right name and pronouns with me without issue and congratulated me when I came out, but some still post brain-rotted transphobic memes on Facebook. They know me, so they figure I have legit reasons to do this. They will not, however, extrapolate outward from there.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO
