Thanks to the hard work of letter carriers and postal workers, the U.S. Postal Service delivers half of the world’s mail. It’s older than America itself! We’re not going to let billionaires dismantle the Postal Service so they can make even more money on our watch.

The Trump administration has pulled this campaign explaining the benefits of getting a flu vaccine. Let's make sure it still gets coverage on social media. 🧪

Omg. This is horrifying. Congresswoman Kelly Morrison just revealed that Medicaid covers HALF of the kids in the United states, more than 40% of the births — and Republicans want it gone. The Republican funding bill impacts ALL OF US.

A policy change by the Trump administration allows immigration agents to enter and arrest people in health facilities. Some clinics are training health workers to support patients in the event of arrests.

“Right now, there is a distinct possibility that we do not have a free and fair election in 2028, and all of our work is to make sure that doesn’t happen,” said Sen. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social.

“I’ll see you and raise you one.”

I'm holding a citizen meeting in West Hartford to talk about what I'm doing and what people can do to fight back against Trump's seizure of government for the billionaire class. 1/ Unfortunately, we've maxed out the space, so here's a 🧵 on what you can do.

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) was established by Benjamin Franklin in 1775 when the Second Continental Congress appointed him as the first Postmaster General.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

📚Resisting Autocracy Lessons📚 TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE FACE OF THE WORLD The symbols of today enable the reality of tomorrow. Notice the swastikas and the other signs of hate. Do not look away, and do not get used to them. Remove them yourself and set an example for others to do so.

In 2023, three states passed laws to prevent utilities from charging customers for lobbying, advertising, and other political influence activities. Customers have already saved hundreds of thousands of dollars. www.canarymedia.com/articles/uti...

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

We do not throw away perfectly good food in this house. We put it in Tupperware & wait for it to go bad & then we throw it away.

I personally will continue to use "Gulf of Mexico" because our president is a wrathful felonious nincompoop with the intellect of paramecium and I do not consent to his cartographic buffoonery

The next DOGE target could be the FDIC, which was already experiencing a staffing shortage before Trump's hiring freeze. Remember: the FDIC was created during the Depression to protect people's deposit accounts. Gutting it could lead to another financial meltdown.

Ooo this is a good one ☺️

For these to have any effect they have to well distributed. This was in CBS news and the actually spelled out the DEI words in the first paragraph. www.cbsnews.com/amp/minnesot...

When you solve for the wrong problem, not only do you not get the solution, you can cause harm. The President wasted water that was being saved for farmers for a PR stunt. This was harmful, ludicrous, and solved nothing.

In 2022, Massachusetts voters implemented a 4% Surax on taxable income over $1,000,000 It's resulted in a positive outcome in many ways. Every state should consider this.

URGENT: The special general elections for Florida’s 1st & 6th Congressional Districts are on APRIL 1, 2025. If we flip these seats, we can STOP Project 2025. No excuses!

ok, so basically I'm trying to make this post go viral.

There is still beauty in this world

Let me emphasize: Elon Musk has not been confirmed by Congress. His “department” was never actually enacted. No one other than Trump has given him any authority. Democrats and any Republicans with a spine need to step in and stop this madness. Call your rep now (202) 224-3121

Sometimes self-government just means elections. And sometimes it means recognizing the deeper dignity and meaning of what it means to be a people. That means speaking up, standing out, and protesting. We can only be free together. snyder.substack.com/p/the-logic-...

If you spend exactly zero seconds thinking about how this would be unfair to you, we should be friends. It’s funny how the ones who complain the loudest never had a barrier in their way to begin with.

@mrjoncryer.bsky.social Hi Jon, Canadian here. This is a message from one of Canada's BEST Infectious Disease Specialists in Toronto.

Over the last nine days, the house has been out of session while the Democracy is sold for parts. Would have been nice had the Democrat come back on their own and sued, yelled, stood up, etc. Anything but stayed home

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.

Ive said this before. Unions have a moment in time to create parallel, Non Profit Trust or Associated Health Plans and offer them to small to medium size businesses. Unions can negotiate far better than SMBs or associations . Imagine if millions got their healthcare from unions ? Thoughts ?

Given all these critical webpages are being taken down, this might be a good time to familiarize yourself with the Wayback Machine on Internet Archive. It can pull up pages that are no longer active: web.archive.org

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942. I know. I was there in those camps.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

I saw this book prominently displayed at our local library. I will read it with my family. Educate yourself and others. #booksky #bannedbooks

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

One way to reduce drug spend is to have the FDA do an analysis of how long medicine retains it's potency. It can do it one drug at a time. No one should throw away medicine they shouldn't have to. Whether pharmacy or patient. www.propublica.org/article/the-...

Still undecided about AI? Remember Ash in Alien? David in Prometheus? It’s the programming. Who’s doing the programming and who benefits?

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

With everything so seemingly terrible these days & no sign of anything remotely hopeful in the near future, I thought you might need this photo of a baby giraffe.
