Each day, I do 5 calls (5calls.org) +1

To improve my mental health, I now only use social media long enough each day to find a smile and to find the topic of my +1 call.

What I've learned from Black people:

1) vote in every local and interim election, not just federal
2) from the available choices, always vote for harm reduction for minorities because that's in ALL our best interests
3)"protest votes" and vote abstention promote harm

Is the shutdown over? Not yet.
Tonight’s vote was only step 1 of 5.
There’s still another 60-vote hurdle, amendments, AND then the House.
Pressure matters right now—especially on Kaine, Rosen, Hassan, Shaheen.
Stay loud.

Flood the lines!
🚨 The shutdown isn’t over. The Senate vote was a procedural step, not a deal. Nothing is reopening. Nothing is fixed. Eight Democrats helped move an old GOP bill while families go unpaid and SNAP stays frozen.

Flood the lines. Call your Senators.

Perfect choice of image.
Republicans pinky swear. Eight Democrats fall for it.

They traded some short-term holiday cheer for Project 2025's anti-science, anti-data, anti-woman, and anti-medicine agenda to infiltrate healthcare if they uphold their promise in December.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

Not nearly enough of a difference
-Chuck Schumer refuses to endorse the Democrat Mamdani.
-Mamdani and the Democrats have a huge Election Day Tuesday.
-Today, Schumer reacts to this by readying a surrender to the repulsive Republicans.

So tell me: What's the difference between Chuck Schumer and a repulsive Republican?

“... the conditions that allowed for Alabama to deteriorate into the humanitarian crisis it is today exist in every state across the country – secrecy, limited accountability”, said Kaufman. “A lot of states are already experiencing what Alabama is, and the only difference is we just can’t see it.”
And now, if you read the devastating piece about what Venezuelan deportees endured at the El Salvador torture prison, read what incarcerated U.S. citizens endure in Alabama prisons.

State prisons in the U.S. that are massive systems of human rights violations.

Omfg STOP ACTING SURPRISED

Instead, start showing the obvious pattern! Talk about how all the OTHER cruelties they're inflicting make THIS cruelty not surprising at all and talk about what's next!

Stop acting brand new whenever they sidestep safeguards and enact a fresh horror from project 2025!
Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."

Healthcare is a basic human right.

Food is basic human right.

Education, housing, clean air & water are human rights.

Using healthcare and food as leverage should be grounds for removal from office.

SNAP, Medicaid and the ACA are worth fighting for.

People will die without them.

Prices are tariffying. FTFY
👻 Trump’s policies are haunting our economy.

Thanks to trump’s tariff war, Halloween trick-or-treaters may be coming home with much lighter or even empty bags.

They’re talking about trans people just like the Nazi party did about Jews (and trans people for that matter). They also talk about democrats the same way the Nazis talked about alleged communists.

At a certain point mainstream democrats need to realize that compromise is no longer possible

Black women are telling you not to register to attend a protest because we have parents and family and friends and church folks who survived the Civil Rights movement and in some cases didn’t

And also because we read and in some cases do historical work

But hey if you wanna listen to random dude

In this environment where the white supremacy boys are making lists to get you fired or harassed, DO NOT sign up lists to attend protests!

Just spoke with my CDC sources.

They said RFK Jr. has ordered officials to hide tuberculosis cases, even as three active TB cases were just reported in Maine. He’s also suppressing bird flu reports.

Pandemics don’t start with viruses they start with secrecy.

RFK Jr. must resign now!

Everyone wants to wake up but the work is isolating. Each question you answer makes you ask 8 more. Each revelation makes cruelty harder. But it makes you aware of how easy cruelty is. Awakening is not fun for a long time. And you meet a lot of people who mean it in words only.

Every once in a while I tell people from other countries about how the health insurance system works in the US and they are aghast. Yesterday a guy straight up didn’t believe me when I said people can die because of not being able to afford medicine. He was sure I meant in the distant past.
