If I ever misgender you, use the wrong pronouns, or use your deadname, please tell me. If I fuck up I need to know about it so I can fix it.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.
We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.
We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style.
Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

centrists will tell you to your face that we all need to abandon identity issues, and focus on kitchen table issues instead and yet when a leftist candidate runs a generational campaign based on kitchen table issues, it's the centrists weaponizing identity politics to smear the leftist.

US/European policy & Treaty of Versailles after WW1 led to WW2.
US policy in Central America in the 1970s contributed to the current immigration process.

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

After the Trump administration slashed the US international aid budget, an outbreak of Ebola in Congo is testing the global health community's emergency responses
Ebola Outbreak in Congo Tests Global Response After US Aid Cuts
Ebola is one of the deadliest diseases on Earth, with a fatality rate as high as 90%. It’s among a handful of illnesses so dangerous that governments consider them threats to national security. The Democratic Republic of Congo declared an outbreak on Sept. 4 after 28 suspected cases and 15 deaths were reported.

Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.”
This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over.
Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.
