Remember: The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.

The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.

In what alternate universe is it acceptable to invite a former Al-Qaeda commander to the White House the day before we honor our Veterans?

Are we supposed to forget that 30 U.S. military personnel died at the hands of Al-Qaeda?

Speaker Johnson: Federal employees aren’t being paid. Nutrition cuts may cause children to go hungry. Millions are seeing their health premiums soar.

End the 6 week paid vacation you’ve taken. Join your Democratic colleagues and negotiate an end to this shutdown.

This is an unprecedented historical moment that demands an unprecedented public response.

I’m incredibly thankful for the solidarity shown by elected officials, public figures, constituents, and others over the past few days.

This whole thread.

“Oh no, someone might eat food!”

Good. That’s good.

“They might buy something they like.”

Cool.

“They might get a treat!”

Also cool.
There's something deeply disturbing about EBT/SNAP hate to me. Like just truly bone blanching shit.

We are now learning how much oppression and abuse Americans will tolerate. The day will come when enough Americans will decide enough is enough and this lawless regime must be stopped. But right now too many are willing to let the lawless abuse continue.

One time a tall Black teen was trick or treating in my (very white) neighborhood in Cary and I gave him candy and he thanked me profusely, telling me that a lot of my neighbors had been shitty to him. He was trick or treating on behalf of his 6 year old sister in the hospital.

Just be nice, damn.

Why Republicans’ attempts to kill Obamacare keep backfiring
The White House and some Republicans are growing nervous that Democrats’ demand to boost Obamacare as part of a government funding bill has salience with voters.

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.
The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

I’m horrified to hear that two people were kidnapped by ICE in Evanston this morning.

There’s a protest at Home Depot shortly. We’ll be delivering water and supplies to protesters — I hope you’ll join us in standing with our community.

They want you to think it’s about undocumented people because it’s actually about you.
