Starting now, please call and email your three members of Congress. You can go to congress.gov or senate.gov to find your members & call & email them directly from their government website. All you have to say is no cuts to Social Security. Emailing + calls is EXCEPTIONAL advocacy & takes minutes.🙏💜

For you MAGA who still aren't getting it: Republicans pit you against immigrants to distract you as they take everything from you, then convince you to blame Democrats, who tried to help you.
You've been voting for them for a generation and they've done nothing but make your lives steadily worse.

My boy went over the Rainbow Bridge this week. I am so heartbroken. Losing two dogs in a few months is too much. I'm trying to find comfort in the belief that my boys are together again. They really were the goodest of good boys 🩵

Why should President Biden explain himself.
He pardoned his son who’s been villainised by Trump and his cults for 10 fucking years.
Fuck off with your hypocrisy & for the democrats who are making their opinion known, you can fuck off too.

My elderly husky is rapidly reaching the end of his wonderful life. It is so painful trying to judge whether the good is outweighing the bad/hard each day. I don't want him to suffer but don't want to give up on him either. This is so hard 💔

It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom.
It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president.
It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child.
For the record.

Abortion procedures are needed even when the embryo/fetus has passed if the woman's body hasn't gotten the memo to terminate the pregnancy process or does so incompletely.
Abortion IS healthcare. Abortion procedures save lives.

This is a great read for anyone who still doesn't understand why school voucher programs are problematic. Some places (NC and FL, for example) have moved from income-based eligibility to universal eligibility but, to paraphrase Mr. Cowen, 'Eligibility does not equal accessibility.' #Education
I noted to @propublica.org @jenniferberryhawes.bsky.social
here that these states deliberately avoid data collection so they can avoid potential litigation and/or legislative oversight—and so the voucher lobby is the only source of “facts” on the ground
