I seriously doubt anyone who follows me gets to vote for this guy, but I love him.
I'm on the slowest bus line in the city with the slowest buses in the nation to talk to New Yorkers about what it would mean for their lives if we made them fast and free.

Disabled people have been warning of forced institutionalization for years.
They want to lock away anyone they see as “less than”.
Homeless people are just the first targets.
We need affordable housing, healthcare & a basic income.

If you don't believe you can work hard and STILL need the government to help you from time, ask a farmer what they think right now.
No more tarrifs, no more cuts. No dollars for dictatorship, and funding for fascism.

Looks like a white supremacist, talks like a white supremacist, acts like a white supremacist--probabky a white supremacist.
This is common sense. Parallels like this are terrifying. They bomb Venezuelan boats to test our reaction to extrajudicial killing with no due process. It is not about drugs

Untreated fever in pregnancy is dangerous!
This "administration's" medical advice should be mostly avoided. Look for peer-reviewed evidence from names and institutions you recognize or can easily Google to see if they have the degrees & experience in their fields to back up their claims.

Gupta: It is safe. That’s what the best-quality research shows. And how irresponsible, using the podium of the WH to put this out there when you’re not even offering an alternative. That is dangerous. An untreated fever is dangerous. Untreated pain in pregnancy is dangerous.

Multi-billion dollar companies, execs, etc are a whole other thing, but I hope Tylenol sues the regime for an incredibly large amount. We need every powerful force we have pushing back against them. Until we can change this system, money & financial blowback have been the biggest drivers of change.

Last week, Disney/ABC caved to Trump administration pressure. Millions of Americans helped them find their backbone.
Whether you watch Jimmy Kimmel or not, today's decision is a victory for free speech.

Use our power. #PeoplePower. Every dollar spent represents a choice, for many of us. (Not all, but many.) Choose wisely.
Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.
Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.
People have power. Ask Target

Thrilled to see growing consensus that Dems must step up in the Continuing Resolution fight. Key to doing so? Refuse to frame this as "shutting down government." Instead, call it what it is - refusing to be an accomplice to turning the government into a weapon against the American people.

“The government sometimes makes brief, investigative stops to check the immigration status of those who gather in locations where people are hired for day jobs such as construction, landscaping, agriculture or car washes…and who do not speak much if any English.”

One day after the Supreme Court lifted the ban on racial profiling, federal agents swarmed a car in Van Nuys.
Four masked agents with guns drawn yanked people out, slammed them to the ground, and pointed a weapon at a pregnant woman.
There is no justification for this. None.

Is he acting like an innocent person? Lying about ridiculous things? Saying it's a dead issue? If he were innocent, wouldn't it be appropriate to still investigate such a heinous human trafficking operation? He's innocent, right? Why not let the truth come out then?
"I never wrote a picture in my life" he says.
"It's all a Democrat Hoax" he says.
$10 Billion lawsuit vs. the Wall Street Journal still on he says.
Wonder what he'll say in the deposition when asked about his pal EPSTEIN & their daily "wonderful secrets"?
