Kings: For most of history, most of them did not control big territories. Each king had a carved-out area and tried to expand it by fighting other kings. War was constant. The majority of people were always poor because they were repeatedly ransacked and losing everything.

there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

Today I went to buy a manual can opener because the local food pantry said people need can openers. Holy cow, $16?! Yeah no wonder people with limited income can’t afford a can opener—that’s like five meals, right?

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

Subsidized childcare in the U.S. seems like more of a pipe dream than ever before, with government layoffs and the dissolution of the Dept. of Ed. and Republicans’ hatred of poor people. However, I still think about the wide-reaching ripple effects it would have. First, it would create jobs.

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

I seriously think Target should try the biggest about-face ever. Buy giant billboards everywhere. Red and white, the logo, the font, and just these words:
DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
ARE GOOD FOR AMERICA.
WE ARE SORRY. WE WERE WRONG.
I think they would see something amazing.

"Store employees are now required to smile if they are within 10 feet of a shopper.
They also must make eye contact with and wave to or greet the customer.
If they’re within four feet, the employee should ask how the customer’s day is going or if they need help."
🙄 Won't stop the boycott, y'all.

In case you haven’t heard: Legit food banks in your local area get the most food for your donated dollar. You can buy one can of beans or one bag of pasta with $1. They can buy double, triple, quadruple that for the same $1. So look into food banks, and consider setting up a monthly donation.

One week ago, SNAP recipients expected to get funds added to their card, as usual. It did not happen. Those families are facing new challenges every day now. Help any way you can.
They’re going to be missing rent payments, car payments. They could end up homeless.

I put together some food boxes today and felt really inadequate because I don’t know what the families like to eat or what their cooking skills might be. It made me think how nice communal kitchens could be—people could share tips and recipes while cooking together.

Flight cancellations due to GOP shutdown of government: for many Americans, visiting family at Thanksgiving is huge. The frickin’ Republicans are wrecking one of the most family-oriented holidays we have in this country. Dems: it’s a free talking point! Take it!

Mamdani won the war. Now he has to win the peace.

Mamdani won the war. Now he has to win the peace.
Just saw this video for the first time. I already admired Mamdani, and now I am also so impressed that he took a stand for trans and all LGBTQ+ people like this — when so many Democrats will not!
reminder to all my trans friends that a man who campaigned with this much support and love for us just destroyed the most machine politician to ever exist in spite of all odds. turns out vocally caring about us is a winning strategy!!
UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.
