The current influx on this platform feels different than the migration to Threads.

This feels....more viable. Stronger, more complete.

The sooner we make X irrelevant the better.

Spread the word.

Why is Trump going after America's air traffic controllers, today of all days?

It's one more way to distract from his decision to increase your health insurance premiums."

Found the tweet that Joyce Carol Oates bodied Elon Musk with and it's so beautiful in its eloquent, simple take down. So much so he's crashing out trying to prove he reads books now. Put this in the Louvre.

Hey, you don't want to mess with my friend Joyce Carol Oates. She has claws and knows how to use them.

To the 8 Dem senators who took a “trust me, bro” about the ACA from fash trash republicans: 1 in 7 Americans rely on the ACA-you work for We the People, not corporate donor overlords and We the People will not forget those of you who bent the knee and sold us out.

Hey, at least Rudy Giuliani has a new pardon and enough to eat.🙄

Traitor Trump will pardon and feed convicted felons but not American children.

One of two things is true:

1. Chuck Schumer genuinely felt this is a bad deal, so he voted against it, but he couldn't keep Senate Dems in line because he's a lackluster leader.

OR

2. Chuck Schumer orchestrated the shutdown deal w/ retiring Dems because he's a bad strategist and got rattled.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

We need new leadership. New blood, young, scrappy, and hungry (in my Hamilton voice). The establishment has, and continues to, fuck the progression of the party at every turn. If the Dems cave, it is the nail in the coffin of any chance to rallying those already sunken, to believe again…GTFOH

There is no emergency SNAP money left.

It was stolen for DHS.

800+ flights cancelled today because Elon took a chainsaw to the federal government and Trump won’t pay the remaining airport personnel.

Elon’s on his way to becoming a trillionaire.

Trump’s net worth has more than doubled inside a year.

Glad everything worked out for them.

How about you?

It’s wild that an American President is fighting to starve the people that put him in the position to be able to starve them.

Anyone else thinking the money is gone?

This situation is beyond horrific.

The whole world is watching Republican thugs brutalizing men women and children in America. Racist scum grabbing everyone who is not WHITE and demanding they prove they belong here.

This is all the doing of REPUBLICANS and red states. May they suffer for 100 years.

Dear Walmart,

Consideeing you have more employees on SNAP than any other company — instead of simply having a ‘cheaper’ Thanksgiving bundle, how about giving your underpaid employees who must rely on SNAP for survival, one for free? It’s the least you can do. And I stress, the LEAST…
