Just a human hoping for a better future. These are terrifying times. Hopefully, with enough community and empathy, we can build a better, more sustainable world.

When RFK Jr ends all vaccination recommendations and requirements for children, guess what happens?
Insurance companies can stop paying for the shots.
Millions of parents won’t be able to choose the vaccines because they won’t be able to pay for them.
He knows this.
It’s social murder.

You are not “less than” because you’re disabled.
You do not deserve to suffer, go hungry, be homeless or be denied healthcare.
You shouldn’t have to “prove” your worth to others.
Your disability is not a moral failing, and you do not need to justify it to anyone.

Abolish ICE.
Call your representatives, and ask if they agree that they must be destroyed. Let them know you’ll volunteer, donate to, and vote for their primary opponents if they refuse to help dismantle and prosecute Trump’s SS.

600 ICE agents were supposed to be deployed to Canal Street. Hundreds of New Yorkers gathered instead.

Emmanuel Garcia went missing, and rather than check missing person’s reports, Houston PD called ICE.

Alcohol, big pharma, the oil industry, the logging industry. Hemp and THC are better for humanity and the world and worse for their profit. When are we finally going to have a government that chooses the people over profit?
Congress just killed the 28 billion dollar THC and hemp market.
Alcohol lobbyists getting their money’s worth.

A man rushed to the Broadview ICE facility searching for his wife. They followed every legal step, but ICE took her into another room and she vanished. He tracked her phone there when the signal died. Police told him to “look up her name online.” He sat in the parking lot, weeping, with no answers.

A lot of people are sharing articles about how to stretch your food budget or cook like our grandparents did to survive.
Our grandparents lived through the Great Depression.
If we’re having to resort to what they did… things are much worse than folks are willing to admit.

You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670

If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?
