We're on day 10 of the #RepublicanShutdown, and it has now been 21 days since Mike Johnson last called a vote in the House. I'm ready to work for the #FightingFifth and the American people, and to negotiate in good faith to reopen the government AND secure affordable health care.

CA just blew the lid off: 1.5 million pages of police misconduct and use-of-force records from 700 agencies and 12,000 cases. It exposes a system soaked in violence where police brutalize the people they’re sworn to protect. The receipts? Right here:

For me, it's a metaphor for what's going on in the US and the world at large--the things that are noble or beautiful about our nation being sold off and stripped for parts by people, who, if they had any generosity of spirit, could fix most if not ALL of the problems on the planet.

🚨 SCOOP: DOGE just cut millions in Labor Department grants to support getting women into manufacturing & construction jobs & tackling gender-based violence & harassment at work.
It may be illegal since some grants were mandated by law.

DOGE killed dozens of grants that supported women workers
Advocates say the cancellations, which Mother Jones is first to report, will lock women out of construction and manufacturing jobs—and may violate the law.

Oh man. So much more reason to support small, local restaurants. Forget DashHubEats. Go there. Meet the people, pick up your own takeout, or…eat in.
restaurant profit margins are thin enough, but any restaurants that heavily feature coconut milk, fish sauce, gochujang, teff, berebere, cumin, sichuan pepper, avocado, black vinegar, chili crisp oil, cardamom, tamarind, or soy sauce are in for a world of pain

On Apr. 8, 1864, the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery passed the U.S. Senate with a 38-6 vote. Though the amendment would not pass the House of Reps. until January 1865, the Senate’s vote was a major step in banning slavery. 134 days to Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountdowntoSRD
