If humans could fly, I think some of us would. But it probably takes the same amount of energy as running. So realistically, I think most of us would end up like pigeons & loiter outside of convenience stores instead of flying across the country.

You gotta live
I know it sucks, but the only way we get through it is together. So you gotta live
Get scared, get angry, get involved how you can, but you gotta live
You can cuss the whole time, but you gotta live

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

This isn’t over yet. Spread the word.
Republicans' Big, Beautiful Bill would:
— Kick 16 million off their health care
— Close 1 out of 4 nursing homes
— Hike your energy bills
— Add at least $4 trillion to the national debt
It’s a gift to the rich and a disaster for families.

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice.
Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice.
Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice.
Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice.
Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP are choosing to do this.

These are the exact sorts of libs with whom we need to build lasting alliances, because if they’re on board, most of the dumber ones will eventually come around
The rise of people like Lander and Walz, whose ideologies don't exactly match mine but have the exact right combination of "love thy neighbor" and "fuck you, asshole" attitudes, is massive positive for people who care about left of center politics

journalistic objectivity is a tool that is useful for certain things. it's been turned into an ideology by bad faith actors and cowardly, self-interested hacks with family money.
like all cults, it gradually destroys its adherents.

People need to get more comfortable having allies who sometimes do cringey things. Building community isn't about everyone being a perfect extremely cool and hip person. It's about working together towards a common goal. You want the cringey people on your side.

The fact that they’re tracking autism and not the bird flu automatically tells you they’re operating on eugenics and not actually wanting people to be healthy. They want you sick, disabled, or dead.

But Elon Musk and Donald Trump don't care.
Seniors are already seeing delays, and DOGE is teeing up more cuts to cripple the program.
They're playing with YOUR money and YOUR future.

Elon Musk’s DOGE cronies want an AI bot to replace the federal workers who advise students and families on how to pay for college.
Relying on AI for major financial decisions is annoying at best and reckless at worst.
Either way, it’ll cost Americans.
