Let's Go!

Marry who you want. Live your lives in peace. Respect and uphold each other.

Why is this so hard?

Virginians deserve the right to marry who they love — full stop. I’m relieved that the Supreme Court decided to maintain this landmark precedent.

Virginia, come January, know that you will have a Governor who will always protect your right to marry.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court rejects a call to overturn its decision legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide.

Immigration agents crashed into a U.S. citizen on her way to work—then dragged her out of her car and arrested her.

Her family couldn’t find her for hours.
She was later released without charges.

So, the growth in the wealth of just the top 10 billionaires in ONE YEAR could fund SNAP for SEVEN YEARS!

No one needs that much, and if you have that much and aren't spending all your time doing good, you may be very hot in the next life.

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP

You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670

Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem

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

You’re doing their dirty work.

Silence is complicity.
Courage is contagious.

Sounds too simple, but is true.

Same for cowardice.
Remember as well what I said about this the other day: Every time Pritzker, Newsome or whoever does this successfully, it creates an incentive to do it again. Criticism is a self-reinforcing cycle.

Take strong, morally right positions.

Stop trying to calculate.

Stop worrying about your political career.

Just stand up for people, for equity, and for democracy. Don't equivocate, don't water down, dont be afraid. Stick.

@ndrew.bsky.social
one of the reasons voters believe the caricatures of the democratic party pushed by republicans is because the democratic party itself believes in the caricatures of the democratic party pushed by republicans
Duh. Those of us on the ground last year actually speaking with middle class/working class voters and who heard from these voters every single day the same - “Trump is an asshole, but Democrats are out of touch” - could’ve saved my new political party a lot of time & money producing this “report.”👇

He's right: It's outrageous that 40M people need SNAP...

But maybe instead of victim blaming and dog whistles, he should wonder WHY our society has such a wealth disparity that so many people NEED food assistance despite having full time jobs.

Maybe he wants them to eat cake?

Someone want to tell Mikey here that 86% of all SNAP benefits go to households that include a child, an elderly person, or a person with disabilities?

Or that almost 40% of SNAP recipients are children?

And that Whites account for 37% of SNAP recipients?

This is maddeningly correct.

AI comps are the oil barons of today, grabbing land for data centers like they are the power plants of the 50's, overpromising and underdelivering while leaving the disadvantaged worse off.

A focus on renewables solves many problems

The fact that the US is so focused on AI instead of renewables is going to set our economy back years, if not decades.

Resharing because this is such a great, comprehensive list of resources that is continually being added to as we learn about more resources Feds can access while we are working without pay 👇👇👇
The Civil Servants Coalition, which authored the letter asking Congress to support a shutdown if the legislation to end it did not include reigning in the illegal actions of the administration, has put together this Google doc of resources. Please share it widely so Feds can hold the line longer!!✊✊

There are no circumstances where human beings should be without food. There are no qualifications that make someone undeserving of access to food. If you are a human being, you should get food. I don’t care about ability, job status, legal status, or anything else. If people are hungry, feed them.
