The moment when 30 million American's received healthcare (2010) The moment when insurance companies had to start covering preexisting conditions, young adults could stay on their family's policy and I could trust that the small print couldn't screw me if I needed serious medical assistance. 🇺🇸

I’m so glad Charlotte residents are fighting back. ICE, and Trump, must be stopped.
Many communities in Charlotte, North Carolina, were reeling after federal Customs and Border Protection teams descended on the city at the weekend and arrested at least 81 people.

My new phrase to say to Trump from henceforth: “Quiet, Piggy.” He deserves it after saying it to a female reporter, when it applies so much better to him. I want him out of office so bad. To have to shut the fuck up. Yet I’ll be glad if the Piggy is rendered effectively silent after midterms.

Continuing awful behavior by big corps that shit on rank-and-file workers.
Hourly Walgreens employees will reportedly no longer receive paid time off for six major holidays, including Thanksgiving and Christmas, after the pharmacy giant was acquired by private equity firm Sycamore Partners
Report: Walgreens cuts hourly workers’ pay for 6 major holidays
The hourly employees will only be paid if they work on those holidays.

Here’s a contrary point of view. I too fear that the Senate 8’s agreement, even with the positives they did get, is a loss for us. I wanted us to stick to our guns. But I think it’s grossly unfair to want to dump fighters like Kaine and King as a result. I’m for a Dem youth movement. But … 1/2

I know this isn't getting as much attention as the other races, but so glad that Colorado voted in favor of Prop MM, which increases state income taxes on people earning more than 300K to help give breakfast and lunch to certain public school students, with additional funds going to SNAP.

Oh, if only Biden had appointed Doug Jones instead of Merrick Garland to be attorney general … just imagine.

Charlie Sykes: “On a massive scale, the rallies refuted the MAGA fear-mongering about “Hate America” riots, exposing (once again) Mike Johnson, Karline Leavitt, and Ted Cruz as the retromingent assholes they are.”

So many horror stories coming out of ICE.
A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility.

This is beyond cruel.

For Kristi Noem, Pam Bondi, or anyone else confused: THERE IS NO NETWORK OF ANTIFA! It’s a belief or a movement, NOT AN ORGANIZATION! But I don’t think you’re that confused. You’re just flagrant, unethical liars who will get your due for crimes against the American people.

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Wow. Let’s not blow past this. The administrator of the ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY says that climate change is a hoax/con job.

Donald is trying to get the AG to find a reason to prosecute his opponents, but is fine with Tom Homan taking a bribe.

Got it.

Be sure you take a moment today to remember Charlie Kirk for exactly who he was.
Charlie Kirk Sept 27 2024: "Just so we're clear, the Haitians that are in Huntsville that are raping your women and hunting you down at night - it's only gonna get worse - unless Donald Trump wins
There will be hundreds of thousands of Haitians brought into Alabama and they will become your masters"

Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence.

Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets.

Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe.

It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.

What's next? From today: "Rather than stand idly by while our constitutional freedoms are lost, I dissent."
“With fear for our democracy, I dissent.”

“In sadness, I dissent.”

“With deep disillusionment, I dissent.”

What’s next?

Hooray for my state! More of these alliances, please.
California, Oregon and Washington announced yesterday they’ve created their own health alliance, saying the CDC has become “a political tool that increasingly peddles ideology instead of science.”

New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island have now done the same.
