There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

Retailers have quietly tightened return policies (with shorter windows and new fees) to increase their profits.

Before you buy this #BlackFriday, check the fine print of the return policy – just in case.
Retailers are quietly changing their return policies – here’s why you should be on the lookout this Black Friday

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Meanwhile, the seven largest health insurance companies made a combined $71B in profits in 2024.

It’s far past time for Medicare for All. Here’s what you need to know.

Poverty is a policy decision.

Concentrated wealth is a policy decision.

Inequality is a policy decision.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Love this guy! 😍
Just sharing a bear who is very excited to see a giant sweet potato in his allotment.

This was from a magazine commission I got last year from @highlightsforchildren who are always fun to work with!

Why did Congressional Republicans jam through an unpopular budget with the largest Medicaid cuts in history?

It could be because nearly 70% of them would financially benefit from the bill's extension of Trump's tax cuts for the rich.

Reverse Robin Hood.

A win for truth and history: A National Park Service page(removed by Musk) on the Underground Railroad has been restored to prominently feature Harriet Tubman, after her image and quote were removed earlier this year. Now, her legacy as a fearless champion for freedom has rightfully been restored. ✊
