Nearly two dozen of you (!!!) have submitted a SEPTA story via my website since I first issued the call last week. I’m proud to share the first (of many) stories today.

If you decided to leave something outside your congressman’s office to show him how much you resent his support for the Trump admin’s 50% cut to the Dept of Education’s workforce, what would that something be?

I think I'm gonna ask my GP to break out the spirometer next time I'm there.

He refused the rx, saying...

The Laken Riley Act is a farce and a stain on our character as a nation. Any lawmaker who supports it is dishonest and lacks the moral backbone and integrity to represent the People. Evil is being carried out in that dear young woman's name, and it's shameful.

Zuckerberg built himself a $200M doomsday bunker and just removed fact-checking and hate-curbing from Meta to facilitate the Trump admin's propaganda spreading. I think it's naive to not expect those men to implement martial law sometime in the next 4 years.

"bypassing traditional milestones" is a funny way of saying that most of us can't afford to buy a house with multiple jobs, won't have children because we can't afford them, most of our degrees are useless, and we are the poorest generation among all current living generations
