The US spends 2x more per capita on health care than any other nation. Yet 85 million are uninsured or underinsured, 68,000 die because they can’t afford a doctor & we pay the highest prices in the world for Rx drugs.

Health care is a human right. We must pass Medicare for All.

Want a great slogan for midterms?
"If you FAFO and are struggling because of Trump policies, we understand. The Dems are here for you. Tell us how we can help you "

You get the point.

FAFO will be the theme. Be the solution.

It has come to my attention people don’t realize the neo Nazis are using “my heart goes out to you” as a way to reference Hitler saluting, so now you know.

Just a reminder as we near Valentine's Day: thrift stores are FULL of seasonal merch as each holiday approaches. They will have heart-shaped items, candles, themed T-shirts--many items brand new. You don't need to buy more plastic junk new in stores. The world has enough.

Less than a week into Tr*mp 2.0, there’s no better time to buy cookies from transgender Scouts. Trans journalist Erin Reed compiled a list of trans Scouts who would love to receive your order. (And yes, cookies can be shipped!).

Maybe. But while you were posting that, I was researching Target and Amazon alternatives to share.

Collectively, we have massive spending power. We can throw up our hands, or we can get our ducks and dollars in a row and mobilize.

Let’s better align our shopping with our politics. 💵

Target’s cutting their DEI program, but just wait—they’ll be waving that Pride flag in June like clockwork. Why? The merch is already ordered, and the profits are too good to pass up. Performative allyship, aisle 3.
Target becomes latest company to roll back DEI programs
One of the country’s largest retailers said it will end the diversity, equity and inclusion goals it sets in three-year cycles and curtail racial equity initiatives.

Costco shareholders just sent a clear message: DEI is here to stay.

Attempts to roll back progress were crushed—because diversity isn’t a ‘risk,’ it’s a strength. 🔥

So, keep the $1.50 hotdogs coming 🌭

I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is.

Right now, in America, 22 million workers make less than $15/hr. 40 million make less than $17/hr.

Shamefully, the federal minimum wage hasn't been raised since 2009 and remains at $7.25/hr.

I asked Trump's nominee for Treasury if we should raise it.

His response?

"No sir."
