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.

Trump: “It’s a war from within. We have to handle it before it gets out of control.”

Translation: Lots of Americans are anti-fascist. They are too smart and empathetic for our racist, xenophobic, elitist propaganda to work on so we need to have a civil war before we lose this manufactured crisis.

So…let me see if I have this right. The federal government is gonna shut down in 30hrs, and the party that controls the ENTIRE federal government is trying to blame the party that controls NONE of the federal government for the looming shutdown?

Understand this fact—Trump isn’t just anti-science or anti-vaccine—He’s something far worse: Pro Structural Eugenics.

Once you realize his every policy is ingrained in Structural Eugenics, you’ll see the Goal is mass death of Black, brown, & low income people.

BREAKING: We filed a class action lawsuit against ICE for denying people access to lawyers and subjecting them to inhumane conditions at 26 Federal Plaza in New York.

ICE is illegally holding people here for weeks, often without adequate access to medical care, food, or legal counsel.

Good morning. Trump is protecting Epstein files. The confederacy lost and they were traitors, mRNA vaccines are the future, cops shouldn’t wear masks, Trump cut taxes for the rich and ripped benefits from the poor.

Today marks the 60th anniversary of Medicaid and Medicare being signed into law.

And just weeks ago, Donald Trump made the largest cuts in history to these programs.

We can't stand by as they destroy its legacy — we fight like hell to protect the care millions rely on.

It's naive and unhelpful to argue this is just about some old man and his grudge against wind turbines. In fact, it's in service of an agenda promoted by his deep-pocketed plutocrat backers (www.clf.org/blog/fossil-...). To ignore that connection is to play into their disinformation campaign.

Members of Congress are being blocked from oversight.

At 26 Federal Plaza, ICE crammed migrants into holding rooms for days. Men sleeping on floors, wrapped in foil, slumped on benches, no toilet privacy.

Lawmakers want answers. Trump’s team is denying everything.

But the images don’t lie.

Let’s talk about weather balloons—a.k.a. radiosondes—and why recent cuts to NWS staffing and balloon launch schedules are putting the public at risk (eg., Deaths in Texas). No satellite or model can replace what these humble balloons do. Here's why. 🧵
