The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.
Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.
The list goes on and on.

@raskin.house.gov: "They'd conscripted 1000 FBI agents to be working around the clock 24 hours going through 100,000 Epstein documents and told them to flag any mentions of Donald Trump... This might be one of the most massive cover-ups in the history of the United States unfolding before our eyes."

I was there! Super inspiring! I made friends with Jane from Lakewood and her mom Sarah from Boulder! I saw my supervisor right after the rally ended. So proud of my city, and ready to expand my community and put in the work. #aoc #bernie #denver
AOC: Do you know which coloradans did vote to cut medicare and jack up health care cost? Every single Republican representative from Colorado. Don't you worry, I was just at Gabe Evans' district, and 11,000 of his constituents would like a word

Great article! There are so many fascinating subreddits. The r/Denver is really solid. A post about about where 30s & 40s singles can meet other singles inspired a very active Discord server. I have also encountered some of the most empathetic and kind people in r/PetLoss and r/GriefSuport

Reddit’s not perfect, but it may be the best platform on a junky web.

Let me say this clearly. The tariffs are a money grab. Less money in the hands of the American people due to the new 25% tax on goods. More money to distribute to his cronies in the form of tax cuts.
See how it works?

So furious! I’m an archivist & librarian in the public sector, and could not have obtained professional level compensation without a masters degree. Just saw this in the PSLF subreddit. It’s from a House Budget Committee memo posted by Politico : www.politico.com/f/?id=000001...

"’I didn't make up the problems,’ I pointed out. 'All I did was look around at the problems we're neglecting now and give them about 30 years to grow into full-fledged disasters.'” -- Octavia Butler, 2000
Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again."
She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.

It is reprehensible that the GOP is looking to put conditions on aid to California and play politics by attaching aid to the debt ceiling, just so they can give tax breaks to billionaires. This is extortion and it cannot stand.

#Altadena has a Black community that began during the Great Migration of people escaping the Jim Crow South. Now those neighborhoods are 2nd-4th gen Black families. Over 60% of Black residents are over 65 yrs old. LA’s #EatonFire burned it to the ground
