To all the republicans against “free government handouts”, go fuck yourself. These programs work and actually generate a ROI. And You can’t privatize something like this because low income families can’t afford childcare up front. How can anyone be against this???
The greatest economic effects of the program come from providing free child care, which helps parents save money and frees them to work more hours. With increased savings and earnings, parents spend more money on goods and services, stimulating the economy.

Tariffs are a regressive tax. The lower income you have, the more the tariffs will affect you.

Experts say annual consumer costs will increase between $1,600 and $2,000.

$1,600 is a lot to a family making $40k/yr

Let’s not forget that 30% of the US already lives paycheck to paycheck….

So it’s very important to the Trump administration that we refer to the Gulf by the name they have chosen to use for it? And they will get offended if we use it’s previous “deadname”? I’m glad they are acknowledging some frustrations within the trans community. 🙄 the irony

Shame on Senator Slotkin and all Dems who voted for the Laken Riley Act. Just to appeal to people uneducated on the issue? Getting ACCUSED of shoplifting should by no means justify getting deported while you wait for your visa to get approved. It should’ve been an opportunity to educate the public.

People who think that billionaires would ever willingly act in the working class’ absolute best interest have much to learn.

Trump has signed an executive order declassifying files regarding JFK, RFK, and MLK Jr.

Weird how he didn't include Epstein in that list.

As we continue to experience the horrors of a Trump presidency, let us not forget who our leader could’ve been… we were so close to an inspirational leader for generations to come

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance.

Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

i think the executive orders directing agencies to end energy efficiency regulations and open up more land to drilling and mining is so indicative of the character of the american right — in its view everything, whether people or our larger environment, is something to be exploited and dominated

I’m just going to say that AOC is the acting leader of the Democratic Party until someone proves otherwise. At least insofar as she is responding to the moment with leadership.

Elon Musk flaunted for years that he is insanely good at video games (said he’s one of the top Diablo players in the world) in a weird attempt to appeal to gamer bros. However, that same community caught him absolutely faking it and paying to level up his character. HAHAHA

I can’t wait for the cost of eggs, gas and houses to drop instantly after Trump takes office. His concepts of a plan will take effect immediately. Believe me. Everyone is saying it.

Watch this. It is refreshing to see an elected official speak about a catastrophe with such poise, sharpness, and overall understanding of the situation…while only leading with facts and expressing compassion for those affected. Gavin Newsom is an extraordinary communicator

Updated election results. The majority of the country didn’t vote for Trump. Also democrats only lost 6 million votes from 2020. Some may ask “WHERE DID ALL THOSE VOTERS GO?”
Maybe people came out to vote Trump out in 2020 because of how horribly he handled the COVID-19 pandemic? Did people forget?

The Michigan Senate Appropriations Committee will be voting any day to grant a Canadian company $50m to mine copper in the Upper Peninsula. This will generate 30 million tons of waste that will poison the environment. Please share and sign this petition to stop them.

Adam Gray is only winning by 187 votes… Think about 187 votes out of 105,554…. That means for every 564 Dem voters, they only need to convince ONE person to vote dem… and those seats can make all the difference for legislation to pass/not pass at the federal level. Spread the importance!

There's no longer any upside to Twitter over Bluesky. Twitter's engagement is terrible, it downranks external links, and you're subjected to straight nazi shit if you write even the most banal post. Why are we subjecting ourselves to this?

@briantylercohen.bsky.social and this doesn’t even account for the number of followers/engagements each influencer has. I’d argue that would be the more terrifying statistic.
When I say that the right is dominating the left on almost all platforms, this is what I mean. I hope Democratic officials take this into account every day. If you want an ecosystem that will advocate for YOU, then YOU need to help build it. Give interviews to creators, break news with creators...

I have spoken with people as to why they voted for Trump. The responses:
“Better for the economy”
“Better for public education”
“Other countries will not walk all over us anymore”
“Better for the border”
All of these are EASILY refutable. It’s important to keep open dialogue so we can educate them.

This party has predicated so much of its identity on its supposed eagerness to root out pedophiles in government… and now these Republicans are poised to bury a report into Matt Gaetz’s alleged sexual misconduct involving a minor.

The GOP is where any semblance of longstanding principles go to die.
