Mainers will lose their SNAP benefits. Couple this with tax cuts for the wealthy: People earning $15,000 a year will see a tax increase over 9%; ppl making over $1 million a year will see their taxes go down by $97,000.

Thousands of Mainers face loss of SNAP benefits as program undergoes historic cuts
The changes will put more pressure on food pantries, which are already seeing a rise in need and warning that they won't be able to fill the gap.

A Black man just beat the record for the longest filibuster, defeating the record previously held by a man who filibustered the literal Civil Rights Act.
As the time ticked over, Cory Booker announced he did it not out of hatred for who he opposed, but out of love for those who supported him.

Indeed. When they do it to a Tesla dealer it’s bad, but when they do it in the halls of Congress they deserve a pardon.

For 50 years, the median wage of hourly workers stagnated or declined while the stock market and CEO pay skyrocketed.
Is it any wonder so many feel abandoned by the system? People lose faith, and a demagogue fills the void.
This is why we must fix the system.

I follow @hcrichardson.bsky.social closely. She has told us time and again that throughout US history the only thing that's ever worked is the general public making lots of noise. She tells us to take up oxygen in the room, protest in the streets, contact congress, letters to editors, run 4 office.

And now it seems they’re coming for the Lutherans!
Lutheran Social Services is one of the largest employers in South Dakota, operating senior living facilities across the state. Republicans are shutting it down
Perhaps more concerning is Mike Flynn, known foreign asset, having access to this data?

Devastating court decision on statute of limitations for child sex abuse. This ruling was disappointing & re-traumatizes survivors who came forward to seek justice. I hope the Court reconsiders. Survivors deserve justice and to be heard and believed.

How a Maine court ruling on child sex abuse claims compares with the rest of the country
A battle is being waged across states about whether 'retroactive laws' reviving expired claims under previous statutes of limitations are constitutional.

Hey Dems,
Imagine just how much the GOP would be freaking the fuck out if Obama or Biden had allowed Soros access to all treasury payment and taxpayer data. Because they’d be right to freak the fuck out.
So, freak the fuck out. Now would be good.

This is Carolyn Edwards. She was one of the first officers attacked and knocked out on January 6th. She bravely testified before the January 6th committee. She is one of the bravest people I know and she deserves better. (She posted this publicly on her FB page which is why I'm sharing publicly)

Fwiw, Project 2025 did call for massive cuts to NIH research funding, including abolishing NIAID entirely. Very negative on health / biomed research. And that was *before* bringing RFK Jr into the picture. So they are likely serious about this.

A 17 year old opened fire in a Nashville high school today. Hours before police shared his name, fringe extremist communities correctly identified him as one of their own. He left behind a manifesto expressing unadulterated neo-Nazi ideology that endorsed violent “accelerationst” tactics.
