Just got off the phone with my mom. She's so stressed about finances. She might get survivor benefits but the ss office is shutdown right now. I don't know how to help her through this. #GoToWorkCongress #shudown

People need to swarm the streets on the 1st when people can't buy food. No scheduling. Just show up yelling enough is enough & don't go back until things change. Food is at an all time high & it's just going to get worse. Utilities are through the roof & layoffs are everywhere. #snap #CommonGood

Please help by giving us a share. My mom takes care of my autistic brother and is unable to work. This has already been a difficult year. Her mom died earlier this year and they have nothing saved. Every dollar helps. www.legacy.com/us/obituarie...

Talarico speaking on Rogan: I'm a Christian, and I think there is no more dangerous form of government than theocracy—because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they’re on a mission from God.

50 Republican Senators + JD Vance just voted to kick millions of people off their healthcare and food assistance to give more tax breaks to billionaires.
People will die because of this vote, and Republicans are celebrating because their wealthy donors will get richer.

🚨🚨🚨 Trump's extremist Supreme Court has sent shockwaves across the nation, eroding our rights and freedoms and handing power directly to Donald Trump.
The decisions by a rogue SCOTUS are not isolated incidents, but rather a part of a larger pattern of unprecedented attacks on our freedoms.

From Justice Jackson's dissent in Trump v. CASA: "this Court’s complicity in the creation of a culture of disdain for lower courts, their rulings, and the law (as they interpret it) will surely hasten the downfall of our governing institutions."

Here in the forest we remember the simple beauty of life, the gentle rustle of the wind, the song of the birds and the soft glow of sunlight shimmering through the canopy.

In her dissent from today's decision—Mahmoud v. Taylor—Justice Sotomayor says that the court's holding "threatens the very essence of public education," and that its "reverberations" will be felt "for generations." This is a very heartfelt and mournful dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
