Democratic Socialist. Anti-fascist. Feminist. Pro-education. It grieves me that the majority of our national politicians of both parties accept money from AIPAC and must therefore disregard Palestinian lives.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

In years to come, the people who did this will be the ones who will go to jail.

This is how Dems on the Hill need to message on Trump’s economy instead of pussyfooting around!

Trump is now calling Canada, the USA’s closest ally, a “bad abuser” in his disinformation campaign to justify stupid tariffs.

WATCH THE VIDEO BELOW to understand how much of a lie that is, and how outrageously out-of-line an American President is by saying it.

Watch it, then please share it a lot.
IMPORTANT: If you live in the United States or Canada, you’ve probably heard Trump‘s constant claim that the United States is “subsidizing” Canada. It’s wrong of course, but here’s the best explanation I’ve seen about how & why it’s wrong. PLEASE WATCH & SHARE IT A LOT. Kudos to Andrew Chang & CBC.

So bittersweet.
VP Harris: Today, I will perform my constitutional duty as Vice President to certify the results of the 2024 election. This duty is a sacred obligation — one I will uphold guided by love of country, loyalty to our Constitution, and unwavering faith in the American people.

Norovirus is here. Be sure to wash your hands. Hand sanitizer does not work!

Drink plenty of fluids. If you cannot keep anything down, seek treatment in the emergency department!

The House GOP has released their top 12 priorities, and they're those kitchen-table economic issues that voters said they cared the most about. Ho ho ho, just kidding, it's some performative bullshit about trans people and immigrants. www.wonkette.com/p/house-repu...

The richest man on the planet could probably solve child cancer himself using less money than he burned destroying Twitter.

Instead, he used his influence to strip $190 million from the budget for pediatric cancer research.

What a fucking asshole.

I am constantly fighting for equity!

As we are in our last week in DC, before the 119th Congress & we are in the final days of the Biden presidency, I’m hopeful that we can bring some semblance of justice to those currently incarcerated under crack cocaine disparities.

📽️ WATCH: The morning that Coast Guard Cmdr. Elizabeth Nakagawa was scheduled to have a D&C, or dilation and curettage, to remove fetal tissue after having a miscarriage, she learned the surgery had been canceled because Tricare, the military’s health insurance plan, refused to pay for it.

So Tiffany Trump’s new father-in-law is who Trump has appointed as his new Middle East advisor, an appointment that doesn’t require Senate approval

Well as it turns out, he’s not exactly the billionaire businessman he claims to be, but a truck salesman🙃
