MAGA screams: “Get a job.” “Pull yourself up by your bootstraps.” “Welfare queen.”
But these folks have jobs. They’re federal workers and not getting paid — and now SNAP benefits run out in days. There’s no reason this should be happening.

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Today’s the anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act—but the fight for access, dignity, and justice didn’t start in 1990, and it sure as hell didn’t end there.
Anyone can become disabled at any time. So saving Medicaid is survival. For all of us.

A square mile doesn’t justify a $134 million military occupation, troops sleeping in squalor, or ICE agents terrorizing our communities. Americans feel unsafe. This Saturday, on #NoKingsDay, let’s show up in numbers—and send a message: we will not be ruled by a mad king.

This took a while to get done, but I've chronicled my day among the protesters in Los Angeles, and the idea that this is anything but a celebration of cultural heritage and a firm, nonviolent demand to protect family, friends and neighbors is totally ridiculous.

Cries of Defiance and Songs of Joy in Los Angeles
The protesters are being called unspeakably violent by the Trump administration. I mostly saw clergy sit-ins and Tejano bands.

📌By words and by deed, it is clear as day that Trump has absolutely no respect for the United States which he has already violently assaulted once, nor our men and women who wear the uniform, because like any authoritarian leader he sees them as servants to him, and not our country.

Advocates say the cancellations will lock women out of construction and manufacturing jobs—and may violate the law.

They are going to break Social Security under the guise of fighting fraud and waste so that public trust collapse while 68 million people grow increasingly desperate such that they can privatize it in the name of efficiency and anti-corruption.
It will be the biggest mugging of the century.

Sen. Roger Marshall: "What we do know is that 40% of those phone calls coming into the Social Security hotline are people trying to change the account where that money is being sent. I don't know the success level of those ... we're gonna work on that. I think that's a huge priority."
