It’s awful. When I went into teaching, I knew I would never be wealthy, but I expected to be comfortably middle class. That all disappeared when I was assaulted by a student. The workers comp company used every tactic to make sure I suffered for years. I’ll never work again, never have money

Our candidates are outraising sitting members of Congress, all without taking a DIME of corporate money. The incumbents we are challenging shouldn’t be nervous; they should be terrified. Help us keep the people-powered momentum going: leaderswedeserve.com/2026-candida...

In my favorite campaign, we all had our memories wiped and didn’t remember our past relationships. I didn’t know *why* I strongly disliked one of our group members. I just knew that I did. It turns out his character was my professor and gave me detention all the time for pranks.

Yes, but also no. There are lots of Type 2 diabetics who use insulin as well.

This is revolting. There is no way this should be within the state or federal government’s control

Yeah. I really hope this doesn’t prompt more bans. Many of us *need* to mask, but there are so many who just don’t get is. Right now, we need others to mask as well. To help protect us, and to help prevent mask bans.

How the Social Security Administration and DOGE are gaslighting Americans
The Social Security Administration (SSA) sent an email on March 27 to beneficiaries saying that reports that field offices were closing was an invention of fake news media.

I’m proud of my senator for being outspoken about this. Pete Hegseth absolutely needs to resign. Tulsi Gabbard, Mike Waltz, and John Ratcliffe all need to go, too. You cannot be a leader in national security or defense and not be diligent about things like this.

It’s because he’s just playing the role of president in a ceremonial capacity, hence all the public executive order signings. Other people are doing all the real work, and if you remember his first term, he didn’t want the intelligence briefings prepared. It’s a show. He gets attention without work.

Ugh. Mask bans are ridiculous, and I’m super disappointed when Democrats push for them. It was abundantly clear after the first 9 months of the pandemic that few people care about disabled and immunocompromised people. But banning masks? The only reason I am able to go anywhere is because I mask

I’m glad they’re all okay. Yeah, I think minor hail damage is likely our only issue. We lost power at about midnight and it’s still out, so I’m anxiously sitting around hoping it comes back on soon. I just refilled my insulin on Thursday, so I have thousands of dollars of insulin in my refrigerator

I hope they’re all okay 💕 I was driving back to STL from Chicago and *almost* made it before the worst of the storms hit. Instead I ended up hitting Litchfield right before the tornado warnings hit. It was nasty out there.

I think there were a few things that contributed to that, but these 2 are the ones I feel had the biggest impact. - The Kamala HQ staff were mostly the same staff members who worked for Biden HQ up until he dropped out - I couldn’t find any staffers who had previously worked as organizers

Cody @37cody.bsky.social · 10/03/2025
Yeah, they’re trying to hide things in the CR. It is not just a way for them to avoid a government shutdown next month. They are also trying to use it to push through parts of their agenda. Don’t let them get away with this.

UPDATE—Mahmoud's attorney says they do NOT know where he is. They were first told he was sent to an ICE facility in Elizabeth, NJ. But when his 8-month-pregnant wife tried to visit him, she was told he's not there. They've received reports he may be sent as far away as Louisiana.

They *really* need to hire young people who are actually organizers who can help them. I’m a little bit hopeful for the DNC in general because David Hogg is now a vice chair. It’s not as good as it would be if the politicians themselves each had someone, but hopefully he can start something

If you are able to go to one of these events, please do. Please make sure to read up on all the various precautions you should take. Be safe 💕 If you (like me) are disabled and unable to attend, share info and do whatever other activities make the most sense for you and your ability level 💕

He will absolutely destroy both programs, with the help of RFK. They both have unhinged and ridiculous views on medicine. Oz doesn’t deserve to keep his medical license for all the harm he has already caused and will continue to cause if he is confirmed.

And they make some really cute masks now. I have KN95s that are pink, blue, any colors. But I also have patterns like stars or rainbow hearts. I can absolutely match my mask to my clothes. And Sip Valves have made it possible for my immunocompromised self to go to concerts, hydrate, and not get sick

Truly, the insurance we should model a single payer after is Medicaid. The price paid to doctors and other medical providers needs to be increased, and the price paid to drug manufacturers needs to be decreased, but Medicaid is the superior program overall. And for goodness sake can we add dental?

I really didn’t think we would ever reach a point where it was necessary to say this, but we have. Zelenskyy is a brave hero for his people. Trump may want to be king, but he isn’t. He can’t be, unless the American people allow it to happen. Putin is unequivocally a brutal dictator and murderer.

The whole thing was such a shit show. I don’t understand how Trump and Vance could ever think they came out of that interaction looking like the “winner” of it. All they really achieved was embarrassing themselves and the country.

I’m one of those people. If I lose my Medicaid coverage, I will die. Not immediately, but within a few months. I will lose access to the medical support that keeps me alive. The really frustrating part is that I’m in this position because I was assaulted at work while I was a public HS teacher.

Check in with the people in your life who rely on Medicaid. Ask them what impact it would have on their life if they lost their coverage. Many are terrified right now.

This is absolutely what they need to do. If the administration chooses to not make itself available to media sources that disagree with then, the media no longer has an obligation to give them airtime. If one side breaks the historical norms like this, the other side doesn’t have to abide by them.

It is so disgusting what they’ve done. It’s blatantly obvious that racism is at play with the higher ups. They cancelled six shows. Guess what the common denominator is. They are all BIPOC.

Please read and share. But especially share with folks that might not realize how critical Section 504 is to so many people. I tried to write a simple clear explanation at the break. I hope it reaches some people who aren't already on our side. Gift link: www.startribune.com/why-are-repu...

Why are Republican states trying to overturn a pillar of disability rights?
They may not be successful in repealing Section 504 as part of the attack on treating gender dysphoria, but it begs the question of what they might come for next.

Every MSNBC anchor who has lost their show this week is a POC - Reid, Wagner, Phang, Diaz-Balart, Capehart, and Mohyeldin. This is extremely problematic, especially when you consider it within the context of the prominent and racist actions taken by the current president and his team.

Wait. Was she fully fired from MSNBC? I thought they cancelled The ReidOut (which is a travesty) but she was still going to be doing other work

The cancellation of Joy-Ann Reid and Alex Wagner is so disappointing and painful. They are not the anchors people have a problem with. Morning Joe and Katy Tur are the shows people want changed. Everyone from Nicole Wallace through Stephanie Ruhle is solid.

And the ads aren’t beneficial to us. Doctors are the experts who should decide the medicine to prescribe us almost every time. The only exception I can think of is people who have rare illnesses and sometimes know more than their doctors do about it. But those aren’t advertised anyway usually.

These mass layoffs make no sense. These are jobs that require special training and are always understaffed. These layoffs will make it less safe to fly in the US, and there will likely be more crashes than the 7 that have already happened in less than 3 weeks.
