It's really crucial to remember that a "gas tax holiday" means starving states of revenue. That means fewer resources for public needs. Who do you think wins in a fight between funding for preschools and highways?

This pack is very special to me. Six years ago, today, we lost our 32 year-old son, Bryan. I wanted to honor his memory by creating this pack. It includes an amazing group of Resisters, a few of whom are fellow bereaved parents. Please follow, like and share 💖🦋 go.bsky.app/Mm4gmQo

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Why is the Republican answer always to accept less?

Hi, Norwegian here
In the USA, medical school tuition is
typically over $200,000.
In Norway: Nothing.
Students get government loans for living
costs. Each semester you pass, up to 40%
converts to a grant.
This is why a cashier's child can become a
doctor in Norway. Your academic abilities
matter, not who your parents are.
Follow for more from a social democracy,
where dignity is not a privilege.

This tells us that they are guilty, protecting the guilty or both. It also shows they don't know what to do, they are still afraid of trump and they don't care about the real issues.

FB has maliciously banned 1000's of people because they "contravened Community Standards". They helped FB make BILLIONS in advertising, based on user numbers. Users are banned for using FREE SPEECH fighting for their political rights + much more. If banned, would you join a Class Action against FB?

We The People must #RiseUpAndResist 💪 We need to elect veto-proof Democratic majorities in both chambers of Congress in the upcoming midterms as a critical guardrail against the orange DICK-tator and his regime. We will NOT allow the Nazi-regime history to be repeated here in OUR Nation.
In 1934, Germany passed a law making it a crime to tell jokes or laugh at its leaders.

We can't go down that road. Because what's next is you can't post what you want on social media. And you can't text your friends anything that might upset the government.

That's not the way it should be. The People shouldn't be afraid of their government. The government should be afraid of the people!

This is the same bigot speak cops would give me as a teenager when they'd stop me as I was walking home & asking me for my ID. "If you did nothing wrong, you have nothing to worry about." "I wasn't doing anything wrong, I was fine until someone wanted to racially profile." That got me arrested.

Social security is not welfare. Americans paid into it and the GOP stole it for their wars and corporate tax cuts. For example, Bush stole $1T from social security for his Iraq war. Trump cut the corporate tax rate several times and blew up the deficit. Social security is not the problem, GOP is.

Pete Hegseth is the most incompetent person in the Trump regime — with the exception of Trump himself — and a clear and present danger to the entire world If Trump won’t fire him, Democrats should impeach him when (hopefully) they take over the House and Senate next January.
