KARL: Rs are gonna make you the poster child for the D Party MAMDANI: Let them. We don't have to ask ourselves what life looks like if a socialist wins. I won last year & over the course of the last 6 months what we've delivered for working people are the very things we were told were impossible.

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670 Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy? You’re doing their dirty work.

Dear Democratic Members of Congress: I am urging each of you to adopt a food pantry this week. Make it clear that Trump and the GOP are withholding $5 billion in a contingency fund that could fund SNAP benefits and feed Americans, so you're adopting a food pantry in your district.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..."

"not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..."

"...you're rich. If you have, whatever-"

"- yachts and planes and islands and you STILL need more? You're not rich."

NOT-SO-FUN FACT: Instead of supporting domestic farmers, Trump is now DOUBLING the taxpayer-funded bailout for Argentina, bringing the total to a whopping $40 billion. That’s nearly TWICE the cost of extending the ACA tax credits for an entire year!

I walked and thought that I should show you this moment in Kyiv. And maybe you’ll pass it on to those who still think Ukraine is only a battlefield.

It’s a good day to: ✅ make something ✅ hug a loved one ✅ snuggle a pet ✅ get out in nature ✅ move your body ✅ create a nourishing meal ✅ love harder ✅ find a reason for gratitude ✅ be with others ✅ remember that joy & community are forms of resistance, too. 🕊️

4 yrs ago today, I witnessed a volcanic eruption for the first time, close enough to feel the intense warmth of the Earth's creation on my skin. It literally changed my life. I may spend the rest of my life seeking an experience as powerful as this and never find it, and that's okay.

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS. Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!” Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.
