If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

Wealth inequality has set the stage for our current political condition. The billionaires stay in power by dividing the groups who might otherwise unite and oust them from power. The race baiting, xenophobia, homophobia, and faux religious pandering is all part of the strategy. We shall overcome.

The one thing authoritarian leaders usually have going for them is the general apathy of the majority when they make a move solely against a marginal group in society. But when they occupy an entire city with clumsy, brutal force, that just forces everyone out of that apathy.

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live. Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps: * Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled * Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people?

Does anyone work anymore?"

To be clear, I truly don't GAF that some wealthy and/or famous women were passengers on a Bezos rocket. It is not in any way inspiring, especially at a time when NASA budgets are being slashed and women engineers & scientists are being pushed out of their careers and having their legacies erased 🧪

👇🎯 The only solution now fully consistent with being an actual democracy & not having this remain a weaponized tool of mass voter suppression/disenfranchisement is automatic universal voter registration & free passports for every US citizen.

Wisconsin residents are receiving text messages from a (202) D.C. area code, falsely urging them not to vote in the upcoming election. These messages are not legitimate.

If you live in Wisconsin PLEASE make sure you/your friends vote for Judge Susan Crawford in April 1 election for Supreme Court. Elon Musk is funneling millions to her opponent to BUY a Judge. In every war there is a turning point. Let this election be ours as we begin to take back our country!

“I was hungry” and you cut $1 Billion in funding to schools and food banks. “I was sick” and you worked to gut medicaid, depriving me of healthcare. “I was a stranger” and you defined my humanity by legal status. “What ever you do to the least of these, you do unto me.”-Jesus

One more thing. It’s a classic trap to think that sacking administrators means more focus on ‘front line care’. Very often it means the opposite. It means doctors have to do the admin, which they’re not very good at.
