Im more convinced than ever that not a single fix to any problem will exist in my lifetime. We’ll never get healthcare. There will never be true equality. There will never… there will never…

GOP is good at the Luntz method of strategic word choice: selecting language carefully designed to trigger emotionally charged, intuitive responses that powerfully frame issues in ways beneficial to their political agenda (estate tax ➾ death tax) We need to do that with Medicaid Work Requirements

I hate depression. It really distorts my view of people. At least I think it does since I believe that most people enjoy causing and watching people suffer.

The obsession with the Signal chat and not that the administration bypassed Congress to drop bombs is the perfect illustration of the Democratic Party’s disconnect.

Remember that this is where his discussions with El Salvador began. The migrant detentions there are the dry run. He wants to ship U.S. prisoners to El Salvador.We cannot sleepwalk through this.

Sending Americans to outsourced labor camps. This is not designed to stop at immigrants. Some of you may not want to hear this, but the assault on immigrants didn’t start with Trump, it simply accelerated.

This garbage needs to stop. Jews do not face any institutional hurtles whatsoever, and comparing them to “blacks” as a derogatory is very telling about both the writer and the overarching system regarding anti-black racism.

American society runs on the fact that people aren’t political. They aren’t plugged into what’s happening. People just weren’t paying attention and they are now suffering.

Cutting Medicare and Medicaid is wildly unpopular. That's why they're trying to jam these draconian cuts through right out of the starting blocks, before the American people tune into what's happening. We need to buy time.

It’s wanting to abolish Section 504, wanting to cut Medicare, wanting to get rid of DEIA, wanting to stop people working from home. All of this will kill disabled people. When we tell you that pandemics lead to fascism, this is what we mean. When you excuse our deaths, these policies are pushed.

Another example: Climate change. The planet is dying, but corporations keep polluting because profit comes first. The contradiction? We need a livable planet, but capitalism needs endless growth. The two can’t coexist forever—something has to give. And we know corporations won't give in freely.

Example: Look at capitalism today. Billionaires hoard wealth while millions struggle to eat or pay rent. People have to work to survive, but the more they work, the richer the ruling class gets—while workers stay broke. That’s an "internal contradiction". That’s why capitalism is a huge failure!

What if all of these Federal employees getting laid off become right wing reactionaries due to the economic conditions they are about to face? Without them knowing an alternative to the current system, they may fall further prey to it.

I've been asked if SSI/SSDI payments are in jeopardy now that DOGE demanded access to "sensitive information" forcing the resignation of the career civil servant who was acting administrator We've seen how they've smashed their way through other agencies; DOGE is a threat to SSI/DI payments 🧵

The Social Security Administration’s acting commissioner has stepped down from her role at the agency over Department of Government Efficiency requests to access Social Security recipient information.

Only a failed administration would do nothing substantial to prevent another Trump presidency. How is there is no widespread recognition of the culpability of those in charge and no agreement that we deserved better than what we got?

Hundreds of asylum seekers from around the globe are being trapped by the US in a Panama hotel where they'll eventually be sent to a camp in the jungle. One Chinese man said “I thought: America is a free country with respect for human rights. I had no idea it was like a dictatorship.”

They arrived at the United States
border from around the world, hoping
to seek asylum. Instead, they were
detained, shackled and flown by the
U.S.military to a faraway country,
Panama

They were stripped of their passports
and most of their cellphones, they said,
and then locked in a hotel, barred from
seeing lawyers and told they would
soon be sent to a makeshift camp near
the Panamanian jungle.

At the hotel, at least one person tried to
commit suicide, according to several
migrants. Another broke his leg trying
to escape. A third sent a plaintive
missive from a hidden cellphone: "Only
a miracle can save us."

In one window visible from a sidewalk
below the hotel, a woman clawed at a
latchless glass pane in an attempt to
escape. When she noticed journalists
below, she held up a piece of paper that
read "Afghan.

She made hand motions that indicated
an airplane, then her head falling off.
The message seemed to be clear: A
flight home meant death.

Not seduced by idea of 'when this is over'. I appreciate what folks mean, but the struggle is our current moment. The future is now. The urgency is now. The genocide supported by genocide mongers is happening now. The virulent attack on migrant & trans communities is now. And it's far from over.

Regarding Gaza and Palestinians, Democrats were appealing to 9% of their base leading up to the election. That’s it. It’s apparent that congressional Democrats are completely out of touch with Democratic voters.

It’s strange to see conservatives applauding food regulations because whenever progressives advocate for universal healthcare, we’re met with a chorus of conservatives saying “people should make better decisions!”
