Trump seeks to label Democrats as communists, but he was the one who rolled out the red carpet for Chinese President Xi Jinping and kissed his ass. He is clearly Putin’s comrade and buying government stakes in private companies, so why aren’t more people calling out this bullshit? #ComradeTrump

Democrats fight every day to expand healthcare access and make it more affordable. Republicans fight every day to cut it. Medicare cut $536 billion. Part D subsidy ended. Medicaid gutted. Different parties. Different values. #RepublicansCutMedicare

Republicans alone slashed Medicare with zero Democratic votes and timed it for after the election. A Democratic Congress will restore the cuts, cap insulin at $35, expand dental and vision coverage, and crack down on Big Pharma. Vote them in. #RepublicansCutHealthcare

Reinstatement appears to be on the horizon, but without knowing a “horizon date,” and going so long without a paycheck, our savings are now depleted. My (ret.) husband even decided to take Social Security early due to our situation, but it’s not much. This is why I’ve barely been online. (🧵)

The atrocities committed by the Israeli government under Bibi Netanyahu has become a pretext for depraved minds to justify antisemitic violence against my fellow Jews worldwide. As a Jew, I therefore proudly point out that the current leader of the democratic free world is Vlodmyr Zelenskyy.

I accidentally became a bone broth person because I was trying to make something that felt nourishing, cheap, useful, and a little emotionally stabilizing. Anyway, two years later I have opinions about chicken feet.
