TODAY: New SNAP cuts are kicking in because of Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill." 5 million people have already lost food assistance, including 1.5 million+ kids since the bill was enacted. No kid deserves to go hungry so Trump can give his billionaire buddies another tax handout.
The right to vote is one of the most fundamental parts of our democracy. Check your voter registration at IWillVote.com and make a plan to vote early or on Election Day on November 3.

So tired of these assholes. They do whatever they want. They don’t care. They’re not satisfied with a 6-2map. They want to erase every Democrat in the state. They want to erase every black voice in the state. It’s not democracy. It’s red state tyranny.
When are we going to get rid of RFKJr and his minions and get this kind of stuff over with? www.newsweek.com/pork-recall-...

You are not alone. Poor perinatal mental health, including postpartum depression, is very common. And hard to cope with. In fact, 1 in 5 women experience a mental health condition during pregnancy or in the year after the birth. Remember: prompt mental health support can make all the difference.
okay but seriously where the watermelon-carrying fuck is Mitch McConnell
If you are a democrat/independent and aren't planning to vote in the upcoming elections, then you are in fact voting...for continuing the fascist policies of Donald Trump. Sitting this one out is beyond dangerous. Whatever it takes, vote like your life, or quality of life, depends on it. It does!

A timeless lesson from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) is that while Nazis are evil, billionaires who hoard wealth and seek eternal life may be even worse. And bonus evil if they’re Nazi billionaires.

Are we ever going to find out what happened to mitch McConnell
As a tribute to Dolly, why not donate a book? Leave one is a free library. Give one to a friend or neighbor or child. Buy one for a teacher’s wishlist. If you have book donation ideas, add them to this thread. Dolly would love to see people getting books!

This is truly heartbreaking. Dolly Parton was an extraordinary person and an irreplaceable champion of the working class. We are a better country because of her.

A suggestion for "centrists" who want to win Democratic primaries like this: Move to the left.
Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.
the fact that john ossoff can kick off a two-day media cycle by saying that the president is uninterested in doing his job and is sleeping through meetings and traveling around with a young blonde, suggests that not enough of these guys are speaking plainly and effectively about these assholes
Louder for the centrists in the back 📣📣📣
Walker Bragman@walkerbragman.bsky.social · 2mo agoHakeem Jeffries cannot become speaker in 2027. It would be a colossal waste of power and opportunity for Dems to elevate him again. They need to choose someone stronger and preferably isn’t to the right of the vast majority of American voters on healthcare.
Get your screenings! It could save your life!
Kelly Barnhill@kellybarnhill.bsky.social · 2mo agoInstead, this is a story of the miracle of preventative health care. Look at it just sounding the alarm, alerting the medical system to my unfolding risk, keeping me from harm and possibly saving my life. Well done, preventative health care! And thank you!
