Unconscionable cruelty!

Listen to Senator @markey.senate.gov : 1 TRILLION will be cut from Medicaid. The people harmed the most are the people that NEED the care the MOST! Hospitals will be SHAKEN at their roots. SNAP cuts will also harm people. A high PERCENTAGE of young people are on SNAP at some point!

These are the kind of Christians that terrify fundamentalists. OWL, or Our Whole Lives, is a sex ed program free of shame or judgment. In my town, it's free at the UCC for 8th/9th graders and attended by the interfaith community. #NoShame #InterfaithCommunity #UCC #UnFundamentalist #Deconstruction

Officials have banned reporters covering protests at Delaney Hall from wearing gas masks and carrying bags with other protective gear. These kinds of bans are dangerous and wrong. We spoke to journalists who told us why.

PPE bans not only risk reporters. They risk the public’s right to know

Journalists who cover protests across the U.S. told us how personal protective equipment keeps them safe and helps them report the news

Wow, Trump finally got a crowd to show up at the Kennedy Center.

A social safety net catches people left behind by the wealthy. Who get laid off while the CEO departs in a yacht. Who labor nonstop under high stress until their bodies fail. Who survive domestic violence, who lose the farm, who suffer accidents or disasters. Who tradition calls The Least of These.

Elon Musk is officially the world's first trillionaire. Yes, TRILLIONAIRE. Meanwhile, the Social Security Trust Fund is set to run dry in 2032. There's no way around it: Congress needs to #ScrapTheCap and make sure Elon and his friends pay their fair share into Social Security.

Welp, David Crowder is the featured musical guest for this horrifying Christian manosphere event. I had hoped he wasn't all in with the white Christian Nationalists, but this FreedomCon website reeks of it. #Crowder #ChristianNationalist #Nope #deconstruction #Exvangelical #IndependentWomen

Oh boy did I fall down the rabbit hole—the same old Christian Dominionist propaganda for a new generation. Rather ironic that it’s called “FreedomCon” Have you experienced these kinds of expectations? Would love to hear about it.

Make it #1! Let's go, Exvangelicals. We can do this!

🏳️‍🌈 Back in the 2000s, a Christian music group called Avalon kicked out a gay member. A couple days ago he and a couple former band mates released a re-record of Testify to Love, backed up by an LGBTQ choir. It’s #2 on Apple Music in Christian music 🥰

Tulsi Gabbard just resigned. This is how I'll remember her.

Times have been worse than they are today in the U.S. Important to remember not because some people aren't living under terrible conditions right now but because it shows that things can in fact change for the better. They change if we change them.

ICE has violated almost 100 court orders. Let me say that another way. 100 times ICE was caught brazenly ignoring the law. 100 times a court told them to immediately stop. And 100 times they ignored the order. That's an out-of-control agency that shouldn't get another dime.

When you use AI to do your writing, you are telling your audience: “I deserve your attention, but you do not deserve my effort.”

This thread is wild. Takeaway: don't use self checkout at Target. This poor woman and her family ...

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

The Republican Congress is the reason that Hegseth was allowed to start an unwinnable war. The Republican Congress is the reason we are having the worst measles outbreak in decades. The Republican Congress is the reason that people are being terrorized by ICE.

Just, no.

People across the country are already being harmed by drastic health care cuts. Now, lawmakers want to use that money to pay for an unauthorized and unpopular war. They must be stopped.

Still can’t get over the House GOP rejecting a 100-0 bill from the Senate to fund TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA and… just going on vacation. Complete abdication of duty.

Due to high geopolitical tensions, sports fans are temporarily required to contextualize their posts, for example: ❌ OH GOD OH NO OH FUCK ✔️ OH GOD OH NO OH FUCK how did he make that basketball go in the hole

Anti-life, anti-family villainy.

ICE arrests father, Juan Chavez Velasco, on his way to deliver milk to his baby in the NICU. Please keep speaking up. You are making a difference! youtu.be/f2scDCELWCI?...

At what point can we stop this madman?? How long can we let him keep power to destroy us all?

The Supreme Court's tariff decision means the government may have to pay corporations $175 BILLION in refunds. Corporations raised prices and passed those costs off to you. Your family likely paid $1,700 in tariff fees last year. And corporations are getting the refund. Scam.

And of *course* the DHS Concentration Warehouses will have gun ranges! Because nothing says "Your life is meaningless" like being locked into a dark hole filled with thousands of others & having to listen all day to the sound of gunfire nearby. Horror unimaginable, paid for by your tax dollars.

The story that Elon Musk committed voter fraud has gotten next to no coverage -- one of those things you can't make come up on a Google search. But I think it's time for Dems to go on offensive abt right wing coddling of this immigrant interfering in our elections. newrepublic.com/post/206857/...

Liberation Day has finally arrived

One minute your advising the commander why he can’t use sidewalk money to build an airfield because, no, a runway is not just a bunch of sidewalks next to each other. The next minute your getting you ass sanctioned off because you don’t do civil law and no one is listening to you. Army stronk sir

Incredible. Human Art is powerful and transformative. May the horrors cease. May we persist. May Renee and Alex's memory continue to be a blessing.
