“Hard to believe Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA” is one of the best descriptions I’ve heard of the GOP’s vision for America.
Jenn@jennburrill.bsky.social · 4w agoTaco Bell identified the source before the FDA & pulled the lettuce from its stores The FDA didn’t name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves & the FDA still hasn’t issued a recall Hard to believe Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA
Voting isn't just a right. It's an act of resistance. When they try to steal our voices, we speak louder. When they build walls, we break them down. When they suppress, we SHOW UP. Get into #GoodTrouble on this Weekend of Action. Because #ElectionsMatter! Sign up @ social.demcast.com/s/e3APuu2Y
#DidYouKnow only 22 seats need to be won for 7 state legislatures to flip #RedtoBlue? ➡️ MN House ➡️ WI Senate & Assembly ➡️ MI House ➡️ AZ House & Senate ➡️ PA Senate When state chambers pass 23X more laws than Congress AND they control redistricting for Congress #ItStartswithStates
And why #Arizona is THE most critical of the midterm battlegrounds for control of the state legislature. Help us support Sen. Kiana Sears, @rockee4az.bsky.social, and @lorenaaustinaz.bsky.social to make sure that in America, voters pick their leaders...not the other way around! #ElectionsMatter
Taniel@taniel.bsky.social · 4w agoElection deniers, up and down the Arizona ballot. Arizona votes next week, and my preview shows the breathtaking degree to which the GOP primaries feature public officials and candidates who actively tried to overturn the 2020 election — including a fake Trump elector making a comeback.
The #Virginia budget passed last month will help absorb some of the stress on our residents who need SNAP and food banks but we don’t have the resources of an otherwise cruel federal government that‘s making it more difficult for their constituents to eat. #valeg www.wsls.com/news/local/2...

As chair of the Virginia Commission to End Hunger, federal Rs kicking people off of funding for their food is effing dumb as hell. It doesn’t create some fantasy tough-love “pull yourself up” condition. It just further impoverishes people and stresses food banks, localities and state governments.
