Schools and districts are not equipped to deal with the dysregulation students are going to experience due to excessive hunger and familial stress over food insecurity.

We’re just not in any way prepared.

Remember how just a few years ago during the worst of the pandemic when we saw how the govt can actually do big things and saw that our collective health & well-being are intertwined, and then corporations got mad that they lost a modicum of power and helped fund a backlash of amnesia and fascism?

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

I will always think that feeding families who would otherwise be hungry is a way better use of my tax dollars than building a ballroom or bankrolling another war.

The UAW made history last year by organizing a Southern auto plant for the first time since the 1940s.

They might do so again, after authorizing a strike at the VW plant.

It takes enormous courage to fight for your rights on the job in a hostile environment. Solidarity.

To be abundantly clear, ICE is violating everyone’s constitutional rights, citizens and non citizens alike.

The coup leaders commanding this ongoing illegitimate brutality want us to forget that core fact.

It’s intentional confusion arising out of the chaos they create.

Stay focused.

This is what I know about Republicans: they don’t want us to have healthcare or food. They don’t want us educated. They think people are only worth as much as they can produce in GDP. They don’t like gay people or trans people.They treat women with disdain.

I would never vote for a Republican.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

If federal Democrats simply said that they won’t be cowed little sycophants and let Trump do whatever he wants because that’s the actual fucking job that they’ve been hired for—and Republicans won’t do theirs because they’re weak and useless, so many people would be energized behind them

Kaitlin Is Just Getting Started @gothamgirlblue.com · 7d

The correct response to this is not to attack Trump or his cronies (they know what they’re doing), but GOP Reps and Senators for being sniveling little cowards and pieces of shit who won’t do their goddamn jobs and love licking Trump’s feet and getting publicly degraded while looting the Treasury

The best time to abolish ICE would have been in 2021. The next best time is if we win in 2028. At this point, any Democrat unwilling to abolish ICE must be drummed out of the primary.

Senator Chris Larson @senchrislarson.bsky.social · 10d

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.
