I keep thinking about the baby abandoned on the subway platform this week. This is what happens when we don't have abortion access. This is what happens when we don't have affordable childcare, healthcare, housing. This is what happens when $ stays with the wealthy. It doesn't have to be this way.

Glad ICE is getting called out for plate swapping in Illinois, but this has been happening in California from the jump.

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death.

They speak out against the #DementedOldRapist. Not so courageous.

I'll pay attention when these Dem leaders speak the truth about their Republican colleagues in Congress.

Because he’s doing his job…reporting. Because we still live in a free country with a First Amendment and a free press.

Never mind every other single abominable or corrupt thing to this miserable moment, the extrajudicial and unevidenced execution of 34 human beings by the U.S. Navy on the orders of a U.S. President acting in peacetime is sufficient for his impeachment and conviction.

If we were a republic, I mean.

Absolutely!
Centrist, Progressive, and Liberal ideas -- as well as honest journalism -- are losing the media wars with the Far Right. Millions of Americans are tuned in daily to Conservative/Christian Rant Radio, FOX, Newsmax, WH Briefings, et al, where disinformation is rampant.

We NEED a permanent extension of ACA tax credits so we can BEGIN to legislate Medicare For ALL & not have people on the Marketplace constantly worried about their subsidies being REVOKED. BUT, Universal Healthcare, like Medicare For All IS the TRUE Answer!

"Shockwaves"???
Once the bulldozer hit the wall, we have to assume there were several previous days or weeks during which valuable items were removed and inventoried and put into storage.

Where is that story? Another Coverup?

The future of solar power is bright, finds @tinymaddie.bsky.social

*Solar panels are cheap, and getting cheaper
*Batteries are good, and getting better
*Economic case for solar will overwhelm political apathy

In short, we're going to run the world on sunshine

With alt text:
A cartoon lists several large government spending amounts on the left in bold black text, including: • “$170B for ICE” • “$117B in tax cuts for the rich” • “$40B for Argentina” • “$250M for a vanity ballroom” • “$230M in DOJ payments to Trump” • “$172M for Kristi Noem’s jets” • “$100M on golf.” To the right, two small figures in red hats stand talking. One says in a speech bubble, “Food stamps are definitely the problem.” The artwork is signed by JDuquette

That's a good one: What do the rich taste or smell like?

They taste like millions of hungry children.
They smell like millions of hungry children who have no soap.

If you don't believe this is possible in the U.S.A., you're not paying close attention.

I was raised herding sheep on the Navajo Nation—without electricity or running water. I’m not in this for status. I’m in this to fight for the families Washington forgets.

Watch what happens at the grocery store checkout ahead of you.

Sometimes a shopper will ask the clerk to put a few items back, a SNAP card payment falls short, seniors have too little protein in their carts, a credit or debit card payment is denied.

Over 77M Americans have no empathy. If they did, they would not have voted for Trump, MAGA, and any Republican.

The GOP message was loud and clear "We will destroy America when we have the power to do it."

🚨🚨🚨ICE agents have criminal backgrounds including domestic violence and battery. Many have not had any background checks or fingerprints taken. Well, this is 100% consistent with what we are seeing on the streets of America.

People really need to wrap their heads around HOW ATTENUATED our election cycles have gotten.

They're acting like the Maine primary was a race between Platner and Mills only and it's too late for anyone else to jump in.

The deadline to REGISTER FOR IT is in MARCH!

Go out and recruit SOMEONE ELSE
