Health insurance costs jumped for workers & employers in 2025.

This will get worse if the GOP refuses to extend ACA subsidies.

Meanwhile, the seven largest health insurance companies made a combined $71B in profits in 2024.

Still not sure we need Medicare for All?

Trump has decimated funding for Medicaid, SNAP, and crucial agencies like FEMA and the CFPB.

Now, he's demanding his cronies at DOJ give him a ludicrous $230M in taxpayer funds as "compensation" for past investigations.

He's picking your pockets to line his own.

On Friday, I'm talking with a transit expert about the authority governors have to shift the final year of Bipartisan Infrastructure Bill funding away from highways, to EVs, transit, & pedestrians. Many governors do not know they have this authority! And this year is a crucial window!

Questions?

States Have More Power Than They Think to Fund Sustainable Transportation

States have the authority to fund trains, buses, bike lanes, and sidewalks with money that would otherwise be used to build more highways.

One person announced an actionable next step: BOYCOTT BLACK FRIDAY

Shouldn’t everyone who marched post that?

I’m just wondering. Just asking.

We are behind the scenes doing what we are doing - I just want to know what the visibility was about.

Gov. Pritzker: "Threatening to jail your political opponents—does that sound like the United States? Should we have a president who is threatening to jail his political opponents with no evidence of wrong doing?...I don't think so."

America is not feeling the full effect of the shutdown because so many people are working without pay.

While I respect their dedication (or fear of losing their jobs), that needs to stop.

All federal workers should refuse to work without pay. Give Congress 10 days to get its shit together, or

A doc from @jesscraven101.bsky.social with texts we can send to friends/family in places with important elections.

“Relational organizing” like this is more effective than any other form of GOTV! People trust friends and family & will listen to you over strangers.

A single ballot measure in California could determine the fate of our democracy. Get everyone you know in California to vote YES on 50 and turn their ballots in now.

Tell a friend. 📣📣

What better day to mail my YES on 50 ballot here in California than No Kings day?

These are the ways we express our power: we vote, we peacefully protest, we organize. We add our voices to the collective push towards justice and freedom.

And if enough of us do these things, we win.

It’s been a month since @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social was elected by an overwhelming majority. Speaker Johnson still has yet to swear her in, leaving the people of #AZ07 without a voice in Congress. Enough is enough. Swear. Her. In.

If you're a writer/other creator in the United States, consider creating an LLC for your business and then signing up for a local area Chamber of Commerce. Many of them have health insurance plans that pool their members and members of other CoCs to create insurance efficiencies relative to ACA.

Mayor Johnson's office confirms that he did, indeed, call for a general strike at the Chicago "No Kings" march when he said: “If my ancestors, as slaves, can lead the greatest general strike in the history of this country, taking it to the ultra-rich and big corporations, we can do it too!”

-A living wage

-The right to join a union
-The right to vote
-The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family

These are the foundations of real freedom.

The GOP is trying to con Americans into accepting a deal that will make their health care more expensive by fearmongering about health care for undocumented immigrants. Undocumented people aren’t eligible to enroll in Medicare and Medicaid. Don’t fall for their scam.

The Declaration of Independence specifies 27 grievances with King George III and Britain.

Donald Trump and his regime have committed at least 20 of those same offenses highlighted in yellow.
