Trump is enjoying any distractions away from Epstein. Don’t let up on it. The fact that people require the files from a deceased person to believe what happened to a thousand living women reveals everything about whose voices they value and whose they don’t. 🔄

This is the chemo pill I take. 😫
Cancer drug Revlimid is one of the bestselling pharmaceutical products of all time, with total sales of over $100 billion.
It’s also extraordinarily expensive, costing nearly $1,000 for each pill, even though that pill costs just 25 cents to make.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, Long a Defender of States’ Rights, Embraces Trump’s Push to Expand Presidential Power
Defending Texas sovereignty has been central to Abbott’s political identity. Yet he has helped Trump erode states’ authority over elections, policing and deploying the National Guard.

This Thanksgiving, I'm thinking of our neighbors with an empty seat at the dinner table.
Those with loved ones abducted & deported from their families.
Those we lost due to gun violence, mass incarceration, & more.
A more just America is possible, if we fight for it.

When wages don’t cover basic needs, taxpayers end up subsidizing the gap while corporations profit. Supporting workers with fair pay isn’t radical, it’s responsible economic policy.

i just read something about grief from C.S. Lewis and his book, “A Grief Observed”
basically, when someone you love dies, it isn’t just them that you miss, but the parts of yourself that person brought out of you that can never be brought out again.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.
