Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.

White. Hot. Rage.

Schumer is delusional and thinks the right are “his friends and colleagues on the other side of the isle.” I can’t WAIT for @aoc.bsky.social to primary him.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Americans are grossly underreacting to everything that’s happening.
The chances of us even having another election, or an election where they honor the true results, appear to be dwindling by the day.

Okay but actually do something instead of just saying it 😭
Chris Murphy is saying what I’ve been screaming about for months. Better late than never. Now, Murphy needs to hammer this message home in an unrelenting fashion…and never stop.

The entire permanent staff of the Division of Environmental Health Science and Practice was laid off. This division addresses issues such as asthma and air pollution, climate change and health, childhood lead poisoning, and cancer clusters.

This is so scary and I’m shocked at the lack of urgency from the democrats
Not sure if this has been shared here yet, but this is video of Rumeysa Ozturk's arrest posted by WCVB. It's terrifying.

Everyone needs to stop calling them billionaires & call them robber barons. billionaire has a neutral connotation to many, the definition of robber baron is 'a person who has become rich through ruthless and unscrupulous business practices', that's what they are and that's what you should call them.

She did deserve it. Even if you think she didn’t - giving it to Jamie Lee Curtis for that particular role was stupid.

Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening.

People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book.

Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

I am disgusted that this is what the country has come to. Yet they get upset when we call MAGA racist. 😵‍💫

You continue to be such an inspiration and I’m disgusted that the Democratic Party doesn’t recognize that
It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.
