Crying because Chewy just refunded me $200 for Loki’s veterinary diet food that was delivered the day before he died with their deepest condolences for losing him. They aren’t even making me return it. Going to donate it to a cat who needs it. 🥺

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens.
We are.
500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term.
Our tally is almost certainly an undercount.

They warned us Mamdani would impose Sharia law. Instead, he unleashed the real threat: line dancing in Bryant Park.

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor.
This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why.
Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

What pisses me off about the Abdul El-Sayed discourse is that he is treated as a radical, despite being an extremely normal progressive.
There is little meaningful differences between him & Elizabeth Warren on policy, but because he’s Muslim, Abdul is treated as if he’s DSA.

Success this time comes down to two things: did we drive the largest early vote in the history of the republic, and did we recruit and train a grassroots force capable of repelling Trump’s sabotage? #NoKings

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020. — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%.
It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low.
We must unrig the system.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.

Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.
Big Tech buys off Congress. No action on AI safety.
