Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million.

Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals.

Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.

On this day in 1991 Anita Hill accused Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment. Few believed her claims then, not enough people believed Hillary Clinton in 2016 and too few listened to Kamala Harris in 2024. See a pattern? Believe women, burn the patriarchy.

Did people actually believe Trump during his campaign, or did they just love the permission he gave them to be racist?

Trump on loop: “They’re stealing your jobs.”

If that were true, why aren’t Americans lining up to take those so-called “stolen” jobs?

Every Trump voter needs to see this.

Great news! 24,000 donors have raised over $567,000 within 24 hrs of Letitia James’ indictment. Mamdani also summoned what is known as the sisterhood of Black elected officials in NYC to lend their support. I look forward to her victory. ❤️‍🔥 #Pinks #SheShed

Is it just me, or does it seem the press is actually and completely terrified to report about Donald Trump's physical and mental health the way it would have if anyone else were president?

When ICE agents use excessive force and flout state laws, why are they not being arrested on the spot? Why are the state and cities not telling their troopers and police to watch what is happening and intervene when necessary to protect their citizens.

If you’re in El Paso, home to Ft. Bliss and Biggs Field, and need food assistance, the Mustard Seed Cafe (where I volunteered) provides hot fresh food Wed-Friday. No questions asked. It’s main purpose was providing meals in a restaurant and dignified setting for unhoused, but is now for all… free.

It’s heartbreaking that the richest country in the world needs food banks to feed its people but it’s unbelievable that our billionaire politicians have forced our military to feed themselves and their families from food banks.

A federal judge has extended a consent decree (the Castañon Nava consent decree) that limits ICE’s ability to arrest people without warrants or probable cause.

The decree remains in force until February 2, 2026.👇
