$300/875! Any support is greatly appreciated.

Losing hope that I'll be able to keep my home. Not sure I can raise the full $875 this month for rent. I'm scared of being on the streets again. Last time, I had to rely on an abusive man to protect me. Please help me not go back there. tamilove21 on Cash App, Venmo, and Paypal.

This made me giggle:

JD Vance can dismiss the Young Republicans as a college group chat.

But let's be clear: the group chat includes a State Senator, a Trump Admin official, and multiple Republican staffers — and some of the worst comments came from folks associated with Mike Johnson, Elise Stefanik, and Mike Lawler.

If you're a leftist you also need to listen

Time to be adults

Your "clear conscience" votes aren't doing anything but emboldening & empowering MAGA

If you wanna lose your right to protest, health care & gender expression?

Keep fucking up at the polls doing stupid shit like you did last November

Fellow whites, there are plenty of resources for us to educate ourselves and each other about this. When we think the POTUS can act like a monarch, then we won't be as upset over it as we should be, when it happens.*
*Spoiler alert: The POTUS should never act like a monarch.

I’d estimate something like 99% of white American adults have no clue how their government actually works—School House Rock stuff. Basic civics.

Yesterday, California adopted a law to raise the pay received by incarcerated firefighters when they’re fighting a fire from $1 to $7.25 per hour—meeting the federal minimum wage. Four other new laws also give new rights to incarcerated firefighters.

Hundreds of California state prisoners worked to put out this year's deadly Los Angeles wildfires, inspiring new laws that will improve their pay and open other opportunities.

Dear Lisa Murkowski,
You turned a blind eye to this regime. What is happening to your state is a tragedy. You need to shoulder the responsibility of inaction by the federal government with help for your state. There is no FEMA or anyone else coming to your aid. Is this making America great?

No idea how all these poor and working class people kidnapped by I.C.E can afford to fight for their freedom.

Everything costs money they don’t have: fines; fees; fuel for travel and, importantly, time away from daily paid labor—all costs tons of $$.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Institutional wisdom is something young first time candidates just do not have. And the way to get that is to run locally learn the ropes and move up through the ranks. Has Grant ever even worked on a campaign or volunteered? I mean if it was an issue of oyster knowledge he has that over Mills😜
