Democrats, please take note. You don’t have to bend the knee to the Israel lobby to win an election. Zohran Mamdani just did it. You just have to stand for something. That’s what people want. Have a damn backbone.

As people get older, hangovers tend to get worse because the body handles alcohol less efficiently. The liver slows down and produces fewer enzymes, so toxic byproducts like acetaldehyde, the main cause of hangover symptoms, linger longer in the body.

The problem is not the single mother getting $9/day in food stamps. The problem is billionaires who pay wages so low that working families need food stamps

SNAP not only helps families eat but it’s good for the economy - every SNAP dollar means $1.50-$1.80 of economic activity

This is an excellent SNAP explainer by @drjessicaknurick.bsky.social

There is clear statistic that says if even 3.5% of the population pushes back against authoritarianism, it cannot take hold. DO NOT assume that you are powerless. We have the ability to fight back in this moment. SPEAK UP. MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD. STAY LOUD, and STAY LIFTED.

Yeah, Republicans, it's the damn guns.

You can deny it, but that's simply the truth.

And if you won't commit to doing anything about it, then yeah, it's you too.

We have a brutal, sickening, heartbreaking gun problem in America—and you’re it.

A country where one person can become this rich should have zero homelessness, zero hunger, and the best education.

Our current reality is not normal. We do not have to accept it.

14 million children in the US are hungry. Instead of feeding our children, our tax dollars are going to starving Gaza’s children. The siege and blockade of would not be possible if you weren’t paying it.

We have to fight for a world that is not this evil and cruel.

It’s worse than “Gaza is being starved and destroyed and no one cares.” It’s that hundreds of millions *do* care and are powerless to stop it. We need a world where that can never happen, where the masses actually have political power.

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.

America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.

Watch and share his message.

It’s a shared psychosis… @bandylee.bsky.social talks about how social contagion spreads fear, misinformation and harmful behaviors in emotionally charged settings. The good news is it can also be used for good - promoting empathy and cooperation.
