The continually rising cost of housing (usually close to 40%-50% of income), and stagnated wages. The cost of healthcare and insurance is also a big problem.

Trump's 'Big Brutal Bill' will give ICE a larger operating budget than the entire U.S. Marine Corps.

So this is basically a workaround for Trump to violate the Posse Comitatus Act, which bans the military from civilian law enforcement.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

—Harry Truman, 1952

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?

Sometimes in life you just need to stop and yell in a basket on the sidewalk. Photo from my collection, no date/info.

The LA Dodger’s organization refused entry to ICE agents attempting to enter the stadium’s parking lot. A spokesperson for Newsom’s office blasted ICE for their presence there, suggesting that they intended to intimidate people and strike fear into a fanbase that has a significant Latinx population.

Donald Trump cannot be trusted to lead America into war. He is unaccountable to America. He is lawless. He only seeks conflict to cover up for his failures. Congress must step up and reassert its power. No more forever wars.

Earlier this month, the Defense Department told transgender service members to choose whether they would voluntarily or involuntarily separate from the military.

Four trans service members, now in the process of separating, said their decisions don't feel voluntary at all.

Disabled people putting their literal bodies on the line to protest Medicaid cuts.

Why? Because few others will fight for them.

Because these cuts will end lives.

Wouldn’t it be great if instead of fighting Medicaid cuts, the Dems fought for Universal Healthcare?

Stop the cuts (obviously) but go further.

Universal healthcare would make the biggest difference in the health of the nation.

Not eliminating food dye. Not “healthy diet”. Give people healthcare

73% of mothers with kids under 18 are in the workforce. More than flowers or brunch, working moms need:

-Paid family leave
-Equal pay
-Universal childcare

(But get your mom flowers, too)
