Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Republicans control the House.

They could do something to lower Americans’ health care costs now, but they’re CHOOSING not to.

FL is moving forward w/ plan to end all childhood vaccine mandates. Starting with hepatitis B, chickenpox, and the bacteria causing meningitis and pneumonia. Then next year GOP FL legislature is expected to revisit 1977 law re: whooping cough, measles, polio, rubella, mumps, diphtheria, and tetanus.

New Fiserv CEO slams Bisignano: "Over the last few years, decisions to defer certain investments and cut certain costs improve margins in the short term, but are now limiting our ability to serve clients in a world-class way..."

Sounds a lot like what he's doing to our Social Security system.

Frank Bisignano, the former chief executive of the global payments and financial-technology company Fiserv, was forced to sell his stake in the company to join the Trump administration as head of the Social Security Administration.

I detest bill maher. I have wondered the same though. Some may think it’s okay to say it’s someone else’s turn to show up to protest this regime and fight, but it’s so wrongheaded.

AyJay @dcvet.bsky.social · 17h

Because black people already did their time. They bled for civil rights for everyone who is not a white male and who enjoys rights they did not have before 1964. They also voted in higher percentages for Harris, more than any other group, so Bill Maher can smoke a joint, get high and STFU. 🤨

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.

California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

She's a politician, running for Congress in Illinois. She attended a protest against ICE. ICE brutalized her, tear gassed her, body slammed her to the ground.

And now *she's* been arrested for 'hindering' ICE. She faces eight years in prison.

This is fascism.
