Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.

Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.

Folks, if you are hungry, please contact your local Sikh gurdwara. Or just show up for langar, which most gurdwaras do several times a week, for a free meal. Lots also do weekly or monthly drives giving out groceries.

No conversion necessary. Feeding anyone who is hungry is a key part of Sikhism.
A lady on TikTok has been calling churches pretending to be a mother with a baby who needs formula and several churches turned her away. But wouldn’t you know that when she called a Mosque (Islamic Center of Charlotte) they immediately said yes.

“Trump died on December 8, three weeks before Christmas. The news broke during evening programming. Within three hours, coverage had settled into rhythm: the same footage, the same talking heads, the same speculation. No one yet understood what his death would reveal.”

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!

Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

We made it easy at boycottspotify.com.

@warren.senate.gov do not give into the Republicans. If you vote to open the government without the healthcare subsidies, all trust shown yesterday in the party will be lost. And Democrats will be blamed for not holding out. DO NOT CAVE.

Nightmare fuel, if you are paying attention.
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation—the ocean system that stabilizes Earth’s climate—is weakening as global warming melts Greenland and freshens the seas. Its collapse could flood coasts and trigger mass migration. Civilization hangs in the balance.

This is hilarious. And a brilliant move to gift Trump with a shiny gold crown, knowing everything about that will appeal to his ego, while the subtleties of the message will go right over his very dense head.

This!
The Trump administration is a fascist administration, but the United States is not yet a fascist state.

Total state capture takes time. Every obstacle we can present as individuals, groups, communities, and institutions helps slow that process.

Everything we do to resist matters. It ALL matters.

Cambridge Analytica ringing any bells?

How about the co-opting of major news outlets by a handful of oligarchs who were more than happy to trade "liberty, and justice for all" in exchange for massive tax breaks?
