The reason people think the Democratic Party doesn't actually stand for anything is because it doesn't.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Why?

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.

I will never understand the comments across social media that are cheering on the potential starvation of roughly 42 million people that depend on SNAP.

What a vile country.

NO ONE deserves to be hungry.

My quote of the day

Weakness is what brings ignorance, cheapness, racism, homophobia, desperation, cruelty, brutality, all these things that will keep a society chained to the ground, one foot nailed to the floor.

A reminder that losing SNAP will be particularly devastating to those whose disabilities require them to have special diets.

The disability tax is real.

Everything costs more when you’re sick, and special diets are no exception.

Boost & donate to mutual aid. People need help.

It baffles me why the only person to articulate how absolutely bonkers the administration and its cronies are is @chrismurphyct.bsky.social but thank GOD we have him advocating for human rights because otherwise society would fall much sooner. Keep fighting the good fight, Chris. You make CT proud.
So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating.

When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.

Donald Trump just did something truly awful and is hoping you won't notice.

He fired all of the special education staff at the Department of Education.

While plant-based diets can be associated with benefits for health and the environment, social, economic and political challenges might impede any dietary changes.

MARCO SPRINGMANN assesses these challenges and proposes multi-component approaches to address them.

Tonight I learned that one of my heroes has died. I loved her and colleagues' "adventures" as a child and grew up to admire her scientific work for so many reasons. RIP Jane Goodall.

That's my senator ❤️! Totally agree, Chris!
Every major Democrat has millions in their campaign account. The threat to democracy is big enough that we need to be funding mobilization and messaging right now - not just banking money for the next election.

If we don't build right now, there might not be another election.
scoop: Sen Chris Murphy is donating 100k from his political fund to Indivisible — the latest in a series of donations he says total ~1m to progressive organizing groups taking on the Trump admin

Murphy said fellow Dems should take notes to “meet the moment”

Disability is not separate from humanity. It's a natural part of the human experience.

Often times, disabilities can be a part of natural genetic variation.

Celebrating our unique experiences makes us stronger, prepares us for a world full of differences, and promotes community and understanding.

We need to make it illegal for AI models to offer advertising. And, we need to really examine referral fees as well.

The last thing we need is to have algorithms designed to maximize revenue driving LLM output and interactions.

We need to have learned our lessons from algos in social media

Hitler started with deportations and then quickly realized they were too expensive and moved to gas chambers.

I want you all to keep that in the front of your minds.
REPORTER: Is the idea that if some illegal immigrants escapes, they get eaten by an alligator or a snake?

TRUMP: I guess that's the concept. This is not a nice business. I guess that's the concept.
