#socialservices funding for vulnerable, low income people in #New York and other Democratic led states. People will lose homes, jobs, and day care! thehill.com/homenews/sta...

Please share far and wide. Bring your signs and let's stand in solidarity with Renee and the people of Minneapolis.

FBI - now called the Secret Police - must share Minneapolis murder evidence with MN State Police. Secret police has no place in a democracy!! Always remember they will come after you next!

Chinese proverb says invisible red thread connects those destined to meet, despite the time, the place, despite the circumstances. The thread can be tightened or tangled, but never be broken. We good people are United together to fight evil, Fascism, & Trump regime. We will win and save our nation!

Happy that NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani appointed tenant organizer Cea Weaver as Director of Mayor’s Office to Protect Tenants.She has helped millions of NY renters by passing Protection Act! I stand by her 100% & will not let far right extremists/real estate moguls hurt her!

HuffPost has obtained a video of a physician trying to give medical care to the woman shot and killed by ICE agents today, and not being allowed to go near her.

The ICE agents claim there are medics on site, but witnesses scream that there are no medics present.

Watch the three angles of the ICE agent shooting and killing an unarmed U.S. citizen in Minneapolis, slowed down and zoomed in. The video shows the shooters were behind her door at her 8 o’clock position. That’s it. That’s enough!This was a cold-blooded murder.

Trump & RFK now say that red meat, butter, beef tallow, and whole milk are good for you!!! I am going tonight to McDonald’s and order 3 whoppers cooked in extra butter! Was Trump regime paid off by the beef and dairy industry?

It’s the 4th day of #Kwanzaa, and today’s principle is Cooperative Economics. Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics) (oo-JAH-mah): A business owned and run by its members (users, workers, customers) to meet common economic, social, or cultural needs.

Student loans is a racket, benefiting investors at expense of students.Trump will begin seizing pay of people in default on their student loans in January, marking first wave of new wage garnishments since 2020.Irony of billionaire being in charge of collecting pennies from debtors.

I just finished watching #Relay on #Netflix! Excellent #thriller! A lot of truth to this movie! Big corporations have surveillance and spying operations to stop #whistleblowers. I wonder whether #Epstein’s suicide was staged by nefarious forces to protect the rich and powerful.

It appears it is not safe to travel by plane to Mexico, Central America, Caribbean, Puerto RIco, and South America due to impending US military attacks. Exercise extreme caution.

US will no longer commemorate World Aids Day! State department has told employees and grant recipients to not publicly promote or mark event on December 1. Horrible and disgusting! US must not abandon its role in global disease prevention.

National guard shooting will likely make Trump crack down even harder. Attack makes troops’ DC exit less likely & justify rightwing narratives.Suspected shooter worked with CIA-backed military units in Afghanistan.Will this be a pretext for martial law and further repression?
