A DoorDash driver did not pose a threat when we was shot in the back by ICE goons. They then refused to render aid and so a local police officer had to intervene and find the bullet hole. The bullet is still in his back after a day & they didn't give him medication for the pain. Sadistic monsters.

100 companies are responsible for 71% of global emissions. They told YOU to recycle better while they polluted more. Don't fall for it. Hold systems accountable. #ClimateCrisis

There it is. While you struggle to afford groceries, or find any that are edible, and pay thousands more every year in gas, rent, utilities, childcare, and healthcare, they are laughing all the way to the bank.

This is outrageous. A free press cannot function under constant threats and retaliation from the government. Reporters must be free to hold those in power accountable — without fear of retribution. The assault on the free press must end!

Trump said he’s going to allow 300 metric tons of beef to enter our country without tariffs, but he won’t tell us where it’s coming from. 🤔 Why “ground” beef specifically?

Of course, no educated individual would ever suggest that the U.S. is a functioning democracy any longer. You’d have to look at North Korea to see a nation as indescribably corrupt as America.

Today, I voted YES to release the names of Members of Congress who used taxpayer dollars to settle sexual misconduct and other misconduct cases in Congress. No more abuses of power and no more hiding behind a system that shields perpetrators. We will always fight for justice for survivors—period.

Sister Leticia Ugboaja, a Catholic nun & registered nurse was walking to Our Lady of Sorrows church dressed in her habit, in McAllen, Texas when she was abducted by out of control #ICE officers. Q: What kind of depraved monsters would detain a nun? A: Evil, racist, Trumpster trash! #ICELawlessness

He’s threatening to sue the media over pool coverage. What an unbelievable, petulant manchild. Everyone knew he was going to fuck up the reflecting pool. He fucked up the reflecting pool, and now he’s invented vandals (despite the fact that the pool is under 24/7 video surveillance) to blame.

Sen. @warren.senate.gov & Sen. Moreno announce a bipartisan plan to save Social Security, projected to see a huge benefits cut in 6 years. The cornerstone: lifting the FICA tax cap so the wealthiest pay the same % as those making under $184.5K per year (the current cap level).

When a governor has to stand up and say “there’s no money to feed hungry kids” — while the same administration funds a UFC arena and a $600M ballroom — something has gone deeply wrong. These aren’t budget abstractions. These are kids going hungry. #RepublicansStarveChildren

I haven't been this impressed with a candidate in a l-o-n-g time. If @jamestalarico.bsky.social is the future of the Democratic Party, we are in VERY good shape.

When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.

Two pages. The same story. SNAP cuts: American children are losing food assistance and going hungry. USAID gutted: Children overseas are dying after humanitarian aid was cut. History won’t remember the excuses. It’ll remember who let children suffer. #RepublicansStarveChildren

The reason Obama used water from the river for the reflecting pool and not city water is because city water is treated with orthophosphates, which is food for algae, causing massive blooms that produce cyanotoxins that kill wildlife.
