“Black Woman’s Equal Pay Day is how much a Black woman has to work into the new year to make what a white, non-Hispanic man made at the end of last year. So now we’re talking about seven months into the new year,” says Mississippi Black Women’s Roundtable Executive Director Cassandra Welchlin.

If Epstein were still alive, he would probably be a special envoy to elementary schools nationwide! If he hadn't died, Trump would probably have pardoned him! Although he has not pardoned Ghislaine Maxwell yet so maybe that's a bridge too far.

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

Isn't it great that an Adderall addicted dementia patient and a drunk former Fox News co-host have put our troops lives at risk to soothe Trump's bruised ego? #ProudBlue #USattackIran #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace #IranIsraelConflict #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice #TrumpWar #TrumpWarCriminal US Strikes Iran

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

So this week we’ve had a man impersonating an ICE agent tie up a woman and steal $1000; a man impersonating a police officer assassinate a top Democratic politician & her husband (and shoot another Democrat & his wife); and a man impersonating a king hold a military parade for his birthday

While Stephen Miller publishes the faces of the judges that struck down Trump’s unlawful tariffs, his own goons in ICE refuse to show theirs out of fear of being publicly identified. If our judges are brave enough to face MAGA threats with their faces showing, ICE should not hide behind masks.

Sadly I did not know this for the first 55 years of my life. They do not teach you this. This is absolutely true. And we should honor all of them this Memorial Day and always

fun fact from SEC Chairman Gary Gensler's resignation announcement 18% of tips/complaints that come to the SEC relate to crypto, even though the crypto market is less than 1% of all financial markets www.sec.gov/newsroom/pre...

I worked for a food bank, and one of their programs provided food packages to teachers, who would quietly place it in kids backpacks. They did this for kids they suspected would not have food over the weekend. Now they really won’t. I hate us.

The oligarchs just sit there hoarding wealth, buying homes for fun, and calling it “the market” when we can’t afford the basics just to survive. We made them rich buying their junk, and their big idea to fix society? Let us fight each other and starve. It's cheaper that way. #EatTheRich

It bears repeating so I'm going to keep repeating it: Republicans expect you and your family to pay for their tax cuts for billionaires. They expect you to pay with your Medicaid, social security, and a host of programs people rely on. To put it clearly: they expect us to pay with our lives.
