Jerk chicken and oxtail combo. They only come in styrofoam boxes, and thats how you know what's up. Also, clear cream soda is superior, change my mind.

We must continue the work to abolish ICE. But right now, Congress can stop ICE’s violent reign of terror. Tell them to do it today: (202) 224-3121

Lights coming on in Sussex Street: a favourite place in Cambridge, mixed media work (sold at a Cambridge Drawing Society exhibition). Buildings delightfully designed by architect E.R.Barrow in the 1920s and '30s. Green pantiles particularly effective. #art #mixedmedia #cambridge

Another Cambridge street painting. I think these old views of people dressed up and thronging the streets in celebration of their exams being over are a bit of an antidote to what's going on now (original sold a long time ago). Direct watercolour no predrawing. #art #watercolour #mayweek

“There’s never been a moment when someone’s like ‘oh, I didn’t want to let you know I really want universal child care.’ … When you say ‘I’m a moderate,’ or ‘I’m a centrist’ I immediately know you’re right-wing, and I also think you’re a coward.”

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information. Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

Putin's war in Ukraine shows where authoritarianism can lead: ~1.4 million casualties. An entire generation sacrificed for one man's imperialist delusions. We must not let any president drag us into war without congressional approval.

Excitingggg

This is bullshit! What are the charges? 📌 Border Patrol arrested two women for allegedly honking their car horn to alert others of the agents’ presence

Why would Jeffrey Epstein kill himself in jail if he had this much leverage of the one person who could give him a full pardon?

Next year, Americans will see the biggest jump in health insurance costs in 15 years. Meanwhile, the seven largest health insurance companies made a combined $71B in profits in 2024. It’s far past time for Medicare for All. Here’s what you need to know.

This will be very painful to hear but all the grifters who enabled Trump, supported him, and elevated him for sake of personal gain will fail up. Nothing will happen to any of them. It's just how the town works, folks. They all fail up down here. They all protect each other and their own.

Before anyone gets too carried away here.

Yes, sadly it is real.

"There's an expectation from everybody that the Dems are always going to swoop in and be the adults in the room and save the Republicans from the disastrous policies that they themselves put forward... It's so outside the realm of possibility to EVER imagine Republicans might do the right thing."

Shocking

Since January, Trump's Treasury has quietly gutted enforcement of the corporate alternative minimum tax — a huge boon for big business and wealthy investors. Meanwhile, he's led an all-out assault on Medicaid, SNAP, and other programs that help the poor. Reverse Robin Hood.
