every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO

this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

The first time he’s told the truth.

If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

@schumer.senate.gov @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social don't cave to the Republicans on the shutdown. You will survive. We came out in force and supported Dems this past Tuesday. We'll continue to do so if you hold the line. Protect healthcare, protect the people.

After their resounding victory in Tuesday’s elections, the Democrats had no choice but to surrender.

Spread the word to drive attention and support!

I am sincerely moved by Sen. Van Hollen. Sometimes Members of Congress do stuff that is brave. I didn’t say this while he was there, but it kind of reminded me of Rep. Leo Ryan in 1978.

We need more MOCs to show the same spine for their constituents. We do NOT accept our neighbors being disappeared

Thank you, Senator!

Sign up for the General Strike. We need 3.5% of the working US population, 11 million people, to join.

No word jambalaya here! This Vet from the Louisiana Bayou is 🌶️🔥

I felt uneasy reading the highlights from Trump’s speech last night and here’s why -

I know intelligent, well-off business people in the UK who believe Trump is good for the USA and the world.

Last night, it really hit me how seductive his vision might seem to them. (Bear with me...)

Aww, don't disrespect Sloth like that!

Accurate

If the market continues to trend down, and the Atlanta Fed turns out to be right, the midterms will be very interesting.

The battle between republican self preservation and MAGA will be intense

Complete batshit lunacy on the president's Truth Social account. Yes, he really posted this.

MoonPie Twitter post: Effective immediately To whom it may concern: Thanks to recent geographical updates, we are excited to announce that the land mass previously known as Florida will now be referred to as MoonPieTown. "But Florida is a state," you say. No, Florida was a state. Now it's MoonPie Town. We can just do this now! Please continue to enjoy our delicious marshmallow sandwiches and don't think too much about it :) MoonPie

MoonPie renaming Florida is hands down the best retitling we’ve gotten out of this entire mess.

Tryna strike a chord and it's probably A minorrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Remember when ‘strategery’ and ‘potatoe’ were the high bar of moron in Washington? Sure would like to return to those days right now.

I appreciate all of the political posts, but I miss seeing the cat posts and upstate NY posts in my feed.

Two panel comic, top panel: mouse says to elephant “everyone tries to step on me” elephant replies “they’re just jealous bc you’re so cute & fun” bottom panel: mouse says “you would never step on me.” elephant says “I know. I’m cute and fun too”

🚨🚨🚨
The tuberculosis outbreak has expanded from Kansas to Ohio.

Senate Democrats are considering voting NO or delaying every Trump nominee as retaliation for his overreach on ending USAID.

Smash the RT if you SUPPORT this plan. ZERO votes from Democrats!!

One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it *should* be about 10%.

The actual number is less than 1%.

Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.

We need Rob Bonta, Letitia James and other Blue State AGs to file suit based on privacy protections for their constituents

These are the clowns Congress refuses to stop.

A call to action!
