And if they had won? We would have Trump in 2028! Why? Because corporate, neoliberal Democrats and their failure to help the working middle class are a huge reason why Trump was elected, TWICE. People, please! We must move forward with more progressive candidates in the next election !!!
200 brochures folded up and ready for the @healthcareforallor.bsky.social town hall tonight!! @portlanddsa.bsky.social
It was a beautiful day knocking doors for Dr. Tammy Carpenter who is running for House District 27 in Oregon! I support Tammy because she is a democratic socialist who wants to tax the rich to pay for universal health care, better schools and environmental protection.
"Universal health coverage is not merely a technical goal to be achieved; it is primarily a moral imperative for societies that wish to call themselves just." —Pope Leo XIV
Americans don’t want war.
We want healthcare.
We want good education for all, free of debt.
We want everyone to have housing.
We want livable wages.
The ruling class gets rich off war while the working class dies.

Of the $5 trillion spent by the United States on health care in 2023, roughly 70% was funded by taxpayer money.
Overall, shareholder payouts increased 315% between 2001 and 2022 — a trend driven in part by 19 health care companies on the S&P 500 that accounted for 80% of the total payouts.
More of our taxpayer dollars hard at work, lining the pockets of healthcare shareholders 😵💫🤬.
New study out from Yale shows that over the past 20 years, health care companies spent 95% of their net income on shareholder payouts, totaling up to $2.6 trillion.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:
DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.
ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.
REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".
It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.
EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.
Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)
Happy birthday to my favorite news organization of all time. Thank you Amy and Juan for providing the daily War & Peace report. You are truly a light in the darkness.
Scientists think there's a decent chance that, if global temps rise 2 degrees above pre-industrial levels, it could trigger a cascade of tipping points that further accelerate warming, up to 5 or 6 degrees.
AKA: "A cluster of abrupt shifts occur in ESMs [Earth system models] at 1.5 to 2ºC."
Joining positive political movements in the city that I live has been the one thing giving me hope. #ThinkGloballyActLocally
🚨NEWS: Trump is firing specific inspectors general whose offices have investigated Elon Musk’s companies and their business matters with the government.
Inspectors general are independent nonpartisan appointees who audit spending and investigate fraud.
Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.
You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.
C.D.C. Posts, Then Deletes, Data on Bird Flu Spread Between Cats and People The data, which appeared fleetingly online on Wednesday, confirmed transmission in two households. Scientists called on the agency to release the full report.
Wow. So not only were several bird flu studies left out of today’s CDC Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, some data on bird flu briefly appeared in the online report and then was quickly removed.
