The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.
New York does not miss. The bleach did it for me. 😭
Never forget this: Working people outnumber the billionaires and CEOs by a huge margin. If workers stand together, they will win. Solidarity.

Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.
I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable
A sea turtle surfacing by a MASSIVE school of rays near Clearwater, Florida a couple days ago. Another post into the BluSky void. Maybe 2 or 3 people will see this one and my time won't have been wasted. I'll keep trying a little longer. #nature #animals #amazing #wildlife #awesome #ocean
This flower is called "Queen of the Night." It blossoms only at night once a year.
This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4
Ditto.
My kids and I used to joke that when the elevator stopped on a floor and no one was there, ghosts were getting on and off. Weird. Someone just came in and stood right where I am. Each time I try to leave some force bars my way. Now my floor never arrives. How long have I been riding?
The only announcement I want to hear from him is that he's dead.
Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.
Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.

I'm still waiting for the relentless onslaught of media demands for a press conference and calls to resign.
Jill Stein and Cornel West both disgust me — such goddamn, self-serving hypocrites.
Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival
WTF are all you commie libs talking about? He looks great!!
"The lunatics are running the asylum."
Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
giuliani is gonna sue the hell out of whoever painted a tunnel on that brick wall
does Israel even claim anybody on their side is dying? every day its “17 Palestinians killed while lined up to see a pediatrician”. there are no battles, no skirmishes, there is no resistance, just routine drone strikes whenever Israel gets bored.

One of my favorite films.
Giuliani being in the news has reminded me of this tiny sliver of pure joy. Yes, I know you've seen it before. See it again. www.youtube.com/shorts/UPOrB...
The police version of the crash, as relayed by a local Manchester reporter, is unsurprisingly quite different from what Giuliani's spokesman says. The whole thing is even more murky now, however. manchester.inklink.news/rudy-giulian...
Imagine security cam footage of Giuliani's car accident comes out. You see him screaming for 5 solid minutes at a mannequin in a window before staggering into his car and backing up directly into oncoming traffic, etc

Brilliant
Taken an hour ago. Healthy and fit as ever.
Did someone need a baby goat video?? 😊 #bluesky #nature #animals
Remember when Hillary coughed and the media were practically writing her obituary?
Pritzker: "We don't want troops on the streets of American cities. That's un-American and frankly the president ought to know better. This one doesn't seem to. He hasn't read any books. He doesn't seem to understand the Constitution or the laws."
😆
Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.
He obviously knows where he’s going.
I originally intended this to be a preliminary sketch for a larger piece. But after living with it for a few days I actually like it as is - scrappiness and everything #watercolor #watercolorsketch #watercolorpainting #watercolorcityscape #cityscape
He’s providing them with valuable mulching experience though.
Helen Levitt #botd was a major photographer of the 20th century who caught fleeting moments of surpassing lyricism, mystery and quiet drama on the streets of her native New York...
If I didn't know better, I'd think a majority of Americans think billionaires should be able to destroy millions of people through crime, be able to rape children and be above the law, destroy law, science, health care, lie with impunity and murder millions. I think it's hilarious. What about you?
Good night 🌙 and….
Let that sink in.
I know I’m an actor and everything but I don’t give a fuck, I’m not standing around for anything longer than 30 seconds for an ovation at Cannes. Anything longer than that is taking the piss, brev. You can congratulate me by letting me go outside after the screening and having a smoke.
What we think serial killers look like vs what they actually look like:
Just saw someone refer to Cheryl Hines as The Marvelous Mrs. Measles and 💀💀💀💀💀💀
I just watched the last season, which was my first. Everyone was was so talented and so nice! It was lovely
Question: Why did US put big tariffs on India despite major national interest in cultivating a strategic counterweight to China and trying to isolate Russia? Answer: Because the US president lied that he fixed India-Pakistan and India wouldn’t go along with the lie. (Seriously, that’s the answer)
In a national poll, 9 out of 10 American flags prefer Governor Gavin Christopher Newsom.

I’m going to say this louder this time: if you are lying about having a high-risk condition to get a Covid vaccine, all good, do what you want to do BUT show some actual goddamn respect for people who *actually* have that condition and start masking.
Fixed it ;)

Television legend Stephen Colbert has just signed a $13.5 million deal with Netflix for a 7-episode series.
Remove RFK Jr for dereliction of duties. Immediately.
Americans are stupid AF. And the 40yr GOP War on Public Education is paying off! "Keep 'em Poor, Sick and Stupid, and they will vote GOP every time."
For every Rainbow they remove, we should replace with 🌈🌈🌈 of them.🌈
Imagine being this hateful. Florida should spend more money on its education system and less on trying to marginalize those who are marginalized.
Long lost? I watched it on streaming last year
This crime at Social Security might amount to the biggest data theft in human history. Committed by a government against its own citizens. I don’t think anyone has begun to grasp the sheer scale of corruption and institutional destruction that has occurred in the last few months. Era-defining.
This is never going away, is it?
No matter what @MarshaBlackburn keeps saying, it’s not criminals they’re targeting. www.cnn.com/2025/08/30/u...
RFK Jr. likes to claim that thimerosal in childhood vaccines causes autism spectrum disorder (ASD). So I wonder if he’d like to explain how the rates of ASD diagnoses in the U.S. have kept going up when thimerosal was removed from all childhood vaccines in 2001?
I get that
Why do you appreciate unions? I’ll start: Weekends off Paid vacations Work breaks Sick leave Paid holidays No child labor Safer working conditions Health care and retirement benefits

“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.
At least SOME countries recognize the value of NATURE and all its offerings.

Won't be Musk tho, It'll be Johnson. That bitch sold his soul.
This firefighter arrived in the US at age 4, has been here for 19 years, was on track to legal status, and was on a crew trying to contain a major blaze (in Washington state, vs Oregon, fwiw.) h/t @joshuajfriedman.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
I’ve heard from a couple of messaging strategists now that people shouldn’t post so much about COVID19 vaccines because it’s “divisive”. I am here to say that I do not give a damn what is popular. I will never ignore scientific evidence for the sake of expediency, and neither should anyone else.
Gotta hand it to the artist.
"RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy...it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism." Were he not a Kennedy...and wealthy...he'd likely be living his life out in a mental institution. Diagnosis: Dumb-Fuckery.
Jones: I want to bring theology into this because you have all these people that want to give thoughts and prayers. But I was a minister, and that is a form of theological malpractice—when you pray for something you have the power to change.
This is great news! 😊 #bluesky #animals #nature
Maybe ICE shouldn’t have lowered their standards for new recruits.
of course he’s not dead, i know you’re disappointed, but take heart, he might be in incredible pain
