Footloose and finding freedom, Scientist at heart

@offdxan It is still ridiculous that people in those jobs have to depend on tips. Their paycheck should PAY THEM. The money still comes from the customer but stops being dependent on their whims.

[Erin Creech @ErinCreecher4]

@EricLDaugh That is not what is happening. Stop lying.

Look, I know the constant talk of government waste and border chaos hits home for a lot of folks who’ve worked hard their whole lives only to see prices skyrocket and jobs feel insecure. Speaker Johnson’s post paints Democrats as the villains pushing for ‘free healthcare for illegal aliens,’ but that’s a clever distortion designed to rile you up. In truth, federal law bars undocumented immigrants from most public benefits, including ACA subsidies; what Democrats advocate for are targeted funds for emergency care and public health that benefit entire communities, preventing disease spread that could affect your family too. His ‘clean’ CR? It might sound simple, but it freezes spending at levels that don’t address inflation’s bite on Social Security or veteran services, setting up another crisis down the road. We can agree shutdowns are bad for everyone, so why not push for compromise instead of blame?

This isn’t about left versus right; it’s about bullies in power using fear to distract from their own failures to deliver real relief. Imagine a government that works for you, not against you. Call Congress at 202-224-3121 today and urge them to craft a bipartisan CR that secures our future without the partisan poison. Your voice matters more than you think.

@SpeakerJohnson Mike, cut the act. There’s no “free health care for illegals” and no $1.4T jackpot. The real ask is about $350B over a decade to keep premiums from doubling for working Americans. You handed trillions to the rich but cry poor when it’s about health care for regular folks.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like. https://t.co/uts7JpJZzN

These numbers do not lie, even though the President may try to. 

Trump’s budget makes our community less affordable, less safe, and less free. 

I'll keep fighting like hell every day to protect Hudson Valley families from ANYONE who would do us harm.

While we’re banning books…

Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.

Be. Like. Finland.

@kevinbacon @kyrasedgwick How you lean on him is so sweet.

Folks, birthright citizenship isn't just some interpretation of a few weirdly phrased passages in the 14th Amendment. We had birthright citizenship BEFORE the 14th Amendment. It's actually one of the oldest and most fundamental principles of American law. 1/

The stories of federal Indian boarding school survivors are living history that must be preserved. Today, I announced new agreements and funding commitments to preserve these survivor stories and experiences and share them with the world. https://t.co/Xq9WGkaDXS

BREAKING: In an unprecedented move, more than 75 Nobel Prize winners have signed a letter urging senators not to confirm Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as head of the Department of Health and Human Services.

It's the first time in history that Nobel laureates have come together to oppose a Cabinet choice.

The Nazis didn't just seize power - they were voted in

It's hard to imagine, but there was a time when Hitler was a name on a ballot in a democratic election

He was openly fascist & anti-semitic, but people still chose to vote for him

Here's how it all happened (thread 🧵)

@BaronDestructo @thosegiants @BonifaceOption I met him briefly at DragonCon and he was so kind to everyone.

At a Christmas concert and the Christmas Song was changed to “dressed up like little nomes “ and I thought… how nice.

A new study from the London School of Economics says 50 years of tax cuts in the U.S. — which promised to “trickle down” and eventually boost jobs and income for everyone — have only helped one group: the rich.

If you voted for Donald, don’t you dare thank a veteran for their service today. You voted to eliminate VA Hospitals & Clinics, to slash benefits for disabled Veterans, & to eliminate Veteran jobs in the federal workforce. You’re not welcome for our service. #VeteransDay

[John Fugelsang @JohnFugelsang]

As a Christian, I remind you that
Jesus was a gun loving nationalist
who opposed
abortion,
liberals,
immigration,
labor unions
and gay rights
Oh wait, did I say Jesus?

Sorry, I meant Hitler.
Jesus did none of that.
That was all part of Hitler’s agenda.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

To recap, the Republican Party has opposed:

-Paid sick leave
-Paid family & medical leave
-Universal childcare
-Universal pre-K
-Tax increases on corporations & the rich
-The expanded Child Tax Credit
-Student debt relief

Doesn't sound like the party of the working class to me.
