- Reposted by Michael C. YoungI think babies dying in their sleep is bad, and research to prevent babies from dying in their sleep is good. Sorry to get so partisan, and I apologize for offending any pro-life people when I say that babies suddenly dying in preventable ways is bad, but that's how I feel.

- Reposted by Michael C. YoungOne of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

The Nazis are back to kill as many Americans as they can, AGAIN, and if you're not on board with making an example out of them, you're out of your mind.
- Reposted by Michael C. YoungWe’re turning the massive energy from the Hands Off! protests towards one of our biggest fights yet: Stopping the GOP reconciliation plan that guts Medicaid, crushes SNAP, and shovels trillions of dollars to billionaires. To win, we need to be louder and more organized than ever before.
- #NoKings in Northern Colorado! Good to see momentum from the #HandsOff protests rolling across the sky like thunder.

- Reposted by Michael C. YoungRepublicans in Congress are hoping you won’t pay attention to them for the next 36 hours. Why? Because they're pushing through their unpopular plan that gives tax handouts to billionaires and billionaire corporations and leaves everyone else in the dirt. youtube.com/shorts/RZ-nl...

KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

- Reposted by Michael C. YoungStrongly endorsed. I don't care what Khalil said. What matters most here is the state punished him, without charge or trial, for speech. They disappeared him like in the sort of authoritarian country America used to criticize. Anyone adjudicating the content of his speech is missing the point.
- The detention of Mahmoud Khalil puts all Americans fundamental rights at risk. And if you can’t see that because you oppose his politics, well that’s exactly the reaction Trump and his cronies are counting on. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
- I don't usually watch the stock market all that closely, but... it's a very strange time here in America. Are we great again yet?
