- At @thirdactorg.bsky.social some of us are old enough to remember when Richard Nixon almost lost his job as veep for a $16,000 slush fund and the gift of a cocker spaniel puppy. I guess with inflation we’ve gotten to a $400 million plane…

- Reposted by Mona JonesLet’s clear something up: SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — the LARGEST federal program to fight hunger in the country! It blows my mind that the party that touts its “Christian values” is the same party that is SET on taking food from the hungry.
- Reposted by Mona JonesIf Trump's "big, beautiful" reconciliation bill goes through, 13.7 million people will lose their health insurance & even more will become underinsured. Make no mistake, thousands of low-income & working class Americans will die unnecessarily if it passes. We must not allow it.

- I've been busy turning 67 -- has Brian Johnson, aka The Liver King (lunatic proponent of eating raw meat), been given a job at HHS yet? Check him out on Netflix, I promise you'll regret it.

- Reposted by Mona Jonesit’s absolutely intentional. federal employment was one of the largest drivers of the growing black middle class, especially post jim crow
- Reposted by Mona JonesHey look on the bright side, at least “I’ll keep the $400 million plane after I leave office” is an admission he’ll leave office
- yep
- Reposted by Mona JonesHas anyone asked the Department of Homeland Security why the agents it hires for ICE, HSI, etc. are so cowardly, weak and out-of-shape that a) they won't even show their faces in public and b) they need to pretend they were "assaulted" by two woman members of Congress, one of whom is 80 years old?
- I retired 3 years ago after 35 proud years with the USPS. Service is in the name and it's covered in the Constitution. It was never meant to be run as a business and Americans will miss USPS after it's dismantled and destroyed.

- Reposted by Mona JonesIn New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.
- Omg. I hate these people so much! I had actually given space in my life to "wellness" proponents. I'm now looking for any reason to yeet each one of these fuckers into the stratosphere.
- These people really want kids sick. Hepatitis B is not just a “sexually transmitted and IV drug user disease” like Means claims here. If she had ever completed medical training she might know that up to 40% of HepB infections are actually acquired in childhood & kill thousands of Americans per year.

- So weird.
- Reposted by Mona JonesHearing that this was definitely temporary. Gallego and Warner in particular are in deep negotiations to make a deal with Republicans to move this stablecoin bill forward, while Trump and his family corruptly profit from stablecoins. If you're a constituent, Gallego and Warner need calling.
- Reposted by Mona JonesYour daily reminder that it is our judicial system that decides if someone is a criminal, not the criminal President or his minions in the executive branch.

Textile preservation/restoration is important work that needs funding - you may not think of it as such but textiles are an important part of history that often goes unpreserved
- Reposted by Mona JonesI keep my head down and turn out good work and I just barely made rent this month, but a lady calls a kid the n-word at a playground and she raises a half-million dollars in a week. I don't get the world, and I don't like it. We are surrounded by rotten dogshit assholes and they're thriving.
