Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop. “If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???” Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month w/o it.

The success of Donald Trump, an asshole who became president, created a fallacy: Americans want an asshole as their president. This misapprehension greatly appeals, of course, to assholes, especially those in public office. motherjones.com/politics/202…
Maybe becoming president takes more than just being a dick

Did Ron DeSantis draw the wrong lesson from Trump?

That's right! Call your Member of Congress and ask them to support my bill with @BernieSanders to make school meals universal!

There's a bill in Congress right now not getting enough attention. The Universal School Meals Act would provide free breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a snack to all school children. This means the end of student meal debt, and fewer hungry kids. Congress must pass this bill.

Hi Fox News, it’s #SaturdayMorning! What are you going to lie to your viewers about today?

In private exchanges, Fox News stars and execs expressed contempt for Trump's false election claims, calling them "mind-blowingly nuts," "totally off the rails" and "completely bs." They also denounced colleagues for pointing that out publicly or on TV. n.pr/3k7VXEZ

Tesla under Elon Musk also launched an illegal crackdown after workers tried to organize Tesla's factory in Fremont, California. The details from the federal investigation are in this thread and worth reading: xitter.cf/MorePerfectUS/status/1…

NLRB documents reveal aggressive, flagrantly illegal union-busting by Tesla under @ElonMusk. Tesla autoworkers are fired, interrogated, photographed, verbally harassed by security—all in violation of federal law, the NLRB found. Threading newsworthy findings below (1/)

I Was Illegally Fired By Elon Musk For Trying to Unionize Tesla

Autoworker Richard Ortiz tried to organize a union at Tesla. Elon Musk's company responded by "coercively interrogating" and firing him. Ortiz is sharing his full story on camera for the first time.

Workers have tried to unionize Tesla before, and the response has been extreme union-busting, some of it illegal. Last year we talked to a worker on the receiving end of this mistreatment. xitter.cf/moreperfectus/status/1…

This is your reminder that Democrats put #PeopleOverPolitics and voted to lower costs by voting YES to cap insulin at $35/month for Americans on Medicare. Republicans voted NO. #FridayMorning truth

Democrats should be reminding voters EVERY SINGLE DAY that we capped insulin costs for folks on Medicare at $35/month. Every Democrat voted YES. Every Republican voted NO.

The news coming out of the United States is horrific. My heart goes out to the millions of American women who are now set to lose their legal right to an abortion. I can’t imagine the fear and anger you are feeling right now.

No government, politician, or man should tell a woman what she can and cannot do with her body. I want women in Canada to know that we will always stand up for your right to choose.
