Not only did I learn about Ukraine's super successful strike against Russia on BlueSky hours before major papers, most US outlets aren't yet giving it the sort of play it deserves. NYT reporting centers Russian sources and story isn't lead; it's also not lead on CNN, WSJ, NBC, CBS sites. Shameful.

Joni Ernst is a POS: "Illegals" don't get Medicaid benefits. Medicaid is not money mailed to people. Medicaid PAYS health bills. My mom's memory care was paid for by Medicaid. And it's HARD as HELL to qualify. Undocumented people sometimes pay IN thru taxes. They do NOT get friggin' benefits. Bitch.

The ugly truth of Trump's mass deportation: There's not a ton of immigrant rapists, but lots of college students and essential workers to handcuff at bogus traffic stops or when they show up for immigration court This immoral crusade is about to get worse.

The finale for The Handmaid’s Tale worked as a satisfy ending to (this chapter of) June’s war on Gilead, but knowing that SPOILERS The Testaments exist 15 years after this and Gilead STILL exists and Hannah is STILL there is depressing as hell. Trump 2.0 is dystopian enough. Can’t do it.

Throwback Thursday… At President Biden’s final State of the Union address, he backed the entire Republican Party into a corner, forcing them to deny that they were planning to slash Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid—just to hand billionaires a trillion-dollar tax cut. He knew!

Trump doesn't give a crap about South Africa. But he does care about making white Americans scared of Black people. Racism is his jet fuel.

Ways and Means Chair Jason Smith refuses to read a line from Republican's legislation that would provide a tax break for owners of tanning beds. Fernandez: "So if you have a tanning bed, you get a little bit of a tax break and if you need a hospital bed in rural America, you're out of luck."

Trump: "The G7 used to be the G8 but brilliantly they threw Russia out. Would have been a lot better if Russia was in...If Russia was in you probably wouldn't have this war." Russia was kicked out of the G8 after invading Ukraine in 2014.

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few: 1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

That was when they suspended the Constitution. They said it would be temporary. There wasn’t even any rioting in the streets. People stayed home at night, watching television, looking for some direction. There wasn’t even an enemy you could put your finger on. — The Handmaid's Tale, Margaret Atwood

One easy way to know if you should support cuts to Medicaid is to ask yourself if you want your nearest hospital to be open or closed next time you need it. Then repeat the question substituting “Emergency Department,” “Trauma Center,” “Stroke Center,” “Cardiac Cath Lab,” etc.

The Trump DOJ has officially now pressed more charges against elected Democrats than the Biden DOJ under Garland did against Republicans. And Republicans did January 6. Think about this.
