Mitch McConnell has a net worth of up to $52 million, and has had high quality government-financed healthcare for decades. Losing your healthcare, losing your loved ones, losing your life, isn’t something people should be told “get over it.”

If your law is good when there are good people in office, but dangerous when there are bad people in office, your law is bad.

"Better things aren't possible" as party policy

Wait, "at least" 70 citizens have been forcibly deported "so far" without proper recourse to due process?! In any other era this would be the biggest scandal, a political deadweight dragging down a president & party, resulting in strong public + electoral backlash. Don't you think?🗃️

The conservative movement is lying about basically every empirical "debate" of our time, from climate change to voter fraud to vaccines. Why is it so impossible for reactionary centrists to contemplate the possibility they're lying about trans healthcare too?

Fuck that shit. Congress critters should have instant and immediate access at the drop of a hat, on a whim. You don't get 3 days' notice to put on your Sunday best.

This is like the third story put out by the New York Times since Skrmetti rubbing transgender people's faces in it. The paper got the ruling it asked for.

Further: we clearly didn't do enough the last time, since our grandparents and great-grandparents were the ones at Normandy. We need to be more antifascist than we've EVER been.

I cannot express this enough: If and when the tide turns away from fascism, you cannot mistake a ceasefire for peace. They never, ever want peace. You must persecute those responsible to the ends of the earth. You must make future generations fear a repeat of their fate.

It's been hard as FUCK, but with a lot of help from my [word for found-family that doesn't sound ridiculous or appropriative], I think I've turned the corner. 😮‍💨 In so tired.

Rereading Neuromancer and some 80s and 90s tech culture writing is reminding me we used to imagine the internet would be a weird and individualistic culture of DIY hardware and strange people in strange corners battling corporate takeover. Instead we got platforms and everyone wanting an iPhone.

When Teddy Roosevelt was called disloyal for criticizing Wilson’s conduct of WWI, he said “to announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

"I'm happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button. But I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight, safe, with my family... At that elevator, I was separated from someone named Edgardo... Edgardo is in ICE detention and he's not going to sleep in his bed tonight."

Honestly, if any politician wanted to get a shit ton of votes, vowing to get rid of ICE and DHS would do it.

Trump is sending ICE to blue cities to enact the "largest mass deportation program in history" and Chicago is at the top of the list. I'm calling for every Democratic leader and candidate to stand against ICE, to call for its abolition, and to materially support immigrants. Inaction is complicity.

If you're cis, I strongly recommend reading this. It was part of what cracked my egg, but the reason I think you should read it is because you have no idea what this is like and too many of you think it's just about liking pink and skirts

In a new letter to Chuck Schumer and Ken Martin, Sens. Sanders, Warren, Smith, Murphy, Merkley, Welch, Markey and Van Hollen call on Dem leaders to reject billionaire donors by banning super PAC and dark money from Democratic primaries. "[Voters] want change. We can make change.” wapo.st/405Hgny

violent attacks on Jews in the US don't help Palestinians. authoritarian harassment and terrorizing of Palestinians in the US doesn't help Jews. both of these help only fascists, who want to kill us all.

When the "opposition" can't take decisive action when political violence is being enacted IN THEIR OFFICES, then what the fuck are we even pretending to have a functional government for?
