The Supreme Court just upheld a ban on gender affirming care for minors. This is exactly what Point of Pride provides. Donate today!! Even the smallest donation goes directly to providing trans youth with necessities secure.givelively.org/donate/point...

Whether it's Mosqueda, Pramila, Balducci, et al, if you have a personal connection to electeds who endorsed Bruce when he has a credible progressive challenger, u owe it to yourself & us to ask them why. Make them explain it, help them experience the social sanction of being a disappointing sellout

Finance Committee text is out - this has the Medicaid cuts and the tax cuts. Will go through it in this thread. But what we can say for certain is that, like the House version, this would be BY FAR the largest Medicaid cuts in history, kicking many millions of people off their health insurance.

One thing I have not seen much grappling with: the Trump Administration has acted illegally with respect to the National Guard & Marines in LA plus the whole parade nonsense is a federal show of power, but cops ostensibly controlled by local governments in blue cities attacked protestors yesterday.

Lots of folks see yesterday’s peaceful No Kings march as an indication that Seattle police are “the good ones.” Consider instead that the police can choose a measured response, but often don’t. Harrell is up for election and unpopular; cops in polo shirts is better optics than riot gear.

Proud to have been in this crowd estimated at 70000. This is Cal Anderson Park in Seattle. During my hours there I never saw a police presence. Right on!

No point going all the way to Washington DC for an army parade. Just go on any street with a bunch of your friends demanding free healthcare and affordable housing and the parade will come to you

I love you Seattle. #abolishice #nokings

So proud to be a part of this amazing morning. Location ocean beach San Francisco #nokings

If you're outside in a dense crowd setting today, please remember that Covid and other viruses CAN spread outside, and you're creating the perfect conditions for them to do so. Mask up for liberty!

@prisonculture.bsky.social and I have been encouraging people to read chapter six of our book, Let This Radicalize You, which deals with the question of "violence" in social movements. We have decided to share the chapter publicly, to offer some context and grounding for the current conversation.
