Senators keep drawing red lines on the Big Beautiful Bill. A critical mass is opposed to the House's elimination of clean-energy tax credits, the big SALT deduction, Medicaid cuts, & more. Yet a critical mass also wants more spending cuts. Any changes will upend the precarious math for passage.

This seems to be an escalation of the surveillance tactics that the police used when we were organizing at UM in 2015-2018. The campus police informed me they were watching my social media and one undercover cop called me by name at a protest. But this is scary

The University of Michigan is using private, undercover investigators to surveil anti-genocide protesters on and off campus. This is absolutely unconscionable and a complete betrayal of students by the university, not to mention a violation of their fundamental rights to academic freedom.

The Big Fucked Up Bill, is NOT a spending bill. It’s a government restructuring bill, that consolidates power in the executive, defunds critical services to the point of absurdity, removes the power of our courts to enforce the law and dramatically curtails voting rights. It’s Project 2025

As usual, the cruelty is the point. Missouri has lived under the boot of a GOP supermajority for 22 years and they have consistently defunded schools. And now they are planning to close schools for the severely disabled.

Today is Naksa Day, a day of commemoration for the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who were killed and expelled from their homes 58 years ago. Lasting peace means acknowledging atrocities. By carrying our ancestors’ stories and pain, we can strive for a better future for our descendants.

This is all very simple. Let the world's two biggest babies fight and visibly construct and build a world without them. Anybody who tries to welcome Elon Musk, the world's most preeminent ratfucker, into their political party should be put in a dog crate until 2029.

PSA: Do not let the Musk & Trump feud distract you from the fact that both want to rob us of basic healthcare, civil rights, & economic security—all while lining the pockets of billionaires. This childish feud is a distraction. Stay focused on ensuring we stop this horrific bill from becoming law.

I know everyone is loving the Musk schadenfreude but we have to stay on the alert for the possibility that Musk is going to turn his sights to those centrist dem conventions going on and further entrench transphobia and anti-immigrant sentiment. And they would easily work with him.
