On top of the cuts to Medicaid and the ACA, this bill proposes $500 BILLION in Medicare cuts. Republicans don't care who they hurt as long as they get their tax cuts. Beyond egregious! youtu.be/WKKZjLwk3sc?...

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” guts Medicaid and aid programs to extend tax breaks, yet analysts say it could still balloon the debt by trillions. Critics call it a reverse Robin Hood in disguise. Slashing care for millions to fund cuts for the wealthy. #MomSky finance.yahoo.com/news/white-h...

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

It is time for Democrats to go on the attack, and take away tax-exempt status for every church that unabashedly campaigned for Trump. Take off the gloves, start to destroy the opposing institutions that fund the fascist movement.

We need to be aware of the companies—like Costco in retail, Chase in banking and Perkins Coie in law—that are fighting back or ignoring the bullying executive orders coming from 47. As an aside, the WSJ political reporting has been much clearer than either NYT or WaPo, as this headline suggests.

The idea that race is a social & historical construct has a long history. It was a central plank of the post WWII US consensus for obvious reasons given what pseudo-scientific racism had wrought. One of the central planks of the US right in the post WWII era was that race is a biologically reality.

I am genuinely struggling to process the images of ICE Nazi-Barbie Kristi Noem standing in front of a cage of barely clothed men with shaved heads. These send shudders down my spine. What I can't understand is: how are these viewed by Trump supporters? Especially Jewish Trump supporters?

People using Grok to get actual knowledge is like going fishing in a puddle on the sidewalk. Aside from being unethical it’s so inaccurate. In the heyday of google you could actually find out information this way. But there is knowledge loss happening if people think they are learning through AI.

I’d like to ask every single New Yorker who’s remotely left of center to get actively involved in your local Democratic Party chapter with the goal of driving Schumer, Gillibrand, Hochul, Adams, Cuomo and all the other dead wood into retirement.

The whole point is not just the state disappearing whoever they want, it's you being in the habit of accepting the state choosing whom to disappear, without question. It's submission to the state. Same as with Gitmo after 9/11. The state's judgment must not be questioned.

SPED parents are (1) acutely aware of their children's rights and the gov't role securing them, (2) fiercely protective, but (3) deceptively polite when they're dealing with local officials. But if national leaders mess with their kids? The gloves will come off and they will destroy them.
