@bradlander.bsky.social: "Donald Trump is coming to strike fear into immigrant families and just fear into cities. He's coming for LA, he's coming for New York, he's coming for other cities. And he's trying to both stoke fear and provoke conflict."

🧵 Ohio Republicans are pushing a bill to totally ban abortion, IVF, & some contraception—even criminalizing women who seek abortion with homicide charges. This extreme proposal would overturn Ohio’s 2023 constitutional amendment protecting abortion, which 57% of voters approved tinyurl.com/37k62ks7

Yet another elected Democratic official violently arrested and detained by Trump’s ICE Gestapo. This isn’t frog in boiling water. This fascism is happening quickly, clearly, brazenly.

Reminder that Project 2025 was designed to be a blitzkrieg on our rights, well being, and humanity. It deviates from earlier forms of fascism that operated slowly to be dismissed until too late in favor of moving fast and shocking the system into inaction.

Hospitals & people on Medicaid & ACA plans would be hit even harder under the Senate’s version of the reconciliation bill than under the House’s. Pharmacy benefit managers & private insurers who defraud the gov’t via Medicare Advantage are left unscathed. www.fiercehealthcare.com/regulatory/s...

What's happening to libraries in Florida should frighten everyone. Spurred on by Moms For Liberty, the AG is threatening librarians with felonies for stocking LGBTQ+ books and overruling established processes for removing "harmful" material. It's a full on censorship campaign by the government.

Trump is trying to consolidate power and normalize unconstitutional actions by masked federal agents: arresting public officials, abducting people off the streets without due process, deploying the military in U.S. cities and cracking down on protesters. Make no mistake, this is about power... 1/2

Trump wants John James to stay right where he is. Why? Because he knows James is a rubber stamp for Trump's radical agenda. And he's right. James is eagerly voting to strip healthcare and food away from working people to give giant tax breaks to billionaires. www.deadlinedetroit.com/articles/333...

While this family met with John James's staff in DC, "a staffer failed to give me a clear answer about where James stands on cuts to Medicaid. That showed me just how little regard James can offer our family and his other constituents who rely on the program." gandernewsroom.com/opinion/john...

Medicaid saves lives ... and half of Michigan children rely on it for healthcare. Stories like this abound. Michigan Rep. John James, who wants to be our next governor, supports cuts to Medicaid to pay for billionaire tax cuts. That's a cold campaign strategy. gandernewsroom.com/opinion/john...

Among some of the things we definitively know so far about Vance Boelter: He targeted Democratic elected officials for assassination. His acts have been widely termed as political violence. He was a registered Republican. He was a Trump supporter. He was a US citizen. He was NOT an immigrant.
