People apparently think they’re being clever when they tell abuse victims to leave once a relationship turns abusive. In reality they’re demonstrating they know nothing about how abuse works at either a psychological or practical level

Abuse isn't like an all or nothing, it starts subtle, and includes things like cutting people off from their support network, chipping away at their self-esteem, gaslighting them into questioning their own experiences, so by the time it becomes overwhelming the person feels trapped.

Some Republicans say we’ll just “grow our way out” of the $3.8 trillion debt bomb they’re about to set off. We’ve heard that fairy tale before—under Reagan, Bush, and Trump 1.0. It didn’t work then, it won’t work now. Working families will pay the price.

300,000 deaths estimated. To save 2 nickels that no one would miss in the budget, he’s caused the death of an estimated 300,00 people. He’s a mass murderer.

Sure would be great if Dem SuperPACs SPENT MONEY ON ADS RIGHT NOW HIGHLIGHTING A REPUBLICAN TELLING US ALL TO DIE. But they won’t, because the broken “Dem data expert” world tells everyone to wait on ads until September 2026.

Somewhat unrelated, but I saw a conservative PAC ad this morning on the local news for a Republican NC congressman in what should be a very safe seat.

In the current climate it’s more important than ever to remember the Tulsa race massacre which took place from May 30 to June 1, 1921.

#MorningVibe Removing the chains of being safe & friendly can come with consequences. Freeing oneself from being overly safe & friendly might offer opportunities, but it also carries risks & challenges. Weigh the risks. Do it anyway.

ICE is going to make good people do very violent things. If it pops off it will likely be San Diego. The worst force footage has been NYC and San Diego with San Diego having even lawyer’s getting into altercations with ICE in immigration court hallways. But yesterday ICE used bombs on civilians. 🧵

The sum total of Republicans’ health care policies — including their changes to Medicaid and the ACA, and the expiration of expanded premium subsidies — are expected to result in roughly 14 million Americans losing their health insurance coverage. Beat the paywall => archive.ph/bNDzl

These people were following the law and went to check in with immigration like they are supposed to. This woman's immigration case was dismissed, which made her immediately undocumented. So ICE took her into custody. The air conditioning was off in the back of the truck. "I can't breathe."

The one thing joni ernst was missing from her statement about everyone dying was the continuation of it. "Everyone is going to die... So we are just making it sooner for tens of millions of people so that the richest people can get more tax cuts." There. I fixed it. That's what she meant to say.

Joni Ernst saying "Well, we all are going to die." is true but she has a better chance of surviving longer because she has a premium healthcare plan for life. That is very republican of you Joni.

🦋 Republican Senator Joni Ernst's election is in 520 days As she disgracefully responds to her constituents, concerned that Medicaid cuts will kill people, with “We all are going to die”, now is a good time to highlight the Democratic candidate www.sageforsenate.com and @sageforiowa.bsky.social 🦋

Republican Senator Joni Ernst, addressing people's concerns about losing their Medicare: Audience member: "People are going to die!" Sen. Ernst: "Well, we all are going to die..." No shit, Sherlock. But it shouldn't be sooner, because of huge Medicaid cuts, Ms. Tone-Deaf Senator. 🙄

I am begging any progressive in Iowa: Primary Joni Ernst. She has made herself such an easy mark for this. Genuinely, with a bit of doorknocking, local news, and ads, you could be a senator. She told her own constituents to die so that she can make her donors rich. I made a mock ad in 5 seconds.
