I am hearing y'all put on a special welcome for Dipshit Vance. Goodonya.

BIG UPDATE: The new changes in the Senate version of BBB that will cut funding for Medicaid do not apply to Medicaid non-expansion states, per sources familiar. In those 10 states (WI, WY, KS, TX, TN, MS, AL, GA, SC, FL), provider taxes and state-directed payments will be frozen at current levels.

Reskeet this if you want @blumenthal.senate.gov to stop introducing crappy censorship bills that make kids less safe while praising Elon Musk as a "free speech champion" (we are driving this billboard around Hartford, CT right now)

Good overview of the fun house mirror reality in which a huge swath of the GOP rank and file lives. The function of right wing conspiracy theories is to hive off a big chunk of the population into an imaginary world that is impervious to facts and other perspectives. www.readtpa.com/p/the-rights...

I have also found this to be true.

They've detained a mayor, a Congresswoman, a union leader, and now a U.S. Senator. They've deployed marines to an American city. They are hosting a military parade. This isn't the Trump Administration, it's the Trump Regime.

I no longer view the crisis before us as a GOP vs. Democrat issue, and I haven't for a long time. This is a profound issue of choosing to fight supremacist politics, of necropolitics-- of whether you believe it's worth protecting people's right to live with a measure of dignity and respect, period

Excited to see that black people performing country music are only eligible for 3/5ths of a Grammy

This is a correct take. In a country with a properly-functioning Congress, this would be Article 1 of a bill of impeachment.

If interested, I have a zine about the use(s) of tear gas by police against protesters in the U.S. issuu.com/projectnia/d...

“Defund the police” is also a climate justice issue because LAPD helicopters alone burn 761,000 gallons of jet fuel in a year per a jalopnik article from 2023. www.jalopnik.com/lapd-spends-...

Republicans will use images like these in conjunction with news media, to spread lies (which they’ll air as factual news) that supporters of illegal immigration from shit-hole-countries only, took to the streets and nearly burned down Los Angeles, until Trump sent the #NationalGuard to save the day.

The situation in Los Angeles is about to plunge us into a national emergency, except the people that normally solve national emergencies are the ones creating it.

How Los Angeles treats Fox. Get the F out of here!! Fake news!!

Anti-ICE graffiti in Los Angeles! 🏴🔥

If you don't already own it, now is the time. If you do, get one for a friend.
