Everyone should be watching this #AOC speech from extra early this morning, right before MAGA Republicans voted to strip away Medicaid/ Medicare and end Planned Parenthood. While giving gun nuts the most rights since the 30s. She's right. This is a "Xmas gift." But not for us. #SheShed #Medicaid

Cis women in Ireland need to talk to other cis women in our lives and pour water on the kind of thinly veiled, soft-sounding bigotry that's creeping into people's social media and minds before we fully go the way of the UK. TERFs are claiming to speak FOR us - we need to speak for ourselves. Loudly.

Last week, DHS and Secretary Noem's staff and spokespeople suggested that because Mr. Abrego Garcia had $1,100 in cash on him when arrested outside Home Depot seeking day labor, that was strong evidence that he was a member of MS-13. I guess that raises a similar question about her $3,000.

In an executive order, Trump targeted the Smithsonian and the National Museum of African American History & Culture suggesting that it is “divisive” and pedaling “improper ideology.” So, I took a trip back to the museum, and what I saw was a place trying to tell the unvarnished truth about America.

Trump tariffed every country, even penguins, but not Russia. He said it’s because he’s negotiating the wars end. But he DID tariff Ukraine. Hmmm

One of the reasons we have a United States in the first place is King George III was arresting people in the 13 Colonies, shipping them abroad without a right to see a judge, and then imprisoning them after sham trials in England. The men in CECOT didn’t even get sham trials!

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

No, the President actually does not decide how tax dollars are spent. Congress does. It would be good if we had an Attorney General who focused on understanding the law rather than groveling and reciting lies to score points with the President. What an embarrassing spectacle.

Once widely perceived to be the wealthiest country in Central Europe, Hungary is now one of the poorest, and basically relies on the EU to keep itself solvent. This is the future the MAGA crowd want for the US. Also another reason the EU should insist on real democracy or kick them out.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

We have to stop dividing our problems into “left and right" and start seeing our problems like “top vs bottom.” 737 billionaires in the U.S. have a combined wealth of 5.5 trillion. And they funneled it out of the middle class. Then Trump keeps us fighting with each other while they steal more.

So Trump is gutting the tourism and flight industry in the U.S., tanking the economy, sparking a global recession and limiting international trade and production. Does he know that he is actually probably lowering co2 emissions and this could thus be viewed as an action to protect the climate?
