Tomorrow voting begins for the Big Beautiful Bill. Here’s a run down. Call your reps. It’s the least we can do before our republic dies on the hill of decorum. Minnesota was a lesson to GOP to not step out of line so idk how calling will convince GOP but maybe a miracle will happen. Let’s call.

If someone shows up with no badge, no name, no ID, no warrant, and their fucking face covered that’s not law enforcement, that’s a goddamn kidnapping. It should be illegal, and the fact that it isn’t already is a terrifying failure of democracy and the law.

“Is there any sign of life?” “Have we heard a heartbeat?” “Does she feel any kicking?” “We don’t have the equipment to do that.” That’s the full 911 audio from a nurse inside an ICE detention center near Denver, calling for help as a four-months-pregnant woman bled and cried out in pain.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

The people who need this won't understand though. They think kids can't be gay. If you think that, you're dead wrong. I was a gay kid. I knew I liked other boys but didn't know there was a word for it or that I was different until about Middle School.
