Holy shit. This is scary. Senator Chris Murphy just revealed on the Senate floor that Republicans now have the votes to cut $2 trillion in services for seniors on Medicare and kids on Medicaid. Tomorrow is the House’s vote. $2 TRILLION IN CUTS. The worst part 👇

Historian Rick Perlstein has dubbed this dynamic the “right wing ratchet.” It only ever goes one way, toward ever more radical things that would have seemed outlandish months ago but are now just the new normal, with more ratcheting into previously unthinkable territory to come.

I understand and appreciate the sentiment I do but thats not what it means either. The idea of being aware of systemic racism being made a byword by the right only to be sanitized as general good heartedness demonstrates how concepts are drained of vigor. variety.com/2025/film/ne...

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source. Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

🌈💫Did you know that government jobs used to be awarded through a patronage/spoils system? This changed in 1895 when Teddy Roosevelt implemented merit-based civil service positions.

W.E.B. Du Bois on the white takeover of southern public schools after Reconstruction. Not a coincidence that the chapter, "Back Towards Slavery," follows his analysis of the eventual dedegration of the public school system. Attacks on education are vital to (re)instituting authoritarian rule.

Destroying the CDC team researching Lyme disease. Disbanding the HHS Long COVID council. Cutting Medicaid. How is any of this cost-saving? This is not about efficiency. It’s about funding tax breaks for billionaires while costing Americans their health. www.9news.com/article/news...

I’m going to say especially as this is someone in the field of misinformation It’s really creepy and a form of misinformation itself how much these people avoid stating racism as separate from “right wing” As well that this was stated for years by BLACK USERS IN THE US AND BRAZIL

Donald Trump firing ~7000 IRS workers will mean three things: 1) More tax loopholes for the ultra-wealthy and big corporations 2) More debt, since IRS agents collect a lot more than they cost 3) Fewer ways to go after big tax cheats A great day to be a billionaire in America.

Elon and other unvetted Trump enablers shouldn't have access to the entire nation's personal and financial data. Can my Republican colleagues acknowledge that? We're forcing a vote to block that access. Let's see where they land.

the line about how trump is just trolling or joking about the “king” thing is belied somewhat by the fact that his administration’s explicit position is he can do whatever he wants and that everyone in every branch of government needs to bow to his demands or be banished
