Every Republican member of Congress—House AND Senate—will have to decide whether to vote for the bill to gut health care and hand trillions to the super-rich. This bill is intensely unpopular. Don't let Trump's inexcusable, autocratic military response in Los Angeles reduce your pressure on DC.

Regular liberal people must come to understand that there is no way you can appease Nazis and especially that there is no way that you can shrink yourself so they won't hurt you. Their main goal is to hurt you.

The administration that is now using protests in Los Angeles to justify federalizing the National Guard supported Trump when he pardoned January 6 protestors who overran the Capitol.

One thing I’d say about ranked choice voting in NYC is that you don’t have to do complex calculations of viability. You should rank in order of who you want to be mayor and if you don’t want someone to be mayor, you shouldn’t rank them!

PSA: Do not let the Musk & Trump feud distract you from the fact that both want to rob us of basic healthcare, civil rights, & economic security—all while lining the pockets of billionaires. This childish feud is a distraction. Stay focused on ensuring we stop this horrific bill from becoming law.

I can't stress enough how wrong and disingenuous the most recent wave of COVID revisionism is. The only period when Democratic counties had higher death rates was April-May 2020. From June 2020 onwards, Republican laxity and denialism were the most powerful force driving deaths.

On Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s birthday, indulge in the cinematic world of the German iconoclast — seen here in Wim Wenders’s ROOM 666. Have a Fassbinder marathon on the channel — we’ve have more than 20 of his films now playing. 🖤 bit.ly/3N5ZAqB
