Americans don’t want to see healthcare cuts and tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy. That’s what the GOP wants. Where the Democratic Party loses people is just opposing that without providing an alternative vision. Tax the ruling class, pass Medicare for All for the working class.

Arrests have a cost yall: - time in jail - bail - dealing with lawyers / courts - no contact orders - employment - travel restrictions Civil disobedience with the intention of provoking arrest has a time and a place. It's best done as part of a widespread, dedicated campaign supported by normies.

NEW: Public health teams are being gutted, imperiling efforts to safeguard organ donation and prevent maternal and infant death. Many workers expressed fear at what would happen to the work they left behind.

Stop mocking disabled ppl, trans ppl, queer ppl, ppl of different races or religions to mock fascists. You are not helping.

Guantánamo Bay has a sordid history of human rights abuses. There is no reason to keep people there except to evade oversight, which is why Trump has big plans for it.

Rufo called me a groomer and sent his audience after my family because I said I was fine with my daughter going to therapy. CPS got called. It took months to get rid of them. My former colleagues thought it was hilarious and did nothing.

This cannot be overstated like people used to be legitimately afraid of getting their asses kicked for wearing the wrong kind of shoelaces

another great example along with Wired and Teen Vogue of how real journalism these days can be a lot braver at outlets where no one is trying to get in good with the White House press secretary they’re out here with us, reporting on what’s happening to us all, instead of trying to get inside access

Stud lesbians in the restroom are not a threat. But cops sure the fuck are.

The administration, the media that supports it, and the Vichy capitulators want us to abandon transgender people. Or they want us to abandon Black people, Indigenous people, etc. They want us to think these are all seperate battles, that we need to pick our battles. This is not true.

Tesla's stock is falling pretty hard this month and has a long way to go. It's P/E ratio (stock price relative to earnings) is 165.95 for the last 12 months. A stock is generally considered overvalued if its P/E ratio is above 20 or 30, depending on who you ask lol

Medicaid coverage for virtual visits ends April 1st. As someone who cares for children that live up to 8 hours away, this is DEVASTATING. Children, adults, elderly will all suffer. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES The 5 calls app makes it easy!

The Tompkins County Sheriff did something completely normal; release a person from jail after they finished serving their sentence. But because Trump's ICE had filed a detainer request (which is entirely voluntary) for the man, the Trump DOJ is now threatening a frivolous criminal prosecution.

Just finished reading through the US Constitution again. It is good to brush up on it now and again. I also very highly recommend looking up federal case law, particularly concerning the 1st, 4th, 5th, and 14th Amendments

Latest book to be banned in Utah schools is DAMSEL by Elana K Arnold, so I checked it out from my local library. What a FANTASTIC modern fairy tale. It was banned for discussion of sexual abuse & there is nothing graphic about it. It just TRUTH. What a sick state we’ve become.

Critical support for the drugs

One of my balls feels funny, i have an appointment tomorrow, and the edibles are helping with my anxiety but it is still through the roof lol Please share funny memes?

quick note for info compiling about extremists: ID photo should be tight on their face & not depict them in their best light (smiling, shaven, tidy hair), but how they look as fash. you're not going to recognize a 50-yo pudgy white guy scowling across the street from his wedding photo 15 years ago!

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

60% of Tesla shares held right now were bought at prices higher than its current share price. OUCH.

Why they hell are they not just suing? When the Obama admin BRIEFLY kicked Fox News out of the press room they got sued and lost in a heartbeat?
