Medicaid doesn't just impact our health. It also impacts our healthcare workforce. Cutting Medicaid will mean cutting jobs. Lots of them! This leaves hospitals understaffed, with more patients dying needlessly! #DontKillOurMedicaid

This is madness, obviously—and counter to what he said during the campaign, which was that "success would be his revenge." But understand that this pre-rigged attempt to formalize the Big Lie ends with martial law, an attempt to cancel the midterms, and a declaration that he is seeking a third term.

Don't let them distract you. Republicans are trying to sell off millions of acres of your public lands to billionaire developers — all as they take away your benefits. Now is the time to make some noise.

Putin: “We have this old rule: wherever a Russian soldier sets foot, it’s ours.” He’s not even pretending to hide his imperialism. Contrary to what Trump and others claim, this war was never about NATO expansion

I'm sorry I know this is supposed to be a feel-good story but I don't feel good about centrist military-industrial complex stans, especially in states that have some true progressive fighters www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I’d like to say “we’re better than this.” But the truth is that this dark and hateful strain of nativism and bigotry has always pulsed through the body politic of America. Now, however, it’s’ being activated and applauded from a lawless White House.

We should be able to keep two thoughts together in our heads at the same time: 1) Attacking Iran would be really dangerous. But also 2) Attacking Iran would be extremely dangerous.

OK patriots, Trump is directing his presidential power against blue states in a way wildly out of keeping with what we expect of Presidents. And these days, that's pretty much all he's got. newrepublic.com/article/1970...

ICE agents detain people coming out from hearings at immigration court who have upcoming scheduled hearings. ICE agents unilaterally grabs them and drags them away. When people abiding by the law get arrested, and the government openly defies the law, it’s fascism.

I will turn 50 this September. I was born in 1975, and I represent the only generation of American women born with full rights that have been lost in the same lifetime. My generation has witnessed anti-progress. A cultivated backpedal. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...

Peter Sean Brown, a Philly native, should have never been held on an ICE detainer by the Monroe County Sheriff's Office nor should he have faced deportation to Jamaica.

“I’m coming to Boston. I’m bringing hell with me.” A month after Tom Homan's threat, he was spotted nearby visiting a Mexican restaurant. "Like a mobster," a Waltham resident described. Countless ICE sweeps have since occurred, as well as the creation of a network determined to protect neighbors.

This is brutal. India says Trump is lying about a trade deal and says he also lied about brokering a peace deal between India and Pakistan. We are a joke around the world. bsky.app/profile/meid...

Fearing a backlash from his isolationist supporters, the White House has quietly reached out to conservative influencers to explain Trump’s shift away from diplomacy. Among those contacted was Charlie Kirk, who recently polled his audience on whether the U.S. should intervene – nearly 90% said no.

AOC played ball and did everything Pelosi told her and was rewarded by being passed over for a 75-year-old who died four months later. There have now been four House votes this year where Dems lost by the margin of members who died in office. No one has more right to say this than her

Fire crews are stretched thin as a result of Trump’s illegal National Guard deployment. He’s pulled personnel from critical firefighting missions just to stage his political theater. @calfire.bsky.social is stepping in to fill the gaps, but this is senseless and dangerous.
