This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote. There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

1. Protests are happening literally every day these days. Trans rights protests. Protests against Musk. Heck, over a thousand people showed up for a protest at the Treasury. I advise everyone, especially people who don't usually, to find any of them and just go to one. It's important.

Also, Thomas Dixon, who wrote the novel, admitted in a letter that claims of artistic innovation were a ruse to get their film in front of mainstream audiences. The "power" and being "transported to another world" thing people talk about? That's the heat of unfettered hate, not cinematic innovation

Stop reposting this. It's wrong. The news out of Yosemite is horrific, but this is incorrect. (Former Yosemite ranger here, still connected to folks in the park.) About a dozen employees in Yosemite have lost their jobs. There are still approximately 400 employees in Yosemite.

CA won’t comply w/ orders targeting/criminalizing trans people, their families or teachers. CA won’t be part of Trump’s deportation machine. CA won’t avert our eyes in the hope he doesn’t notice us & isn’t antagonized. CA knows you don’t give the bully your lunch money. You punch him in the face.

Please don't tell anyone off Bluesky but I just got the call: when Francis dies I'll be the new Pope. Seems the whole conclave thing is a fake front, they try to choose Popes based on a heavenly algorithm that seeks the coolest person. "It always fails" they said. Anyway I'm in. Nude Easter soon.
