The proposed House budget would cause 477k health care jobs to vanish. Medicaid cuts would shut down rural hospitals and drive up costs for everyone. SNAP cuts would leave millions of children without enough to eat. The damage to working families would be catastrophic.

All the damned time. But white people keep getting in the way, worrying that “undeserving” Black and brown people might get something for free, so now we all get to live through fascism. Again.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

I keep having to restate to comrades that Tru*p is broadly unpopular and that this is an ACTUAL opportunity. Even some organizers seem to be convinced that this guy is more popular than he is. His fans are not THE COUNTRY. Stop being propagandized by the terrible US mainstream media.

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka. They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

You know the only reason he got out so fast was a reporter live posted about this for hours. And, a large amount of public pressure. Every time someone gets grabbed, there has to be a robust public response immediately.

Anyone writing about the compounded rage that younger white men are going to unleash when it becomes clear to them that they will not in fact be finding girlfriends/wives and also that they will not be getting high paying auto jobs in the future... IOW when they recognize they were lied to.

Justice Sotomayor, writing in today's deportation case. How many times must she write, "With fear for our democracy, I dissent," before Republicans get the point? Perhaps only when, as the poem goes, they come for them.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

We often look back on the seminal moments in our history and wonder "What would I have done?" This is our moment. This is our time. We must stand up. We must speak out. We must do everything we can to stop a President who has every intention of destroying our democracy.

Every so often, it just comes back to me in full force. The political and economic order that allowed this man to come to power is obviously no longer tenable. The leaders who let it happen obviously have to be replaced. This is an epoch defining failure and we have to turn the page completely.

I was poor from the age of 21 to 32. Every month was a struggle. There's no romance or honor in poverty. It just makes life harder. But, I survived and can take the lumps. Same can't be said for so many well-off folks who voted for Trump due to greed, ignorance, rage, and racism. It's gonna hurt.

If you’re a journalist or lawmaker still planning to attend the White House Correspondents Dinner after WHCA cancelled Amber Ruffin to placate a petty tyrant, you need to dig deep and ask yourself why you’re really still going because it sure as hell isn’t to celebrate the First Amendment.

Last week, Trump signed an illegal, dangerous, and reckless executive order to dismantle the Department of Education. This hurts rural students, disabled students, and low-income students the most. We must protect our public schools.
