The GOP Budget Is Greedy and Cruel Yes, you know someone on Medicaid. An aunt, your bartender or the hotel maid. GOP budget will fuck them. We must shout! Hurting folks is what their tax cuts are about.

Trump’s “refugee” plan for white South Africans is built on lies. Truth: 📌No genocide—Afrikaners face less violence 📌No land theft—land reform is legal & long overdue 📌Even Afrikaners refused it 📌It’s racial grievance, not rescue He blocks Black & brown asylum seekers—but invents white asylum.

Wish I'd written this about NYTimes downplaying Trump corruption: "It’s not corruption unless it's grown in the corruption region of France, anything else is just sparkling bribery."

Happy 111th birthday to Viola Fletcher, oldest known living survivor of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. The massacre killed hundreds, and burned “Black Wall Street” to the ground. Not one white person has been charged — and no Black survivor or descendant received reparations for their losses.

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

Have you heard the idea from @michaelcohen212.bsky.social about flipping the house before the midterm by convincing 4 purple dist GOP to go independent? I heard it on @malcolmnance.bsky.social podcast but couldn't find out more. IMO if they had protection, some might leave when the tariffs hit.

from the article: "We are the federal law,” Trump spluttered, adding “you better do it because you're not going to get any federal funding at all if you don't.” “We'll see you in court,” Mills replied. “Good, I'll see you in court. I look forward to that. That should be a real easy one,” he raged.

Many of us are struggling with a desperate sense of urgency while it seems so many others are asleep. It was 2.5 years from the Boston Tea Party to the Declaration of Independence. We've had 3 months. That war was won because day after day, people chose to keep going Keep going friends. Goodnight💚

Yes, it was about the no bid contracts, the backdoors in government systems, quashing the investigations of Musk's companies, hatred of civil servants, oh and just destruction so that every thing can be privatized for profit.
