I enjoy —> reading, coffee in the mornings, riding my bike, drives to pretty places, photography, journaling. Trying to balance my consumption of political news with my well-being (a challenge these days).

The legal, media, and academic institutions capitulating to an authoritarian ordering payments for favorable treatment are damning themselves to irrelevance. They are destroying their institutions. They will be — and should be — shunned for failing in their most basic purposes for existing.

All those House Republican frauds who voted for the exact same discharge petition they refused to sign for months hoping it would never come to the floor are now trying to act like they always supported it.

Refusing to fund SNAP is ableism.
Cutting Medicaid is ableism.
Terminating ACA subsidies is ableism.
Slashing affordable housing is ableism.
This regime has a very clear eugenics agenda.
They’re targeting services they know disabled people rely on to survive.

Them: “I’m sick of subsidizing their groceries when mine cost so much”
SNAP does not drive up grocery prices.
That would be inflation, tariffs & corporate greed.
For every $1 spent on SNAP there’s a $1.50 going back into the economy.
While you’re blaming the poor, the rich are robbing everyone.

Being in the US illegally is a civil offence
It’s not a felony. It’s not a criminal offence
So why are so many people being violently rounded up & thrown in camps?

The DOJ admitted that only 2.5% of people arrested in Chicago raids had criminal records
Which means 97.5% did NOT

Remember: The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.
When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice.
The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.
