The “big beautiful bill” is a reverse Robinhood move (stealing from the poor - giving to the rich), so Elle Cordova remade Roger Miller’s “Oo-De-Lally” song from the Robinhood movie seems perfect.

Congrats to the GOP. They f*cked their constituents to keep Diddy Rump happy.
We won’t forget.

Some guy on Twitter made a point of announcing that thousands upon thousands of men are descended from rapists, and we women "aren't going to like it when [they] stop asking nicely."

Which, you know, surprise surprise brother, but you're also not going to like it when we stop refusing nicely.

Just in NIH grants, It looks like beautiful Iowa City, home of the U of Iowa, will lose $71m in funding. That's almost $1k per resident. And that's before all the other cuts to SSA, FDA, etc.

Anyone in Iowa City that can offer more insight?

@malcolmhq.bsky.social is bringing the heat as always!

We can’t blink, we can’t back down, we can’t give in—there’s too much at stake.

Eyes open, feet planted, fight on. 🔥

And @democrats.org we need more Malcolm please.

If there is a blue deep state machine... now would be the time to act on that last resort plot to keep America from becoming a 3rd world country....

Thank you to all those who risked it all for freedom. Let's not squander this amazing gift we have been given.

One grain.
Not every patriot can call out fascism like former NFL player Chris Kluwe.

But we EACH must do what we can to stand up for democracy instead of sucking up to tyrants.

No, but if you’re looking for one, I am aware of a guy you work with that was indicted four times and convicted of thirty-four felonies.

I’m positive you all saw the video from Coeur d’Alene, where a woman was pulled out of her seat and arrested by men who claimed to be sheriff deputies, but were not in uniform.

I need the men to do something: When you see a woman being abused, step in. Step up. Get in the way. Put your body to use.

We could have had Kamala.
It’ll always break my heart that we could’ve had an extraordinary President with Kamala Harris and instead we have a disgusting rapist criminal traitor.

The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 was signed into law by President Richard Nixon in September of that year.

Section 504 of that act codified the civil rights of persons with disabilities.

Overturning this will not help children, nor will it help schools.

The extremely wealthy in this country have been coddled. And the working class and middle class have been cheated. The social contract has been broken.
