So no Dems or major news media are going to treat the more than a thousand people disappeared from Alligator Alcatraz as a story worthy of persistent pressure?

Trumpnomics: Get tariff money from US consumers on Chinese goods. Our farmers can’t sell their products because the Chinese refuse to pay our tariffs. China buys from farmers in Argentina instead. We send Argentina $20 billion. Then we pay our farmers to throw their crops away.

Washington Post dismantled the platform Jamal wrote on. Discarded the fellowship they created in his memory.
They fired me unjustly for speaking the truth.
But I’ll never stop talking about my friend, writer, and amazing human, Jamal Khashoggi.
RIP, Jamal.

Jamal Khashoggi, the Washington Post, and the Cost of Speaking Out
As Saudi Arabia hosts comedians and courts gamers, the silenced voice of Jamal Khashoggi still echoes.

seriously, I know this is a crazy radical idea in these extremely normal times but what if democrats stopped voting for trump nominees
Schiff literally just voted to advance Trump’s pick for Assistant Secretary of Defense.
You keep talking about how corrupt Trump is and then voting for his agenda.

The American public deserves to know that those serving at the highest levels of government are free from financial conflicts of interest.
Needless to say, this administration appears to be awash in such corruption.
I'm determined to get answers.

A VERY important point -- this bill is not final, not at all. It will now go to the Senate. If the Senate makes changes to the bill (they likely will), it will go back to the House for another vote.
The House passed it last night with ONE VOTE.
We can stop this. We have to.

I understand this will sound hyperbolic but it's more accurate than not to say anything you care about, this bill seeks to destroy.
Final passage by one vote, though likely the present and 2 NV were all available to them if they had been needed. It's with the Senate now

Slashing Medicaid by $700B and adding work requirement means millions of poor and chronically ill people will go without care. It’s functional erasure of vulnerable populations by policy design - letting death, illness & despair “solve” systemic inequality. This is Autogenocide #3E #EndAutogenocide

In Defense of Despair
The feeling is most commonly framed as an end point, a level of despondency that cannot be overcome. But it doesn’t have to be so.
