This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.

There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP

Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Please explain what just happened. Is there no way to stop this w the reconciliation to be used by GOP to get around the filibuster? Are we sunk?

My new poetry book bouquet of thorny rose comes out in less than a month! Published by the excellent folks at @echobirdpress.bsky.social
the first slide has the book cover, with large pink roses and thorn covered buds and the book title and author's name. a block of text has the event name and location, another block has a reviewer quote that reads "... just as tender-sharp and harrowingly generous as the title implies", and at the bottom are a small N95 mask icon and the words 'mask required', and a small black arrow pointing to the right and the words 'book description'. the second slide has text that reads: "bouquet of thorny rose explores the intricacies of living in a deviant body through the intersections of pleasure, trauma, memory, and emotion. This hybrid collection burrows deep into relationships with self, others, and the world to examine, unearth, and name. To tend and prune. You will find stories of violation, reclamation, naked truths and hard-won joy. The intention is resonance. To share as food or medicine or hedonism or validation. To upend the basket and sift through, perhaps to find a seed of your own. So often we go hungry, prowling the shadows at feasts we aren’t invited to. Seeking flavors labeled poison but tasting of home. Seeking antidotes for those they force us to swallow. Perhaps, for you, some grow here." below that are the author and publisher websites: sossitywrites.com and echobirdpress.com.

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?

Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.

Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

This is a real issue that is glossed over so much in people's rush to righteousness. If viable alternatives are not already in place, you are asking people to starve themselves. Please read the whole🧵

Yes it’s time to start working towards leaving Meta. Yes it is not a business as usual situation.

But please bear in mind you are scolding millions of artists, writers, musicians, creators, many of them queer, into boycotting their storefront overnight - with no viable alternative.
