My good friend & Twitch mod Matt has had a scare w/ his kitty Loki & had to take him for emergency surgery tonight. The bills are already over $10,000 & they need help in this difficult time! Please give to a lovely human & cat if you are able, and share far and wide!

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

I continue to be struck by this language of “in accordance with the president’s priorities,” which treats the executive branch as an extension of the person of the president, and not a mechanism for instituting the will of Congress

An independent evaluation of who gets what from the Republican tax bill just dropped, and wow.

This chart shows only the tax cut side of things, and they only find the rich. The spending cuts, which are separate, somehow only find the poor.

Trump to Bukele: "Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It's not big enough."

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce.

Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.
