Think of the states with nasty regressive policies as abusive households. There are people that are caught up in horrible situations that didn’t ask for them, and wanting them to go down with their abusers is cruel.
Human beings live in Florida, so please knock it off with the “just let Floridians die” shit. We have to figure out a way to get us all through this nightmare.

Texas Republicans are holding a Black woman, a Democratic state rep, hostage in the legislative chamber. They have locked the doors and have banned her from leaving.
“‘I refuse to sign away my dignity as a duly elected representative just so Republicans can control my movements and monitor me with police escorts,’ Collier said in a statement that called her a ‘political prisoner’ for refusing Republican ‘surveillance protocol.’” www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

The White House’s official X account has a long thread in which they’ve posted pictures of people arrested during the feds’ occupation of the city. Every single person in the thread is a person of color.

There’s been a lot of racist commentary about what is and isn’t civilized but letting anyone die because they can’t afford healthcare in the richest country in the world is actually very uncivilized and downright barbaric.

The White House has ordered the US Dept. of Justice to prioritize denaturalization: voiding the citizenship of US citizens.
Who will it denaturalize? "Any" case that it "determines to be sufficiently important".
Point 10 leaves the criteria opaque and arbitrary.

So that means the universal injunction against the SAVE program was an overreach and the program should be implemented now, logically, so someone needs to get a lawsuit ready to commit some legal terrorism against conservative courts who abused this previously.

Gold is so medieval, but paper bills just don't have the right scale-feel. Besides, the hoarding of money is too capitalist and have you SEEN the economy these days? But a dragon's gotta sleep somewhere. What do you use to build a hoard you can snooze on?
