I really want to say something about Thomas on this post but I refuse to bring myself to their level. But how does a black man say that the voting rights act is too racial? Unfuckingreal

Republican Senator Joni Ernst gets confronted on her vote to gut Medicaid from millions of Americans.
This mom's son’s health issues need more than just to be ‘taken into consideration.'

Two things both true:

The loved ones of Venezuelans are celebrating that they are no longer in CECOT; some are celebrating their return home.

And.

It is a violation of international law to cause someone to be returned where they’ll be persecuted. Most of them never got a chance to make that case.

And that's the level of the rule of law in Venezuela and the United States right now. Trading humans for political advantage.

If you grew up in a household with an evangelical right-wing parent, as I did, you already know that the dismantling of the U.S. Department of Education, like the reversal of Roe v. Wade, is the culmination of a 50-year project.

Our taxpayer dollars are going towards paying for white supremacists to cosplay as soldiers in Los Angeles for photo ops that are designed as propaganda for the Trump regime so they can convince their Fox News followers of a lie that the United States is under “invasion” and ICE is their savior.

A Boston University professor estimates that the Trump administration’s cuts to USAID grants have caused more than 330,000 deaths worldwide, including 224,575 children. 😰😰

The white hoods have been off for a while.
It’s weird how the white conservative guys at the NYT get to say whatever they want but anyone else has to watch what they say because it’s “too political”
So, Jamelle Bouie criticizes an attempted-gotcha on Mamdani at NYT, then NYT asks him to remove any criticism from social, but the author of the attempted-gotcha works with impunity? Do I have that right?

People living under fascism didn’t survive by giving up joy—they protected it.

They held onto the things fascism tried to erase: art, friendship, jokes, rituals, language, memory.

Not as escapism but as resistance. As proof they were still human.

Joy isn’t frivolous under fascism. It’s strategic.

Happy Independence Day America! I am proud to be American. To me, the real patriots are those who push their country to do better and live up to its ideals. Because if you love America as a beacon of hope, you have to love liberty and justice for all.

Once again, this is a massive public jobs program for fascists.

This bill was never just about tax cuts and gutting social services. It's about investing our collective resources in violence and using state power to spread fear and destroy solidarity. We need to resist this with all we've got.
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.

Today proves that Republicans were serious about one promise: to cut taxes for the wealthy. All the rest was bullshit.
