Act NOW to stop the worst Medicaid cuts in history - Autistic Self Advocacy Network
The Senate just voted in favor of the worst Medicaid cuts ever.  If this bill becomes law, at least 17 million people will have their health care taken away. This is deeply disappointing, but it is…

Call and email your House reps today, especially if your rep is GOP. The Bill hasn’t passed the House yet. Keep the pressure on.

So that poor guy that the combined powers of the presidents of the United States and El Salvador can’t seem to return to the United States is actually dead, right?

Find and download the Ozymandias Collective Sabotage Handbook. It’s like the Anarchist’s Cookbook except everything in it actually works.

Marches don’t do much unless they’re used as springboards for organizing. Bring a table. Bring sign-up sheets for mailing lists. Network. Plan next steps.

to recap:
— Trump was *for* the TikTok ban
— which the GOP Congress passed
— and the GOP Supreme Court upheld
— and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway
— so that Trump could "save" it
— and the media fell for it
we really do live in the dumbest fucking country

Before people start kissing Trump’s ass for “fighting to bring back TikTok,” let’s not forget that banning TikTok was his fucking idea in the first place and he was the one who started the process of getting it banned.

Today is the 15 year anniversary of a corporate HR manager telling me that I — a career teacher of 10 years — had no place at his company because what they did there was “nothing like watching children”
