Republicans knew what this bill would do to America's rural communities and they voted for it anyways. They all deserve to lose their seats.

Here are all the polls on the Republican budget, which will be signed into law by the president today. Trump may have won the popular vote, but Trumpism is not exactly a popular movement. There will be political costs for passing this.

This post uses dehumanizing language like “sick of mind,” “robbers,” and “destroy our Inner Cities” to portray the left as not just wrong but evil. It’s less about ICE and immigration than it is about casting political opponents as threats to the nation’s survival.🧵(cont.)..

if other adoptees are looking for really good shows about adoption, Little Bird is my top suggestion

it doesn't cover every experience of course, but it beautifully depicts the struggles many of us have had with identity, family, and profound injustice

Omg the erik prince elon musk connection is terrifying. Hmmmm. Google the connections, blackwater to Venezuela. His extinction level event comments make so much more sense now. The systematic takedown of our democracy could be highlighted by the work of these two.

Be vigilant about keeping abusive right-wing trolls off your accounts by reading replies and blocking. We all have a responsibility to keep this platform from becoming the toxic sewer that the other one is. Don’t look to others, do your part.
