If you’re an elected Democrat (rightly) complaining about the GOP kicking 17 million people off of Medicaid, now is a good and credible time to critique the entire broken work-based non-universal US healthcare system. Now is the time to call for universal healthcare, for Medicare for All.

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.

This is an assault on the Reconstruction Amendments by a Neo-Confederate Court wedded to the far-right argument that those amendments were illegitimate and destroyed the original intent of the Founders, which was to create a white man's country

Gonna level with you bro I think DHS needs to be dissolved after this. Regardless of what national security functions fall under its remit, it's clearly institutionally constructed in such a way allows it to be used as an unaccountable tool of executive power. Can't reform your way out of that.

If we're ever going to have a chance of rebuilding from this mess, the left-right axis is far less important than the fight-don't fight axis. Moderates who are willing to do whatever it takes to recover from Trumpism are far more valuable to the left than "leftists" who just care about their seats.

The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law

The thing that is important for elected politicians to know about civil rights issues: your responsibilities in your job demand that you take positions standing up for everybody, not because these positions are popular, but because these positions are just.
Everybody has civil rights or nobody does
Iowa is on the brink of doing what no other state has: revoking statutory civil rights protections for trans people.
In 2007, the legislature expanded Iowa’s civil rights law to include sexual orientation & gender identity.
Today, the legislature passed a bill to take gender identity out.
