Here for some sanity, joy, and engagement with others. I'm hoping to find (and fight for) a way back to a world that makes us all better people. Democracy is the only way forward.

Tyranny requires constant effort. Oppression is the mask of fear. Authority is brittle. And most importantly: you are never truly alone when standing up to authoritarianism. You have friends everywhere.

Now is a great time to reach out to your member of Congress who promised not to cut Medicaid.
Or to your conservative friends who don't think we should be exploding the debt.
Because today, Donald Trump met with Republicans on Capitol Hill, trying to pass a bill that would do both.

Well done, @underwood.house.gov. Elected officials must keep speaking directly to these criminal violators of our Constitution.
I asked Secretary Noem a simple yes or no question: “Do you believe the Constitution guarantees everyone in our country the right to due process?” She couldn’t give me a straight answer.

I don't get how anyone can possibly be okay with ending the WHI. This study has accrued decades of data from 42000 women and it is still going. It helps to address critical research gaps that have been allowed to go unfilled because of durable misogyny and provides invaluable insight into aging.

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.
That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.
So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?
