Any *normal* U.S. political era would consider “radical leftists” to be moderates. MAGA & GOP made a hard right (not that they weren’t terrible already) and claim opps are radical leftist monsters. They keep moving the center right—right into fascism.
Here's your periodic reminder that political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

Phasing out NIH’s HIV clinical guidelines is flat-out immoral and unethical.
These guidelines drive early diagnosis, ART initiation, and viral suppression—82% linked to care within 30 days, 69% virally suppressed by 6 months.
Removing them puts millions of lives at risk.

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee:
“Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

If one of us stands up, they can pick that person off. If ten or a hundred or a thousand, they can pick those people off. And they're picking off people--immigrants, dissidents--to make an example of them. But if ten million people stand up, they cannot stop us all.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.
There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP
Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

I love you, Liz. However, I am ready for the Dems to be primaried. There should be a nightly broadcast by the Dems reporting what the republicans did and what they did in response (seems like nothing). Fighting Project 2025 was a key point of Harris’s platform. Why weren’t the Dems prepared for it?
Warren: "Our best strategy is to make sure everybody knows exactly what the Republicans are trying to do, and that is they want to give literally trillions of dollars in tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires, and they want to pay for it on the backs of seniors who are living in nursing homes."
