Just a reminder that authoritarians use the vulnerabilities of liberal democracy against itself, including concepts of "free speech" and the "healthy exchange of ideas."
They do not value these things. They are not sincerely held principles. They're cudgels and they will erase them once in power.

It’s almost the same way that an invading force treats the citizens of the country it invades. It’s almost like they don’t give a singular fuck about Americans at all. Isn’t it?
ICE officers stopped a family at gunpoint and smashed the car window on top of the newborn baby. “I was screaming that there was a baby,” cried the mother. “But they didn’t care,” and covered the baby with their bodies, fearing that the glass would hurt him.

Revlimid has its origin in a pill that cost patients $7.50 each.
Decades later, the cancer drug costs more than $18,000 for a month’s supply — even though it still only costs about 25 cents to manufacture.

The fact that we have people legitimizing bigots by saying "parents have legitimate concerns about trans people" is where I start to lose my shit. NO THEY DON'T. Their concerns are completely not legitimate just like when they were afraid of gay people and black people in bathrooms/sports etc!

I don't think most Americans realize how hard tariffs are about to hit them. The combination of 1) escalating tariffs, 2) companies slowly passing the cost to consumers, and 3) the repeal of the de minimis exemption in the Big Beautiful Bill, a lot stuff will be more expensive in 2027.

This is a crisis. While I have very little confidence in this administration, I'm calling on POTUS to intervene.
No one should starve or die from disease when aid is sitting across the border.
Let all humanitarian actors get aid into Gaza. Make sure it can be delivered safely.

If your only solution to address the "root cause of homelessness" is to herd all of them into facilities and leave them there, then no, you have not addressed anything other than shifted some deck chairs on the Titanic. You resolved nothing.

With everything going on at a federal level, I do hope that everyone in Washington state is paying attention to local elections. Even more so than usual, corrupt billionaires are already to their usual BS. We need progressives running for these seats. If not, we need to block the GOP at minimum.
