I know the House GOP tax bill is toast in the Senate, but I still can't believe this language was 1) put in it at all and 2) stayed in the version of the bill that passed.
If this became law, it would effectively let Trump operate as a king, immune from federal courts holding him in contempt.

this is excellent work & contains call/email templates at the end with callouts for the specific legislative mechanisms democratic senators could use to kill this part of the bill.
read the piece. make the calls. there’s no earthly reason any senator’s phone should stop ringing in the near future.

STOP: Don’t panic–organize!
@thefreeradical.org and I consulted for weeks with experts about the bill attacking Medicaid for trans people.
We find that advocates can still kill the bill or mitigate its impacts through direct action and community solidarity. 🧵👇🏽

Don’t Panic–the Battle Over the Trans Medicaid Ban Is Far From Over. Here’s How To Fight Back.
While confusion and misinformation spreads on social media, advocates offer concrete strategies to stop the GOP’s genocidal attack on trans people’s lives through community solidarity and defiance.

Everybody tell me I was right about everything but especially the fucking malicious pro-colonialism butchering
It's so sneaky/sinister that Disney turned the ice cream guy into a native Hawaiian man. Lilo taking pictures of white mainland tourists is a kind of coping mechanism for being treated like an attraction/novelty, it's a vital part of her character. Disney clearly wants to defang the original film.

Here's the rule the House just passed for taking up its budget resolution -- with a provision preventing any House member from filing a disapproval resolution on Trump's tariffs through Sept. 30.
See #6. They're insulating Trump's tariffs from being canceled by themselves.

It’s been inspiring to see everyone come together for LA,,, but there’s one community I need to highlight.
Not enough is being done for the black families after the LA fires. Ive partnered up with GoFundMe and the BMAC to create ONE main GoFundMe campaign to immediately help those in need.

Can’t stress this enough:
Engage locally!
Engage locally!
if you are struggling with hopelessness or nihilism, the single best thing you can do is join a group of people and work together to do something useful. it could be giving people food, it could be building a civic app, it could be tending a community garden, it could be know your rights trainings.

Remembering the first day of my college seminar on the reign of King Charles I
The eminent professor asked us who has sovereignty in the USA
We all said “the President”
He cackled and said, “No! It’s the people, you authoritarians! It’s in the goddamn Constitution!!”
I never forgot that

I assume most people know this, but seems important to point out basic truths at this moment in time. There is no energy emergency in the U.S. The U.S. is the world's top producer of oil and gas at the moment, and the top exporter of gas, and U.S. oil and gas producers are making record profits.

FYI for Newskies, there’s a push here to add ALT to your images (you might notice it’s a lot more common then on Twitter). Many folks won’t repost posts that don’t have ALT on them. You can turn on an ALT reminder in your settings!
