Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets?
I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

SCOTUS just made it easier for states to block millions of people from accessing life-saving care — like cancer screenings, STI testing, and more. This move is a major step toward completely defunding Planned Parenthood. This is how abortion access gets taken away, without an outright ban.

That’s so mean 🤣
And yet, seems more valid than pawning off the nation’s forest reserves.
Lee’s land grab is beaten back for the time being, but the idea won’t go away.
It’s going to take sustained activism from public land loyalists to foil ill intent for green space, from local to national.

When facism runs out of money and collapses we are going to tax the rich so fucking hard.
I can’t wait to see all of the programs the heritage foundation has crushed be rebuilt even better—and I REALLY can’t wait for the heritage foundation to be decimated now and in every history book forever.
