I hope the protesters are okay.
I’ve said this before and I will probably say it again, but we forget so easily that everyone from history we look back on as the face of some movement had something else they wanted to do with their lives. I think every day about the fact that all Fred Hampton wanted was to play for the Yankees.
Okay I NEED this
Thought we were attempting to reduce the federal deficit? Instead, Trump’s proposed budget plan is projected to significantly increase it.
I have never related harder to one of your newsletters. I, too, have lost entire days to Civ. 🫠
This is also a VERY useful stat sheet for calls tomorrow reminding your members of Congress how many voters they just voted to fuck over in favor of billionaires.
The House will vote TODAY on whether to advance devastating cuts to Medicaid that would destroy lifesaving programs for people with disabilities, children, seniors, and more.
Call your representative now and tell them to save Medicaid at (202) 224-3121.
Budzinski: "We saw just yesterday another round of layoffs at the VA -- 1,400 more people. When we're trying to address veterans suicide rates, when you're cutting jobs for folks that are actually answering those suicide hotlines, how is that in the service of our veterans?"
The Department of Veterans Affairs has terminated over 1,400 employees.
URGENT: The House is set to vote tomorrow on whether to advance $880 billion in cuts to Medicaid — eviscerating essential programs that provide lifesaving services for people with disabilities, children, seniors, and more.

I have been so excited since I found out this would be announced today! RIP any ability for me to concentrate: www.apple.com/tv-pr/news/2...
Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance.
Democracy requires your courage.
What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!
This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement.
