By a vote of 76-23, S 1071 passes the motion to proceed to the motion to concur. Won't know who voted for this until the roll call is uploaded, but safe to say it passed with the support of at least 24 members of the Democratic caucus. (Rand Paul probably voted nay and Steve Daines has been absent).

ICE attacked another disabled protester today, spraying chemical munitions right in the face of someone walking with a cane. They claim they were conducting a targeted enforcement and she was “in the way”. They’re bullies & their enforcement is becoming a mass disabling event.

“If you were that sick you would be dead.” “If it were that bad you would get help.” “If you can post on social media you’re fine”. Disabled people are constantly subjected to “if” statements from people who have no concept how bad it can get & how little help is available

its kind of insane that we’ve been forced to watch rightwingers openly celebrate and taunt everyone over the death of people like trayvon martin for over a decade now and now they’re trying to grandstand over the one time it’s personally affected them and political project

Let me get this straight. I’m supposed to believe the “evidence” from the Utah shooting leaked from the same people who told us the Epstein Files are on my desk and will be released but the Epstein Files don’t exist were never here and they clearly show Epstein didn’t traffic girls to anyone. Ok…

This is the only way I've been able to keep myself sane lately. Please, bluesky, share your photogenic pets so I have something to paint. Furry or not, I would love to see. #dog #pet #art #exotic #watercolor #reptile #bugs #cat

I know, I know, but: The president of the US saying, literally, "we're going in" in reference to sending the military to an American city for no reason beyond terrorizing the local population should be the most immediately impeachable shit imaginable

Welch: Am American president talks to other American citizens like that, and propagandists come on TV and normalize this behavior. And nothing about this is normal. Nothing

I know this is not a unique observation but public health was basically created to deal with the Spanish flu, and then a century later COVID hit and killed twice as many people and our response was to destroy public health

Head of NASA Sean Duffy intends to destroy a satellite that collects key data on carbon dioxide and plant health, by causing it to burn up in the atmosphere. The U.S. Dept of Agriculture and private agriculture firms use the data to forecast crop yield, drought conditions and more.

It’s costing taxpayers $450/M annually & Alligator Alcatraz concentration camp is already flooding. Imagine a hurricane. People are going to die. There’s always enough money to hurt folks, but when it comes to public transit, low-income housing, schools, or public healthcare, “Sorry, we’re broke.”

Step 1: deporting undocumented people Step 2: changing status of documented immigrants to make them undocumented & then deporting them Step 3: Denaturalizing naturalized immigrants to deport them Step 4: Denaturalizing birthright citizens to "deport" them

Trump calls for deporting US citizens: "We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time ... many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that'll be the next job."

The only way this could possibly be exciting is if you already have servants handling these things for you and you would prefer to not pay them
