US TRANS FRIENDS: Drop your gofundmes, venmos, whatever ways of supporting you you have, in the replies. Then go make sure you have plans with loved ones to deal with the worst. I love you all. We will get thru it CIS PEOPLE: Go through the replies and donate money to someone. Then reskeet.

It’s up to the discretion of RFK Jr to define what ”medically frail” is when it comes to potential Medicaid work requirement exemptions—which may play a huge role in deciding which chronically ill and disabled people could qualify. My latest for @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

motherjones.comRFK Jr. is getting personal authority over who to kick off of Medicaid“It's just a way of cutting people off of coverage and then blaming them for it.”

I have a trade deficit with Kroger. And Ikea. And my dentist.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

Please read and share. Musk is attempting to blame Ukraine for the X cyberattack, but word has already spread that it was a false flag. What is a false flag? A false flag operation is an act committed to disguise the actual source of responsibility and shift blame onto another party.

This is one of those "what would you do if" moments you talked about when you read Anne Frank. We cannot be silent. If you can't be in NYC (as I can't) please try to boost and let your networks and representatives know this is not acceptable!

My friend Olena and her three children had to flee their beloved Kyiv after the Russian full-scale invasion. They thought they had found safety in the US. Now, the new US administration is halting all support to Ukraine and is planning to deport 240,000 Ukrainian refugees there. Read Olena's post

The challenge for opposition parties is to remain competitive. Appeals to legalism and procedure are a waste of time; once the other side has demonstrated that they can break the rules and get away with it, invoking the rules is no longer useful. 2/3

In 1993, Alice in Chains was playing a show in Sweden. A man in started throwing Nazi salutes and trying to attack another fan. Layne Stayley, the late lead singer for the band, invited the Nazi onto the stage ... and then clocked him. Video at www.youtube.com/watch?v=af2B... #NaziPunching #NPotD

Yeah. During a presidential town hall, RFK Jr. said he would be creating “wellness farms” to send children and adults to in order to “organic farm” for “3-4 years” in order to ween them off opioids, Adderall, and antidepressants. He is talking about work camps.

Even the most disturbing RFK Jr. headline always manages to have a detail inside creepier than you could have imagined. I’m sorry, did you just say Black kids should have a chance to get “re-parented”???? Gift link wapo.st/4hW2xGI

We should organize a senate scream-athon where everyone calls and just unleashes a guttural yawp unto their voicemails/staff at an appointed time. Perhaps noon, daily? A nice little Loud Lunch. A Brunch and Bellow. A Snack and Scream.

the fascists are looking to rigidly define gender not just to punish trans people like they claim but to lay the groundwork for the oppression of all women. when gender is legally mutable, it is harder to use it to restrict people’s rights. they want to build a cage around you, made from our bones
