In New Mexico, 22,000 federal employees and their families face uncertainty because of the Republican shutdown. Donald Trump would rather raise healthcare costs than keep the government open. (1/3🧵)

My law firm is currently litigating 55 voting and election cases in 25 states. I expect that we will add another 5-6 this week. Please pay attention to what is happening to see and fair elections and democracy in court!

Cleanse. So heartwarming.

The same gov't/military reported to have bombed aid vehicles, like WCK? And that's not even the half... These "accidents" keep happening. Curious that.

Can yall do me a favor and watch this? After you’re done please file a report with the Dental Board of California. She practices on both adults AND CHILDREN. Disgusting.

Bravo to New Mexico on two fronts: 📌 Universal Childcare for every family 📌 Special Session next week to address Medicaid cuts and exploding insurance premiums caused by Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill and to take on the corporate hospital crisis This should be nationwide!

I knew it!

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Anyone surprised by how LEOs are now treating unarmed citizens, even ww, but justified brutality against BIPOC engaging in peaceful protests and during arrests/stops, just know this is exactly what they've been building up to...yes, including ppl who say that their actions are justifiable.

"This isn't the America I know." Black people:

Saw this as a kid and still use the phrase "sounds vaguely important" liberally to this day.

This Blerd abides. 💙

Epistemic crisis. Notice how often Right Wingers lose track of time, especially who was president when something happened. They exist in an altered reality where facts are constructed to conform to their feelings of grievance and oppression.

I recall an ACLU lawyer having to defend the org representing the KKK/Skinheads in their right to free speech/assembly, and the importance of doing such a thing. I was raised with the belief that you don't have to like what your neighbor says/does, but you have to respect their right to do so. Yet-

Well, IIRC he did chase down a BM jogger and aim a gun at him, so it aligns with his 'tough on crime' sentiment. /s Yeah, many people thought and hoped he'd become a politician who redeemed himself from past misdeeds. He said/did the right things for a hot second, then poof 🤡.

🎵Look at what came in the mail🎵 Thanks, Aja @brat2381.bsky.social !

I was thinking about a Pearl Jam song this morning and just saw this. No amount of flag burning will ever be as disrespectful to the country and its people as what this regime is doing. The amount of older wm vets feeling a certain way about such things should be very telling. Shouldn't it?

See: “Solow Paradox,” also called “The Productivity Paradox.”

Trump attacks mail-in/absentee voting. Reminding you the concept was started to support military serving far from home. Millions of Americans are unable to go to polls. Disenfranchising them is anti-American. I produced this ad in 2020 with @markhamillofficial.bsky.social at @lincolnproject.us.

This is an action by TX democrats to protect the US Constitution from a blatant act of abuse of power and an act of corruption to disenfranchise voters,- & it is the only tool left for democrats to use, because it seems we don’t have an ethical, dutiful, faithful to the constitution majority SCOTUS.

She’s not wrong

300,000 Black women have left the labor market in a three month period this year, and it's estimated that the unemployment rate for Black women is as high as ten percent but none of this is getting much traction. So, I wrote about it on my blog. blackgirlinmaine.com/commentary/f...

PRISON GERRYMANDERING: the practice of counting imprisoned people as residents of the prison location—not their home—for political districting, boosting representation and voting power in those areas despite prisoners’ inability to vote.

1. On February 24, Extremity Care LLC, a company that sells very expensive bandages made from placentas, donated $5 MILLION TO TRUMP'S SUPER PAC Days later, Trump froze a pending rule that would BAR MEDICARE FROM COVERING EXTREMITY CARE'S PRODUCTS, which are overpriced & not backed by science.

I decided to watch "Sandman - Dream of a Thousand Cats/Calliope" (S1E11) before starting the next season, and in light of what has happened since, it feels like a confession and/or exposé.
