Grijalva, who won a special election to replace Rep. Raúl Grijalva, her late father, is the first Latina – and “first Chicana,” as she said — to represent the state of Arizona in Congress. Though she is the first, she said she won’t be the last. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Trump Still Polling Well With Working-Class American Pedophiles https://theonion.com/trump-still-polling-well-with-working-class-american-pedophiles/

Quite a read the day after the Epstein emails

I had the honor of making this painting for Guillermo del Toro's Frankenstein.

The Trump admin is about to cut housing grants for the formerly homeless. HUD plans to cut aid for permanent housing by 66%, slashing over $2 billion and leaving 170,000 people at risk of homelessness again. Everyone who would be affected is disabled, and many are 50 or older.

This is unsurprising. Also, “but leisure time? Is that an English phrase?” Chomsky once told me he didn’t nap because “naps are for the bourgeoisie.” If you want to show solidarity with the poor and working classes, drop the disingenuousness and own up to your privilege, my god.

You just know that “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” bit would have done NUMBERS in this little clique

The Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights has launched investigations against school districts for teaching lessons on systemic racism and hosting empowerment gatherings for students of color.

Just saying.

This is a VERY interesting read, now that I've had time to sit down with it, and it has me thinking about the interactions of learning abilities, especially dyslexia, with how we teach reading.

"There are people who have been living in those units for five years, eight years. No one can wrap their head around the idea that HUD is about to kick 170,000 vulnerable people out of their homes. People don't know what's about to hit them." — Ann Oliva, National Alliance to End Homelessness

This is far worse than anyone expected. Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps. All as mass internment camps are being built.

We're in the "raping young teenage girls isn't pedophilia" part of the cope from MAGA. These people are evil.

Among many other things, Pinker aided in Epstein’s legal defense.

I honestly don’t know what to say anymore. It is overwhelmingly clear at this point that the Republican Party has sold its soul to protect a child rapist, led by wealthy ghouls who will never have enough. There is only one war, now and forever, and it is the class war. There must be consequences.

Can none of these millionaires sex criminals write in full sentences? Have you heard of paragraphs? Punctuation? No wonder ChatGPT sounds like a genius to these clowns.

The Trump-endorsed, TPUSA-backed Republican candidate for AZ Governor and sitting Rep. Andy Biggs on today’s release of Epstein documents: “This is slander!”

bro they were celebrating Thanksgiving together in *2017* this is after the plea deal and while he was President

just checking are there any rich powerful white dudes not in these emails

do we think Noam Chomsky asked epstein for help getting linguists that dissented from his theory blackballed by hiring committees or was that just him on his own

The Epstein stuff is always so amazing to me because it's like "yes he was a sex criminal but if you can get past that, he was also an avowed eugenicist"

May we never forget that Steven Pinker is a degenerate.

This is LAYERED.

A reminder that the crises routinely treated as separate—housing, food, climate, healthcare, electricity—are anything but. This moment in America makes it glaringly clear: each feeds the other, driven by the same rapacious, profit-maximizing forces.

Adelita Grijalva is FINALLY sworn in and is now officially a member of Congress

EMAIL THREE:

“OF COURSE HE KNEW ABOUT THE GIRLS”

The new Epstein emails are the most incriminating evidence to date on Trump & Epstein & let's be clear, there has been plenty of incriminating evidence for many years. So, can we stop treating this like a process story and start focusing squarely on the likelihood Trump is a pedophile sex criminal.

Breaking: Mike Johnson just announced that he'll swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva on Wednesday at 4pm ET.

Abolish ICE, Abolish the Border, Abolish the Police Reading List

Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari of Arizona’s 3rd District describes the “horrific conditions” she witnessed inside the Eloy ICE Detention Center near Phoenix — including a leukemia patient “vomiting blood,” detained in February and forced to wait eight months before finally seeing an oncologist...

“what’s the point of standards?” asks a woman who tripped ass-backward into a huge job for which she is breathtakingly unqualified

Mark Kelly notably declines to endorse Chuck Schumer as the leader of Senate Dems going forward

Idiom Origin “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” This was originally *sarcasm* & meant to convey that the act was impossible. A boot strap is a loop used to help put your boot on. This 1921 cartoon from the “Nonpartisan Leader” showcases that you can’t pull upward on your boots to levitate.

So, listen, call Schumer’s office no matter where you live, no matter if you’re registered to vote. Leave a voicemail that says if Senate Dems cave without an ACA premiums fix, you will never vote for or donate to another Senate Democrat as long as he is Leader

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.
