A 2019 report commissioned by Texas estimated flood prevention needs would cost over $30 billion. Since then, state lawmakers have allocated just $1.4 billion. By Lexi Churchill and @lomikriel.bsky.social, w/ @texastribune.org

"How does it feel to get arrested at 87 years old? He said "I'm just beginning!"

Breaking News: Mayor Ras Baraka of Newark, a Democratic candidate for governor, is suing a top Trump lawyer over his recent arrest outside an immigration detention center.

Couture: You've been paying that money into the system your entire working lives… That promise is being broken. When you see these offices being closed, that is limiting your access to services that you paid for

This work only matters if people use it to learn how to meet with the offices of their U.S. Senators and Congressperson and then go do those meetings. If you have any connection to Medicaid, please consider getting in the game, we're fighting to keep each other alive.

House GOP Leadership just announced they want to cut at least $880 Billion from Medicaid. This webinar covers how to meet with the office of a Senator or Congressperson to advocate for Medicaid. These meetings are a way to take your advocacy to the next level, and are incredibly important.

If you've ever used the Polity data, read this from Monty Marshall. tl;dr Polity is coding recent US events as an executive self-coup and an adverse regime change.

It is actually genuinely funny that the Army looked at the Executive Order and said "no"

If you have student loans: file a complain for violation of FERPA. Start a lawsuit too. DOGE violated your rights

"Today we were informed by the White House that if AP did not align its editorial standards with President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, AP would be barred from accessing an event in the Oval Office." www.ap.org/the-definiti...

Correction: it was not last-minute.

I don't give a shit about credit. I'm very aware lots of people hate me (sometimes they send threats!) The only thing that matters now is efficacy, spread StopRFKjr.com among your circles. Try to get a couple of your people to call this weekend. Take all the credit.

I do want to keep pointing out that there are hard core conservatives, including Leonard fucking Leo, opposing the RFK Jr nomination, we believe their coalition is fracturable. It's important to call GOP senators.

And now to start a needlepoint project for a friend.

I no longer expect the world to give us joy. we have to take it.

Reporters: Please stop calling things DEI that are not DEI. This is only cementing the propaganda being used to legitimize the dismantling of all types of initiatives that are not DEI as well as legitimize efforts to end civil rights enforcement. Be specific with your language. Be accurate.

There is no point in chasing every piece of rage coming out the Trump admin. In fact it's going to help them. Pick a topic you care about the most. Something you understand. Start sharing knowledge w people *in your real life* & find other like minded people so you can turn it into action.

for anyone thinking of deleting all social media cause they are skewing more right. please read this before you do.

@aoc.bsky.social e-mail going after TikTok & social platforms collaborating with Trump - with a shout out to @bsky.app

Talking about the TikTok ban is actually turning out to be a pretty effective in road to talking to people in my rural community about distrust of the government because Tammy Lynn is pretty pissed about losing all her recipes.

It’s important to be clear that TikTok could have stayed up through the inauguration. Joe Biden said he’d not enforce the law. They made a choice to shut down and display a pro-Trump message. They weren’t forced to.

confession: i post fewer pictures because i feel like i suck at writing alt text. i feel bad that i sometimes forget to do it at all, and somehow worse when i try and i don’t think i’m going it right (yes i have looked up how)

Simon decided we didn’t need this combat after all

If a prominent figure is making a big stink about something crazy (like, I don't know, buying Greenland), a reminder that it's worth going past the smoke and figuring out what else has happened that they might need to distract you away from.

note to self: use that Costco membership way more frequently in 2025

🚨BOYCOTT STARBUCKS🚨 Union baristas are calling on EVERYONE to NOT buy from ANY Starbucks store between Dec. 20 -Dec. 24 while the workers are on strike! Here’s how to support: x.com/sbworkersuni...

why is my type “mentally unstable writers named chris with spinal injuries” and why do they keep getting weirder no seriously this is like half of my exes and even my current/the keeper, it’s weird and i don’t go looking for any of it but here we are

The working class is under no obligation to mourn the deaths of those trying to kill us.

You may be paying a higher tax rate than a billionaire. Our story from 2021:

The United States has the highest GDP in the world by *ten trillion dollars*. It's not even close. Americans should retire at 60 w/ full pension. We should have free universal healthcare. We should have free PreK-PhD education. This belt-tightening ideology is a neurotoxin limiting our potential.

my partner and i each having our own bedroom is the best healthy relationship strategy i could have imagined. we sleep so differently, it’d be miserable for us to share a room. instead, we actively choose time with each other daily and it’s wonderful.

We shouldn’t accept that a CEO killer must get a national manhunt when cops don’t solve most murders at all. A migrant teenager was just murdered in NYC, cops just killed a guy here — the lives of these other people are worth just as much as that CEO.

God i love @propublica.org so much

Sorry for the delay, Evicore will let us know within the next three weeks whether I can provide any thoughts or prayers. We should level set on this now, though, thoughts AND prayers will almost certainly not be approved.

The next CEO of UHC should have to have the crime scene photos above his desk as a reminder.

Good thing he died; UHC would have denied his claim. Yes, I said what I said. UHC nearly killed my wife. So Fuck him!

in 2022, my partner had 3 spinal surgeries over 3 days he was yeeted out of the hospital 3 days later, with just enough OT to ensure he could transfer between his wheelchair & toilet, & ZERO aftercare UHC denied every possible option that would have helped him get good results from those surgeries

A savage and true description of our current state. Unfortunately, Meta & other social medias shadowban & throttle accounts that talk about these issues, so they are 100% complicit in the coverup. But here on Bluesky & Substack, we're keeping our eyes wide open.

seeing a lot of people fighting over whether or not it's ok to be glad a healthcare CEO was murdered instead of looking at why people are glad and what it says about our country

United Health just deleted this page from their website lol

UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was one of several executives under investigation by the DOJ for insider trading when he was killed. Thompson, plus the UnitedHealth chairman, Chief People Officer, and Chief Accounting Officer had sold a combined $101.5 million in shares.

okay fine murder is bad, but also if you see which way a guy ran after he murdered someone with this much blood on their own hands, no you fucking didn’t.
