Trump’s regime wants to put AI in charge of deciding which Medicare patients receive care — and they're giving AI companies a profit-incentive to deny coverage. Everything about this is sick and wrong, and Congress must take action. 👇

My wish for the day...

CW: Sexual assault

Women are being kidnapped and assaulted by men who impersonate ICE agents. This is one of many reasons why we can’t have a masked, unaccountable secret police force roaming the streets. Urge your elected officials to take action today: www.bluestatedefianc...

Little kids with brain cancer.

That’s who Donald Trump and RFK Jr. are screwing over by cutting health care.

Graphic with the text: 10 TRUMP ATTACKS ON KIDS 1. Made the largest SNAP (food stamps) cuts in history. 2. Limits school lunch for kids by imposing new red tape. 3. Reduces after-school and summer programs for poor kids by requiring extra paperwork. 4. Slashes the Children’s Health Insurance Program, which provides health care for half of all kids. 5. Rips health care away by making it harder for parents to cover their kids through the Affordable Care Act. 6. Takes money away from public schools, meaning larger class sizes and fewer teachers per student. 7. Guts Head Start, which provides early childhood education, health, nutrition, and other services to low-income children. 8. Undermines public health and vaccines. 9. Freezes funds used to train teachers. 10. Shuts down parts of the Office of Civil Rights, which helps kids who get discriminated against in school.

The party of “family values” is attacking our kids.

Now this is how I'll be talking about Labor Day to my MAGA relatives...

If you're on active duty or know someone who is, send them this warning!

Every military member is legally required to disobey an unlawful order if it violates the constitution, federal law, or international law.

The nuremberg trials established that "just following orders" is not a valid defense.

Robin Taylor (he/him) (@transfriend) Buy books. New, used, borrow them from the library, share them with your kids. I'm not just saying this as a publisher who wants you to buy the books I make, I'm saying this as someone who cares dee...

Uh, thanks for the laugh? I think he's a time traveler sent back in time after growing up after all the education funding was slashed.

Merlin-kitty likes to lick my hands. Sometimes he forgets that lotion makes them taste different. This facial expression happened right after he licked my hand.

If our votes didn’t matter, they wouldn’t be trying so hard to take them away.

On the 60th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, tell Congress to protect our freedom to vote by passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act: civilrights.quorum.us/campaign/110... #RestoreTheVRA

He is making our country UGLY.

Both sides are NOT the same.

Boxes are made for cats. Humans may foolishly try to use them for other things, but cats know better.

I am super excited about the staged reading of my play tonight!

Ex-U.S. military translator from Afghanistan arrested by ICE in CT. Attorney calls it ‘nonsensical.’ The 35-year-old husband and father of five was taken into custody by ICE agents outside a routine green card appointment in East Hartford.

Zia, an Afghan interpreter who risked his life to help U.S. troops, is being detained by ICE in Massachusetts.

He's been living in the U.S. LEGALLY for fear of retribution if he returns to Afghanistan.

Targeting Zia and other Afghan allies is dangerous and wrong.

Hang in there, Extra!

Today marks the 5-year anniversary of congressman John Lewis’ death. He wrote an essay to be published at the time of his death.

“When you see something that is not right, you must say something. You must do something. Democracy is not a state. It is an act…”

It’s worth a read 👇

Goodnight 💚
