Mass shooters since 2018 who were transgender — 4.

Mass shooters since 2018 who were not transgender — 4,193.

Hope that helps.

Early release days. Last day of school on a Monday. The stupid Friday off the first week of June. This calendar is just awful. They hate parents.

Many millions of vulnerable Americans are due to needlessly suffer because of the unbridled greed of the Republican Party and their billionaire benefactors. And trust in our government and this economic system will continue to erode. Mark today as key in the decline of America.

Medicaid does the following:

-Provides 1 in 2 kids health insurance
-Keeps the majority of rehab and skilled nursing facilities open nationwide
-Until today, had a rule in place to ensure minimum nurse staffing for patient safety

This is the program the party of “MAHA” wants to gut.

every state needs to immediately make it illegal to claim law enforcement status without self identifying & providing ID and badge and make it a very very serious offense to do so. If they don't there will be anarchy, people are already not sure who is a fake and if the fakes are out killing ppl??

Ghouls

Its just fascinating to me that Medicaid fraud is treated like its SNAP fraud or benefits fraud when its one of the few welfare cases in which the person doesn't receive the cash from the government, the -provider- does, but all of the cuts are -patient- centric

A man stood outside the courthouse of Judge Hannah Dugan and spoke of the horrors that befell his family in Poland and Germany at the hands of the Nazis during WWII — and how we must fight to stop and eradicate fascism in America NOW.

“We know what fascism looks like…

All disabled people are deserving of life, love & care.

The narrative that “low functioning” people who don’t pay taxes, won’t serve in the military & can’t live independently are somehow expendable is deeply rooted in eugenics.

A person’s worth isn’t tied to their health or economic contribution

RFK Jr wants us to believe that chronic illness is a moral failing. That people should “try harder” to be healthy.

He doesn’t want us to realize that poverty, food insecurity, lack of universal healthcare, poor public health and other government failures cause more disease than lifestyle ever will.

Sen. Van Hollen: "I don't think it's ever wrong to fight for the constitutional rights of one person because if we give up on one person's rights, we threaten everybody's rights...Anyone who is not prepared to stand up and fight for the Constitution doesn't deserve to lead."

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?"

Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

Here is a reminder - the cuts to SNAP and Medicaid the House voted to support are not a done deal yet. This thread is an excellent tutorial on how we can still stop this.

If I had to reregister to vote, post SAVE Act, I'd need:
a $25 copy of my birth certificate,
a $5 copy of my name change,
a $3 copy of my marriage license,
and an $89 drivers license.

OR a $165 passport.

Not only is it a poll tax, it's also a pink tax.

Hey, @schumer.senate.gov :: you better not be playing cute with your language about stopping the SAVE Act. I hope you intend to VOTE NO ON CLOTURE, as opposed to what you did with the CR when you told us you'd vote no on the bill, but still voted YES on cloture. We are in no mood for games.

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.

If they can illegally send anyone to an El Salvador prison illegally and not bring them back, they can illegally send you to an El Salvador prison and not bring you back.

How can anyone defend this?

Up against the richest man in the world spending more than anyone's ever spent in a judicial race, Susan Crawford never wavered. Never cowered. Kept fighting.

A lesson, there.

cheese is woke now

Opinion | What Autocrats Want From Academics: Servility In 1931, Italian scholars were made to take loyalty oaths. Will that happen to us?

"On October 8, 1931, a law went into effect requiring every Italian university professor to sign an oath pledging their loyalty to the government of Benito Mussolini. Out of over 1,200 professors in the country, only 12 refused. All of them were immediately fired." www.chronicle.com/article/what...

Worst. Senators. Alive.

Fetterman, you horrific asshole.

I think I hate you most. I sent you MONEY, you douchebag.

You FAKE FUCKING POPULIST.

Eat shit, all of you.

I can't wait to see you ALL lose your primaries.

The way people act like they won’t actually cut Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security gives similar vibes to when they acted like they wouldn’t actually overturn Roe

Stop underestimating them

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

Medicaid covers about one-fifth of all hospital spending. There's a hospital in pretty much every Congressional district, and it's often one of the biggest employers.

How DOGE’s Cuts to the IRS Threaten to Cost More Than DOGE Will Ever Save The Trump administration claims gutting federal agencies will save money, but cutting the IRS means the government collects less taxes. “If you’re interested in the deficit and curbing it, why would y...

DOGE was never about saving money and eliminating fraud.

It was about eliminating all of the people and agencies who could prevent Musk, Trump, and their oligarchs from stealing money and committing fraud while they hijack the government.

It’s a coup.

This ad from @crawfordforwi.bsky.social is how to do it. 👇👇👇👇👇👇

This photo was blown into our yard during the Eaton Canyon fire. Anyone from Pasadena/Altadena recognize these people?

We're trapped in a game of Monopoly where oligarchs own all the property and the rest of us are simply making our way around the board trying to avoid financial ruin.

They've also bought the bank and the government, so they can change the rules to their liking.

It's game over or time for a reset.
