No Kings protesters at the Iowa State Capitol

#NoKings #iowa #desmoines #dsm #indivisible

This is due to a law signed by Ronald Reagan and has nothing to do with this shutdown fight.

But consider this...

Emergency Medicaid spending in 2023 cost $3.8 billion — just 0.4% of total Medicaid spending.

Now what about the $20 billion taxpayers are giving to Argentina?

The same people who went apoplectic when asked to wear a mask to *protect people* in a pandemic eagerly wear one to *kidnap people* in Gestapo cosplay.

THIS should terrify everyone. Trump wants to steal the right to vote from all non-white bodied Americans, and further rig our system to help billionaires stay in power, and keep struggling Americans struggling.

AOC: Fox News and the right-wing would have you believe that these American values are something out of The Communist Manifesto. But let me tell you Fox News, I don’t believe in healthcare, labor, and human rights because I’m a Marxist.. I believe it because I was a waitress.

Pamphlet passed out to IA Reps that is also sponsored by Kim Reynolds & Joni Ernst. “How to understand America’s Deep Divide.” See the next two paragraphs I’ve included for more.

Women's Liberation: Satan knows that if he can get women out of their intended complementary role to their husbands that he will own the next generation, and that is exactly what is happening in America today. Children desperately need their mom's nurturing so that they are not hooked by Satan's schemes of drugs, sex, and… Continued in next graphic…

…slothfulness in their formative years which then often destroy their later productive years. The women's liberation movement largely disconnects from God's plan for necessary child incubation, bonding, and catechism. Again, if he can destroy the family, he can destroy the nation. Women's lib-eration, akin to male chauvinism, is a scheme of the devil.

Statement by: Rep. Elinor A. Levin: This was distributed to the desk of every lowa Legislator, authorized by our new member, Rep. Barker of Story County. It has, in previous years, been distributed by other representatives from the Republican caucus. This is the degrading, regressive perspective from which many of my colleagues are assessing the laws in our state. #electionshaveconsequences

Check out this pamphlet that was passed out and is also supported by Kim Reynolds and Joni Ernst.

Iowa Republicans are unhinged lunatics. You couldn’t make this bizarre shit up if you tried.

NH’s new ID requirements send some would-be voters home to grab passports, birth certificates The law requires all new voters to show proof of their U.S. citizenship. For some, that meant making multiple trips to and from the polls before finally casting a ballot on Tuesday.

As predicted, women in New Hampshire had a hard time voting yesterday because of the new proof of citizenship law:

“It doesn’t have my married name on it,” she said. Town voting officials then sent her away a second time, to get her marriage certificate.

Ames bakery serves a piece of the homeland for Ukrainians A garage bake sale turned into a farmer’s market fixture. Now, these Ukrainian bakers have opened a store on Main Street.

Looking forward to supporting this business on my next visit to Ames!🌻 www.iowapublicradio.org/arts-life/20...

I nearly missed this recent EO amidst the constant flood of atrocities. This is appalingly short-sighted, unpopular, and destructive. #conservation #publicland #wildlife #savethetrees

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

How Rich is Elon Musk? - Visualization of Extreme Wealth - Engaging Data This visualization shows how rich Elon Musk is by comparing his extreme wealth to other large quantities of money and showing them on the same scale.

Been thinking about this a lot lately, for no particular reason. engaging-data.com/how-rich-is-...

To say their staffers' responses were unsatisfying would be... generous.

I admit I took some creative freedom with the provided transcripts

NEW: I just moved to subpoena Elon Musk to appear before the Oversight Committee to answer for his unlawful takeover of agencies across the government.

Republicans blocked my motion without allowing any debate.

They will stop at nothing to cover up Elon Musk's lawlessness.
