“An avidity to punish is always dangerous to liberty. It leads men … to misapply even the best of laws. He that would make his own liberty secure must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.” #ThomasPaine #NoKings

#medicaidcutskill #ProtectMedicaid Rob's life, like so many others who depend on Medicaid to stay healthy and stay in their communities--it's on the line. Rob had a few things to say about this yesterday:

My son Rob and his friends need your support! They rely on Medicaid not only for health care, but to stay in their communities. Please flood the Senate with calls! Thank you!

I’ve worked for decades to support my disabled son’s civil rights & now @govwesmoore.bsky.social has destroyed my trust with his budget that hurts both disabled people & family caregivers. He’s actually laying the groundwork to institutionalize people like Rob. #disability

Nation Stunned by Apparent Existence of Rule of Law "I didn't see this coming," said one American, echoing the sentiments of millions.

My thoughts exactly … the bar is so low for #SCOTUS right now—I’m surprised no one is wearing their MAGA hats in this official photo.

Little acts of disobedience: At Barnes & Noble today, I took copies of @anneapplebaum.bsky.social ‘s Autocracy Inc. & put them on top of the Frumpster coffee table books & Melania’s sad dark little book—I could have done the same with Timothy Snyder’s book. #autocracy #dontobeyinadvance

The funny thing about Christian conservatives or nationalists? They always seem to base their theology on the Old Testament, when the Gospels correct and refute quite a bit of the OT. If you don’t center the Gospels in your Christian theology, how, exactly, are you Christian? #HandmaidsTale #weird

I’m worried about all of us. I don’t know how this will all play out, but the length of the legislative process gives us some time to get critical things taken care of. And we need to fight back.

My son Rob depends on Medicaid’s Home and Community-Based Services to live at home and stay out of an institution. Home care also costs far less than a facility or institution. #Medicaid

I’m so tired of hearing that our government should be run like a business. It isn’t a business, it’s a public trust. Treat it like one.

If I could nominate celebrities to Cabinet positions, I think I’d go with the Avengers. Then again, they may be too busy to accept, given they’ll be saving American from itself. But can’t we have Deadpool for Speaker of the House instead of that Johnson guy? He’s no fun. #Cabinet #Avengers #Marvel
