Deny them a quorum, refuse to vote for the funding bill coming up until Musk withdraws, do everything you can to resist. Stop with the photo ops, stop with the press conferences, and stop acting like we aren’t in the midst of a damn coup.

If they try to freeze payments, they can expect another lawsuit and another stay. This is absolute nonsense and the average American is too civically-illiterate to understand how dangerous this all is.

HALF of the kids seen at our children’s hospital in West MI are Medicaid patients. Kids with cancer, heart conditions, genetic diseases. They can’t wait to get care. This is despicable.

Trump’s White House is trying to say Medicaid payments will go out as planned - but if Medicaid isn’t covered by the spending freeze, why the hell is the payment portal shut down…? This is absolutely despicable.

β€œMy way” is that undocumented immigrants who commit violent crimes should be removed. I don’t think the vast majority of brown people commit violent crimes, as you seem to imply here in contradiction of your earlier statement.

I disagree. It would behoove ICE to devote its resources to flagging and deporting the - again - small number of undocumented violent criminals. Shifting their focus to immigrants who commit petty crimes stops them from doing this and is a waste of resources.

But it does, so that’s wholly unproductive to the points I’m making…

I realize that and don’t subscribe to the right-wing propaganda. However, ICE now has no ability to prioritize the small number of them who do violently offend.

First you vote to give Trump the authority to gut nonprofits, now you vote to shift ICE resources to pursuing immigrants who commit low-level crimes instead of violent offenders. You don’t care about our country or communities; you only care about your re-election bids. You are a disgrace.

There’s no new funding in the bill, so by default, they have to now shift their resources and focus from pursuing violent criminals to detaining any undocumented immigrant who commits a low-level crime. That actually *harms* their objective of reducing violent crime among undocumented immigrants…

Queer person here. They slaughtered us like animals, too, and their modern adherents want to do the same. I want to make sure everyone in my community knows what threats we’re facing, so I reposted the video. Information is power, and social media is how many get their news. Feel free to log off. ✌🏽

He did that with clear intention. This is who we’re up against - not Barry Goldwater Republicans or Reaganites or even Cheney-style neoconservatives; we’re up against actual Nazis.

In fairness, it seems like the refs are stretching the definition of β€œpass” when they rule that throwing the ball at the ground within 10 yards of your receiver counts…

Enough is enough. When do we all collectively decide that it’s time to actively and aggressively resist these attacks on our lives and well-being?

The fact that anyone saw fit to challenge these protections is nothing short of a fucking monstrosity, as is the possibility that they may be struck down. With each attack made on the piecemeal protections we have, the more I become convinced that mass civil disobedience is the only forward.

My relationship with Big wasn’t the only thing I blew up that day. At the Trinity test site I detonated the first plutonium bomb, unleashing a 22 kiloton blast. Had I become Death, destroyer of worlds? Meanwhile uptown, Samantha had her hands full with her own β€œManhattan project”

Instead of publicly giggling with the man Obama (rightly) branded as an existential threat to democracy. So much for the party of β€œresistance”
