DO NOT CAVE!

Literally every dem should be shouting from the rooftops that republicans are giving Americans two choices: die from starvation or from a lack of affordable healthcare.

@dittmerforcongress.bsky.social so excited for a breath of fresh air candidate for SC District 5

Trump Officials Move Into Military Residences in D.C. Area Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth moved into a home at Fort McNair traditionally reserved for the Army’s vice chief of staff. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and others also now live in military housing.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and several other Trump officials are using Washington-area homes built for senior members of the military. Some former residents are worried that the break with tradition could make it more difficult for some admirals and generals to find affordable housing.

When all of these cruel people are up for re-election, these tweets need to be on every single campaign flier by their opponent.

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated.

Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.”

This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

Whatever is or isn’t “beneath ICE,” assault is a criminal act. That’s why @repdangoldman.bsky.social and I referred this ICE officer for felony prosecution.

We aren’t holding our breath for Pam Bondi to uphold the law. But we won’t stop demanding accountability. drive.google.com/file/d/1FujS...

Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher.

Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

Important. Clear, concise, imperative. Please watch.

how I want my tax money spent.

The bans on books by and about BIPOC and queer people should be doing this already.

But as much as folks have shouted for years, there's still a helluva lot of silence so.

Disappointing vote by the board. While I like that they are keeping the books on shelves adding the restricted access to teens to the books is still censorship.

An author responds: Why is sex so scary to book banners? • SC Daily Gazette Commentary from Malinda Lo, the author of one of the books the State Board of Education ruled must be pulled from K-12 library shelves.

My National Book Award-winning novel Last Night at the Telegraph Club was banned statewide in South Carolina because it includes descriptions of "sexual conduct." Why are book banners so scared of sex? I wrote about this in the @scdailygazette.com today.

People in states with abortion bans are twice as likely to die during pregnancy The risk is greatest among Black women in states with abortion bans, according to a new report.

People in states with abortion bans are twice as likely to die during pregnancy. This is true for SC. Our maternal mortality rate went from 8th highest in the nation to 7th highest after politicians banned abortion here. But legislators truly don’t care. @19thnews.org

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Black, brown, & LGBTQ folks need to be respected when they say they don’t want to play games with this regime. They are visible targets. Honestly, white people who are native born need to lead this charge and move from talk to action. Protect our peers who have much more to lose!

Nancy Mace holds town hall in Beaufort County. The general public wasn't invited. Nancy Mace speaks at a town hall in Beaufort County, though general public was not invited to event at Dataw Island, a private, gated community.

An invitation-only event in a private, gated community is not a town hall 😒

A graphic of book covers—books to read instead of Harry Potter. The nine books are: Wilderlore The Marvellers Nevermoor Amari and the Night Brothers A World Worth Saving Onyeka and the Academy of the Sun Witchlings The Troubled Girls of Dragomir Academy The Incorruptibles

JKR is 🗑️ and Harry Potter is not worth the nostalgia if it hurts trans folks…

So try one of these (even better) books to fill that hole in your heart!

Similar vibes (magic, friendship, found family, and/or boarding school) but significantly more inclusive!! About 2/3rds of these authors are queer:

Trump is Crashing the Economy ... And his Presidency Raising prices when everyone is mad about high prices is pure political self-destruction

In my overly long political career, I have never seen anything as substantively inexplicable or politically suicidal as Trump’s decision to sink the economy and raise prices immediately after being elected to improve the economy and lower prices. www.messageboxnews.com/p/trump-is-c...
