Donald Trump killed two of my constituents. He is a liar and should be ashamed of himself.
The state of the union is jesus fucking christ

trump blasts democrats for voting against his "big beautiful bill" which kicked 10 million people of their health insurance, took food away from literal children, and supercharged ice and cbp - all while giving enormous tax cuts to the rich.
below is a graph showing winners/losers from the bill.
"ICE ripped their family apart. When someone complies with the law and appears before a judge, they should not leave in handcuffs. I am proud to bring Raiza as my personal guest to the #SOTU to show how ICE is hurting families and terrorizing communities across America." — @schumer.senate.gov
A "Golden Age" where your premiums doubled, tripled, even quadrupled. Where 750+ hospitals face closure. Where 15 million people are losing coverage. And where billionaires got $1.5 trillion richer. Golden for them. A disaster for you. #SOTU2026
Rep. Al Green was holding a sign that reads "Black People Aren't Apes" at the #SOTU:
It's going to be VERY WEIRD when the "lowest, lowest, price for drugs" doesn't arrive by next year's #SOTU
I guess the "Golden Age of America" includes cutting #Medicaid
#SOTU
“DHS’ office for civil rights has two employees right now” Horrifying story via @juliametraux.bsky.social
I have to watch the State of the Union because I sinned in a past life and am
being punished by a vengeful God.
Crazy how every single man on the US men’s hockey team is a pathetic, degenerate loser.
One of the things that personally drives me crazy in the U.S. is how youth sports/athletic activities went from a part of the public good (municipal leagues and fields! rec centers! public parks!) to a privatized, expensive, highly competitive, highly structured pursuit for wealthy kids’ résumés
look at my country man, we’re getting out-No Kings’d by the fuckin’ british
Watching other countries actually make their leaders and powerful men face consequences with jealousy.
Rep. Delia Ramirez to DHS officials: "I have as much respect for you as I do for the last white men who put on masks to terrorize communities of color. I have no respect for the inheritors of the Klanhood and the slave patrol. Those activities were criminal and so are yours."
The show Heated Rivalry only exists because of an article by Rachel Kurzius inspired Jacob Tierney to reach out to Rachel Reid. Today @washingtonpost.com laid Rachel off.

Which is to say HIRE @curiouskurz.bsky.social and all the staff from @washingtonpost.com. This is bullshit.

ARLINGTON, Texas — Less than a month after demanding the release of a North Texas father detained by ICE, the disabled son of that man has died, the family confirmed.
The family is calling on ICE to release Maher Tarabishi so he may attend his son's funeral.
'The Los Angeles Police Department has released little information about the killing of Keith Porter, 43, and the ICE agent who shot him has not been identified.'
Kelly Hayes(@mskellymhayes.bsky.social), speaking tonight, recalls a Minneapolan today telling at federal agents, "you can't kill us all."
"I am grateful to the people of Minneapolis tonight," she says. "Their courage in the wake of this violence is a bright light for us to rally around."
TODAY, an ICE agent killed a person
ONGOING, ICE is using #Medicaid records to further terrorize families while expanding their mass deportation efforts
It would also give *Ryan Lizza*—who could, in theory, have leaked this info at any point over the last 12-16 months—a role in both RFK’s appointment and the untold preventable deaths. But Lizza either isn’t self aware enough to realize that or is too busy selling Substack subscriptions to care
For some context the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly report in addition to being just a good read, to quote wikipedia, "is the main vehicle for publishing public health information and recommendations that have been received by the CDC from state health departments. "
It’s hard to see this any other way than, public health is science that helps rich and poor alike, and rich people hate that.
Just in case: MMWR is a key frontline indicator for outbreaks. The first subtle hint of AIDS was in that publication. This is the pale horse that Death rides.
Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago:
"If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."
Have you witnessed ICE picking up people in D.C.? Did you film it or otherwise try to help? I’d love to chat with you for a story! I’m available on Signal at username maustermuhle.09. Thanks!
Something we *have* to do to build a real future is get people with disabled family members to make the connection that the politicians pass the policies that hurt them. If this breaks through to GOP voters with disabled family who then call their reps and say dont fuck with us? That’s not nothing.
