If you want a repro clinic in LA dm me. This is devastating. Mississippi closed its only physical location. Birmingham AL will be the only physical clinic in the LA/MS/AL region.

Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain peopleβ€”How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?

We should indeed go big and go hard while also foregrounding the message that we're doing this to bring the Republicans back to the fairness table; that while we're at war, we are willing to negotiate a peace (i.e. federal anti-gerrymandering reform).

If they wanna play the β€œunfair representation to cement their control of the legislature game” you have no choice but to actually play it. And, boy, I don’t think the GOP is gonna like what happens if the Dems actually start to play their game.

If you put the DOGE guys on a desert island where the only way out was to say the magic words β€œI’m not sure what the answer is, let me consult someone who has worked on this problem for a long time” they would all starve to death

great movie and also: I really miss movie ads that sort of *challenged* you to sack up and buy a ticket so you can have an existential crisis.

The Trump regime is blocking release of the Epstein files after promising their release.
It's giving preferential treatment to child molester Ghislaine Maxwell in hopes she won't reveal Trump's connection to the scandal.
Keep reminding people about this. It matters.

That they're taking this up now is no accident. They want the VRA completely gone in preparation for the '26 mid-terms.

I honestly don’t think the national Rs pushing Texas understand how much fire they’re playing with.

If they tick off IL enough, and CA voters enough to change CA law, that’s every single member of the Republican delegation gone. All twelve.

If there are no rules, there are no rules.

Probably just a coincidence that Trump announces he’s stationing two nuclear subs off Russia because of war threats just hours after the worst jobs report in 5 years just dropped.

In keeping with White House traditions, it will be built by slaves (aka ICE "detainees").

When the Medicaid cuts happen and the shit really hits the fan, there will be massive pressure to put something like it back in place,

only this time, they will structure it to exclude Black and Brown people.

Because let’s be honest, that was always the rights real objection to government

Surely, a moment of reflection would reveal that you don't, in fact, *completely* agree with Fuentes.

Worth remembering that when activists pushed Biden to declare a climate emergency & use emergency powers to accelerate the clean energy transition, VSPs scolded them. Ha ha, that's crazy!

Fun update: Trump has claimed emergency powers to substantially slow the transition & no one said shit.

Political cartoon. President Trump is pictured in a suit, looking down and covering his ears. Jeffery Epstein is depicted ten times, peeking out from numerous places on Trump, including from inside his jacket pockets, behind his tie, and on top of his head.
