Hey fellow Iowans!

Here's the new tax plan Iowa MAGA Republicans Zach Nunn, Ashley Hinson, Marionette Miller-Meeks, and Randy Feenstra vote for yesterday.

They ALL voted to RAISE your taxes in order to give folks like Elon Musk and Donald Trump big TAX CUTS.

Call and email your Representatives.

Iowa joins lawsuit over federal gender dysphoria definition. Why are disability advocates alarmed? The Iowa Attorney General's Office has joined a lawsuit against the former Biden Administration for including "gender dysphoria" to the list of protected disabilities.

They "ask the court to permanently block enforcement of the Biden Administration's federal rule change, and to declare it unlawful. But what's alarming to parents is a section in the lawsuit in which the plaintiffs ask the court to block enforcement of Section 504 altogether."

These were my notes from the video:
1. Join ACLU'S People Power grassroots volunteering
2. Take the ACLU "know your rights" trainings for yourselves and others
3. Become a monthly donor.
4. Engage the broader ecosystem. Engage with sister organizations. Membership organizations can put you to work

Opinion | Don’t Believe Him (Gift Article) Look closely at the first two weeks of Donald Trump’s second term and you’ll see something very different than what he wants you to see.

"what the Trump administration wants — is to keep everything moving fast. Muzzle velocity, remember.

The impression of Trump’s power remains; the fact that he keeps stepping on rakes is missed. The projection of strength obscures the reality of weakness. Don’t believe him."

concentration camp;
a place where large numbers of people, especially political prisoners or members of persecuted minorities, are deliberately imprisoned in a relatively small area with inadequate facilities, sometimes to provide forced labor or to await mass execution.

Guantánamo has housed up to 780 prisoners - many without trial. 30,000 migrants? Look up the definition for concentration camp.

We Only Have Ourselves: The How-Tos and DOs and DON’Ts of Mutual Aid For all of humanity’s many, many flaws, one of our most redeeming characteristics as a species is an almost-universal desire to connect with one another. When terrible things happen and communities…

Mutual aid is not just a disaster response, it’s a way of caring for one another, building stronger communities, and preparing for whatever life may throw at us next. It’s a labor of love—and a way of life.

I put together a reading list (and words of advice) for LitHub: lithub.com/we-only-have...

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire
