It never stopped being birtherism Donald Trump is repackaging a familiar smear against Zohran Mamdani.

It πŸ‘ Never πŸ‘ Stopped πŸ‘ Being πŸ‘ Birtherism πŸ‘

Even by the standards of the Trump era, this talk of terrorism and denaturalization is despicable stuffβ€”rank religious bigotry mixed with naked authoritarianism.

Don’t let the name fool youβ€”there’s nothing beautiful about a bill that guts Medicaid, slashes public services, and hands tax breaks to billionaires.

The β€œBig Beautiful Bill” is a direct attack on the working class. #HandsOffMedicaid #ThisBillKills

The Senate's β€œBig, Beautiful Bill” will create a disaster for rural moms and babies Medicaid cuts could lead to the shuttering of maternity services at more than 140 rural hospitals.

Women and babies who live in areas that voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump are likely to suffer some of the most sweeping and damaging effects of the "Big, Beautiful Bill."

Statement from DSA's National Political Committee. DSA Condemns Trump’s β€œBig Beautiful Bill” and Calls for House to Vote β€œNo”
July 1, 2025. 1 of 4 The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) condemns Donald Trump’s so-called β€œBig Beautiful Bill”, and with its recent passage in the Senate 51-50, we urge all people of conscience to call their representatives and make their voices heard.

This bill would be one of the largest cash grabs by the billionaires in world history.

This bill supports massive cuts to Medicaid and will lead to as many as 17 million poor and disabled Americans losing their Medicaid and accessible healthcare cuts to rural hospitals and nursing homes will target our most vulnerable.

How a β€˜Goon Squad’ of Mississippi deputies got away with years of brutality A β€œGoon Squad” of Rankin County sheriff’s deputies spent years brutalizing people until their reign of terror was exposed.

Beatings. Choking suspects until they confess. Shooting unarmed people.

On this week’s Reveal, reporters from @mississippitoday.org and @nytimes.com reveal the yearslong reign of terror of a group of sheriff’s deputies in Rankin County, Mississippi.

Gavin Newsom's MAGA drift is here In suggesting that Democrats were wrong about trans athletes and cozying up to MAGA favorites, Newsom's presidential ambitions are more craven than ever.

Gavin Newsom’s thirst for the presidency may be as longstanding as it is humiliating.

But @inaeoh.bsky.social writes that there's something especially craven about these new remarks, as they come at a moment of immense danger for the vulnerable groups he abandons with such clear ease.

The SAVE Act Is Voter Suppression Disguised as Election Integrity - Ms. Magazine The SAVE Act Is Voter Suppression Disguised as Election Integrity. It Will Hurt Women, Black and Low-Income Voters the Most.

The SAVE Act will require voters to provide unnecessary documentation to vote.

This bill would make voting harder for people of color, women, and low-income people β€” groups of people who already face more difficulties at the polls.

Trump cabinet officials embrace far-right influencer who has praised fascists Jack Posobiec hailed Francisco Franco and Augusto Pinochet as role models for the MAGA right.

Let’s be clear: This is yet another sign of the Trump administration’s crystal clear embrace of authoritarian ideas, practices, and influencers.

Trump said he hadn’t read Project 2025 – but most of his early executive orders overlap with its proposals | CNN Politics A CNN analysis of Trump’s first week in office found that two-thirds of his early executive orders and actions appear closely aligned with Project 2025’s plans.

We read Project 2025.

We spent the last year preparing for this moment.

We're fighting back.
