Our men and women in uniform can see right through what the speaker is doing. They see a GOP House, a GOP Senate and a GOP White House blocking the way.

Here’s the deal, Mike Johnson, you worked 9 days since July, make $200K, and get best free healthcare we pay for, while shutting down ours.

Want it fair? Start with your paychecks. No work, no pay and no damn free healthcare for any of you. Let Congress feel the pain they dump on the rest of us.

Never forget that Mike Johnson has a history of covering for GOP pedophiles.

Before he ran for Congress, Johnson was attempting to open a law school named for Rev. Paul Pressler, the former head of the SBC, and a notorious abuser/rapist of teen boys and young men.

Johnson ignored the reports.

The GOP has become the party of grift.

The House Republicans Getting Rich Off Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill

Why is it taboo for Congress to give itself a tiny raise but fine for it to give itself a huge tax cut?

“So right now, armed, masked secret police are going around the country kidnapping American citizens, kidnapping people that are here legally, abusing people because of the color of their skin,” Platner noted. “It’s disgusting.”

Again, every time this happens, we literally have no idea if the masked, plainclothes people are actual government agents, or private citizens acting in party-affiliated paramilitaries. The whole point of IDs & uniforms & no masks is that we know these things.

Today, a thread to honor and celebrate #IndigenousPeoplesDay.
The world is so big, so there will be a second and maybe a third part.
We will begin with Zuni weaver We’wha (1849-1896).

🧵 1/20

Robin (she/he-ella/él) @merryrobin.bsky.social · Aug 27

We’wha (1849-1896), a notable weaver and potter Lhamana (Zuni Two Spirit), took on both masculine and feminine tasks as a Zuni cultural ambassador and pottery and textile artist.
Also a spiritual leader, We’wha endeavored to preserve the history, traditions, and knowledge of the Zuni people.

A black and white, full body portrait of We'wha, a highly respected cultural figure in Zuni culture, known as a "lhamana" (two spirits). We'wha is standing, looking at the camera, wearing traditional Zuni attire, with patterned clothing, woven belts, a long beaded necklace, and earrings. The hair is styled with side buns adorned with ribbons.

Neither the word "essential" nor the word "worker" describes a member of Congress. They are well-paid loafers and grifters.
