Sen. Mike Lee (R, Utah) and Rep. Mary Miller (R, Illinois) have introduced bills in the Senate and the House to Redefine "obscenity" in order to outlaw adult content across the board (to include Romance Novels and spicy FANFIC)and make them a felony to produce and distribute. (1/...)
“In Texas, CDC funds to stem a measles outbreak weren’t available until after the crisis had subsided and two children had died. A project to protect Alabamans from raw sewage and hookworm was abandoned…Time-dependent surveys on HIV and maternal mortality were halted…”
Wielding Obscure Budget Tools, Trump’s ‘Reaper’ Vought Sows Turmoil in Public Health - KFF Health News
Through shrouded bureaucratic maneuvers, White House budget director Russell Vought and DOGE have quietly upended outbreak response, HIV treatment, and dementia care in communities across America.

While we now struggle against tyranny on two fronts in our government, we must continue to build skills and build the resistance.

Here are some resistance books I've been reading, and I hope the recs are helpful for you.

Some nights we sign off with hope and inspiration.

Tonight, we sign off with anger and betrayal.

To the senators who caved... twice... May you have the night you deserve.

And to the rest of you...
Rage, rage against the dying of the light

Night, folks 💚

We were united. They fucked that up.
It's a truly insane take to demand "unity" in the party when you all betrayed the party, you surrendered our power to the fascists, you betrayed the entire nation. @whitehouse.senate.gov

Remember: if you can't reach one Dem Senator from your state and they were part of the 8, see if your second Senator is a Dem. Mine are, so I called the other when I couldn't reach the first.

Please stop saying, "but Schumer voted no!"

This isn't how the Senate works. They had a conference this week where evidently there were enough Dems who wanted to fold. So they needed exactly 7 to take the hit, and chose the ones who are retiring or not up for reelection next year.

Cowards. Strategically having people who aren't up for re-election vote to kill the ACA so that the remainder can save some face.

@durbin.senate.gov So disappointed in you right now that I cannot coherently articulate it.

Pick up the phone. Do it now. I am calling my Senator's office til someone picks up. IDGAF it's after hours.
These are the senators at risk of caving.

Please call them - especially if you live in their state. Please tell them to not cave until you get guarantees on healthcare. (Not just empty promises from Rs)

What was the point in all this if Dems cave now without any guarantees?
Chuck Schumer and friends. #DoNotCave Red alert. Call these Senators.

Absolutely the fuck not.

Call your Senators and tell them to hold the line.

Read the rest of @parkroseperma.bsky.social's thread because the CR would include a national abortion ban. A thing we absolutely do not want.
Politico is now saying they have reached a deal. A handful of Dem senators are going to betray all of us. We must call email just in case anyone can be moved. And we must organize and remember: it is up to us to save us.

Democrats are coalescing around a bipartisan agreement to fund the government.

LOTR is one of my core fictions/fandoms. It's the series I can sit and read or watch and feel a sense of "home" (including all the extended material).

It is woven deeply in our cultural zeitgeist. 💜💜💜
“I don’t know that LOTR had such a huge hold on the general population as the other three. Like wildly popular with more bookish crowds, but general population not it as much” -OP

LOTR, 1954, (wider generational appeal) a masterpiece of literature and far more logically coherent than any of the 3
