So LM get this straight…

Ghislaine Maxwell is in prison for trafficking girls to… nobody?

No client list, even though AG Pam Bondi literally said it was sitting on her desk.

2,000 names in the little black book, but the court sealed it and the media shut up.

I just saw this thorough analysis by @mediaanddemocracy.bsky.social of print media coverage of No Kings Day. Big takeaway: Local papers and the AP did a great job. NYT, WaPo, WSJ, not so much. Adjust your media diet accordingly. mediaanddemocracyproject.substack.com/p/no-kings-c...
"No Kings" Coverage. Local news outlets continue to outperform the New York Times, Washington Post and Wall Street Journal on covering the pro-democracy movement.
The New York Times, Washington Post and WSJ leadership continue to downplay mass demonstrations. Editors of smaller outlets do a much better job communicating the growing pro-democracy movement.

You could be on Medicaid right now, and not even know it — that's because it's called something different in every state.

So when House Republicans talk Medicaid cuts, they could be going after YOUR care.

Call your representative today.

Call this swamp thing what is is: an American concentration camp. Don't fall for the Trump propaganda AGAIN. Would Congress be on the verge of passing the ‘defund healthcare, don’t feed kids, double down on fossil fuels, make the rich richer bill’? My latest:

The alarm is real but $200 billion is not correct.

The bill gives $170.7 billion in immigration-related funding to be spent through Sept. 30, 2029, of which $75 billion goes directly to ICE, including $45 billion for detention. A $3.5 billion fund to states could be used for some detention too.

☎️ Call 202-224-3121, now. We are on the precipice of a murderous regime. I am not exaggerating. Call you member of Congress TODAY to tell them to vote NO on the $170 billion budget to imprison non-violent, hardworking immigrants in dangerous concentration camps.

Trump calls for deporting US citizens: "We also have a lot of bad people that have been here for a long time ... many of them were born in our country. I think we ought to get them the hell out of here too, if you want to know the truth. So maybe that'll be the next job."

Trump's concentration camps and ICE squads are supposedly targeting "aliens," but he's growing a system that could ultimately persecute many more people than that. Including you and me, perhaps, if we disrespect the regime.
If you think I'm being paranoid, maybe you just woke up from a 5-month nap.

What a beautiful poem to start the month!

I like the verb choices— that “death will” in the opening stanza— followed by “you are” in the closing line

What may be & what is—

President Trump owns 55 percent of Trump Intl Realty and he counts commissions earned at the firm as part of his own personal income. Now, one of the world's biggest pharma companies, in the midst of heavy lobbying push on tariffs, has listed a NYC condo it owns, with Trump's own realty firm.

Trump: "The G7 used to be the G8. Barack Obama and a person named Trudeau didn't want to have Russia in. I would say that was a mistake — you wouldn't have a war right now if Russia were in."
