The House will vote this week on the GOP's budget proposal, which includes massive cuts to Medicaid and food stamps to pay for even more tax cuts for the rich.
Call your representatives now and tell them to reject it: (202) 224-3121

For those keeping track, @nytimes.com ran the story today on the bottom of page A22.
Trump declared himself above the law today. Literally announced it. Pinned it to his feed for emphasis. The White House reposted it. All to underscore it’s not some passing thought, which would be bad enough.
It’s not the top story on any news site that I can find.

Let us be clear. A man adjudicated as a sexual abuser wants to put multiple men credibly accused of sexual assault/crimes (which they deny) in position of extreme importance. This movement has violence and deep misogyny at its core. This is deeply sick

I’m seeing accounts tagged with a warning sign saying, “Invalid Handle”. They typically post something stupid like, “erm I’m here”. Their profiles are new with little or no followers and a prof picture of a half naked female. I block all of these. Lots now that Bluesky is growing.
