Mom to two adults, staff to two oddball cats, social worker, mitten state dweller. Now a fair weather yooper. Slowly becoming bionic. Go green. Getting more and more pissed off.

This POS does one political stunt after another. He shouldn't be the house leader because he doesn't want to do the job.
Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."

CUOMO: I'm not used to seeing naked propaganda on a government website. Are you worried about violating the Hatch Act?

TURNER: We're not worried at all. This is about letting the American people know what's going on.

C: It's not true. That's why I'm bringing it up. That's why it's propaganda.

REPUBLICANS: “Jimmy Kimmel was not a free speech issue. It was a private decision.”

TRUMP: “I TOLD THEM TO CANCEL THAT SHOW! NOW I’M GONNA TAKE ALL THE FREE SPEECH ABC HAS! NO MORE SAYING WHAT YOU WANT ABOUT ME”

REPUBLICANS: “It is ridiculous to imply we are the party of censorship.”

Sometimes you just have to go north and sit by Lake Superior for awhile.

There is too much going on.

What this means in practice is that 14K trans people will have to quit their federal employee jobs and find jobs that cover gender affirming care.

In other words, this is a purge of trans people from the civil service.

Lavender scare.

Everyone who participates is responsible
20 Aug 25 -- Trump admin quietly enacts new ban of reimbursement for gender related care through fed govt's largest health insurer regardless of age. 8m fed & 2m postal employees of which ~14k are trans -- will be affected. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social
Trump quietly bans federal health insurance from covering gender-affirming care
The largest federal health insurance provider now bans coverage for gender-affirming care, but allows "faith-based counseling."

Pay attention to what just happened in Texas. A lone state rep decided the GOP’s demand that she sign a "permission slip’" allowing police surveillance was a step too far. She refused to leave the chamber—and her small act of defiance has lit up the state and the nation. My write-up in the replies.

Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts.

But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy.

In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states.

This is why unions are vital.

I did a deep dive last night on the Texas Republicans gerrymandered maps and what I learned was Donald Trump is in the Epstein files and refuses to release them.

I know a lot of US are getting burned out fighting against the Pedo’s regime and MAGA /GOP abhorrent behavior. But we must continue to fight. Our country's future depends on it. Pedo’s BBB will start after the midterms! Vote out every Republican

Freep story on the Detroit protests is back up.

They weren't huge, but they get a headline at the top of the page, and that's what matters. Call it a societal permission structure to be pissed off, even for those that think protests aren't effective.

Repetition is key. Drip, drip, drip.
Detroit ‘Families First’ rallies protest Trump immigration crackdowns, cuts to health care
The gatherings were line with numerous demonstrations this year following President Donald Trump retaking office.

This graph is astonishing. The people that bang on about “natural birth” and “women have been doing this forever without help” need to be forced to stare at this until their eyes water.

Protecting his stock portfolio while ripping away health care from 17 million Americans.

This is Washington at its worst.

We need to ban Congressional stock trading.
