Keep that wave receding!
9. Despite the pleas of centrist consultants urging Dems to abandon trans people, it was those who targeted them who saw electoral fortunes collapse. For the first time in years, trans Americans can breathe and see evidence that the wave of anti-trans panic aimed at them may finally be receding.

(And I appreciate the accurate statistics about how many people who get SNAP are employed, are kids or have kids, are seniors, and/or have disabilities. But even for those who aren’t, that’s fine with me! If you can’t afford to eat, that’s a societal failure, and a societal response is appropriate.)

Trump and Republicans made devastating cuts to Medicaid and plan to let vital ACA subsidies expire.
Millions on Medicaid will lose coverage. Millions on ACA plans could see premiums rise by 114% per latest estimates.
Every lie told about the shutdown is meant to cover this up.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

I don’t think a lot of people realize that the hatred being drummed up for trans people is a distraction.
This hatred is being used to cover up any number of ills, from the actual results of tariffs, to Musk’s attack on our government, to the restructuring of our entire country.

@theferocity.bsky.social Saeed, may I trouble you for some pearls of wisdom? I am feeling a great amount of despair today. Very what’s the point. I’m so over being ruled by classist elites who are more interested in filling their coffers than do anything to help us.

Jerry Lawson invented the video game cartridge. He's the reason they stopped making pong consoles in the 1970s. If it weren't for him, the Atari 2600 and many others would literally NEVER exist at all.

ICE is trying to deport Native American people to Mexico. This one from the Mescalero Apache Tribe.
That's right. People indigenous to the United States, tribal members. ICE is trying to remove them from the US.
This is the second verified incident I've heard about.

This week on #VibeCheck, Sam and Zach talk about what it’s been like living through the wildfires in LA and then they have a conversation with former incarcerated firefighter, Royal Ramey, about his experiences in an inmate fire camp. Also, I send a voice message from Vermont where I’m teaching rn.
