Thinking of how I can trick romance authors into promoting their books with a one sentences description of what actually happens again. We gotta ease off the trope only vibes. WHAT HAPPENS!

anyway, in the wise words of @prisonculture.bsky.social :
a medieval-style digital art piece. In the center, there’s text reading “Let this radicalize you rather than lead you to despair.” written in black gothic script, with a colorful blue, pink, and green dragon hanging upside down acting as the capital L. There is also a smaller red, blue, and yellow dragon as a filler at the end of the text. There’s a thin, blue and white border around the edges.

Once again, attacks on trans people are following the anti-abortion playbook: excluding abortion from Medicaid was one step in the long road leading to total abortion bans.

The bill wouldn't just cause millions to lose their health insurance, it would also:
*ban Medicaid coverage of non-abortion care at Planned Parenthood
*ban Medicaid coverage of ANY gender-affirming care (yes, adults)
*block marketplace insurance plans from covering abortion or gender-affirming care
House Passes 'Big, Beautiful Bill' That's a Vicious Attack on Abortion and Gender-Affirming Care
The budget bill would "defund" Planned Parenthood, closing nearly 200 clinics, and prohibit Medicaid from covering healthcare for transgender people, no matter their age.

Did y'all hear about Elon Musk new $2 BILLION FAA contract?

Conflict of interest . . .👀

Instead of Republicans taking jobs and programs away, they need to be investigating this—but OH RIGHT—they report to King Musk.

In the piece below, I talk a lot about mass messaging (posters, stickers, etc.) to keep the focus not just on enmity towards Trump and Musk but the impact of their actions. In case it's helpful, I put together some examples! Not perfect, but they get the job done (feel free to steal/share)
Poster on purple background. TEXT: are you sick? Musk and trump don't care if you die. There are two QR codes-- the left one is to learn more and the right one is to take action Poster on RED background. TEXT: TRUMP 2.O Musk gets richer, Head start kids and dialysis patients food the bill. There are two QR codes-- the left one is to learn more and the right one is to take action Poster on blue background. TEXT: Musk and Trump want to defund your kids' school. There are two QR codes-- the left one is to learn more and the right one is to take action Poster on black background. TEXT: Musk and Trump are screwing over working families. There are two QR codes-- the left one is to learn more and the right one is to take action

Trump will be the NFL's special guest this Super Bowl Sunday. **Please** watch and share this 10 minute clip from my doc "Behind The Shield" to **remind** folks how Trump dragged anti-racist players like Kaepernick in 2016-2017. His smirking presence is a slap in the face.
