There is a special place in hell for lawmakers who cut benefits and safety net programs designed to help poor people while protecting the interests of the rich.

The next Democratic president can just impound the billions of extra ICE funding on day one, right? Withhold it without any explanation? Since that’s a thing presidents can do now?

A big reason Dems don't control the House right now—and this murderous spending bill is possible—is Andrew Cuomo, who fucked New York's congressional redistricting as governor and helped lose us seats in Congress.

Now, more than ever, it's important to remember that the majority of humankind is decent. The horrors being inflicted on all of us are being done by a fraction of a fraction. They have to work overtime to convince us that their fucked up views are popular. Don't fall for it.

Elon Musk casually, and illegally, dismantled USAID. According to a new study in the Lancet, that action will lead to *14 million* premature deaths between 2025 and 2030.
Again: Elon Musk is directly responsible for 14 million coming deaths. 4.5 million will be children.

Democracies use government as an instrument for the common good. Using a tax bill to destroy and deny health care for 17 million of our people is a sign of authoritarianism.
