In many areas, Planned Parenthood is the only maternity service

Regardless, South Carolina wants to prevent the provider from receiving Medicaid

For NON-ABORTION treatments

Like cancer screenings

Their case will be heard by the Supreme Court

The cruelty is the point

Supreme Court takes up South Carolina's effort to defund Planned Parenthood

The state cut off funding to Planned Parenthood because it provided non-abortion services to Medicaid patients.

SENATE DEMOCRATS HAVE STARTED A MARATHON PROTEST TO STOP THE NOMINATION OF RUSSELL VOUGHT

This architect of Project 2025 basically said he’d

VIOLATE US LAW

By taking money specifically designated by Congress

And use the cash to fund whatever Trump wants

CALL YOUR SENATORS NOW

Oh my G-d we’re back with this crap on Greenland again

Right after he started a fight with Panama

When-just a few days earlier-he mused about making Canada the 51st state

Does anybody if it’s possible to invoke the 25th Amendment

BEFORE a president takes office

No undeserved praise
No obeying in advance
No normalization
No sane washing

Just calling out a failed businessman, exceedingly corrupt president and convicted criminal for what he is

And-although you left out the $454 fraud judgment and sexual abuse verdict

Well done, @vanityfair.com

America's money goes to Hungary. To Argentina. To fund wars in Iran and invasions of Venezuela.

It goes to kill shipwrecked survivors. To ICE, who shoot US citizens and build concentration camps

Our money seems to fund death and destruction all across the globe

But it never goes to help Americans

Happy New Year

2025 will be tough

Nevertheless, I will do my DAMNDEST to fight for

Reproductive freedom
Climate justice
Immigrants rights
Voting rights
Affordable healthcare
LGBTQ rights
Racial equity
And democracy

I’m grateful for the community-right here-that I KNOW will fight alongside me

a fireworks display with the words 365 new days 365 new chances peace blessings and happy new year !!!

There are still good, kind, decent people in the world

You just need to know where to look

www.newsweek.com/florida-loca...

Florida locals defy Ron DeSantis by restoring Pulse rainbow crosswalk

People took matters into their own hands after the commemorative crosswalk was removed, and drew it back onto the ground.

The NY Times concludes that the ICE agent who shot Renee Good was NOT hit by her car

“the visual evidence shows no indication that..Jonathan Ross, had been run over..It also establishes-millisecond by millisecond-how Mr. Ross put himself in a dangerous position near her vehicle in the first place”

I'm here in Mount Kisco, NY to tell Donald Trump, Elon Musk and the GOP

HANDS OFF AMERICA

Much of the focus on today's events will probably be the large rallies in big cities

But make no mistake

It is the smaller rallies

The local rallies

That will be the backbone of this movement

You can't make it up

MAGA Congressman Derrick Van Orden-a huge supporter of the Big Ugly Bill

Who published this repugnant post cheering the fact that the law would gut Medicaid and SNAP

Is now BEGGING the Democratic governor of his state

To save the very hospitals that he just voted to close

Melanie D’Arrigo @darrigomelanie.bsky.social

This is from an actual Republican Congressman, from the party that is also locking kids in cages in a concentration camp in Florida, hoping they try to escape and get eaten by alligators. This is today's Republican Party.

Elon Musk said he’d cut the federal budget by $2 trillion

Quickly lowered this to $1 trillion

Now he’s down to $150 billion

And even THAT appears to be an overestimate of $92 billion

So-after firing thousands of workers and destroying government services

This clown will cut $58 billion

Maybe

We won’t notice it at first

Maybe an outbreak of cholera in southwest Kansas goes undetected

Perhaps the number of flu related deaths ticks up just a bit each year

But-ultimately, inexorably-the destruction of the CDC will lead to countless deaths

All because of two men

Trump and RFK, Jr

After Russia attacked Ukraine

-President Zelenskyy’s country stood as a barrier between Putin and all western democracies

-Providing aid to Ukraine boosted the US economy

-And Putin’s army has been devastated, greatly reducing his ability to hurt America

Has JD Vance said thank you once

Neither the New York Times nor the Washington Post published stories about Trump writing 200 unhinged posts on Christmas Day

The Kids Online Safety Act passed in the Senate with a 91-3 vote

But Mike Johnson made sure the bill didn’t come up for a vote in the House

So Mark Zuckerberg will make more money-by exploiting children

REPUBLICANS AREN’T ON OUR SIDE

They’re working for billionaires

apple.news/Aw6SBQHBuSt2...

Mark Zuckerberg and Meta got a big win. They have the House GOP to thank. — POLITICO

The billionaire and his company needed Speaker Mike Johnson's help to stop legislation that would have regulated social media for the first time.

In June of this year, DHS Spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin forcefully proclaimed on social media that Kilmar Abrego Garcia “will never go free on American soil”

Today he was released by a federal judge

He spent this evening with his family

In Maryland

If other Senators come to support Cory Booker and extend this effort indefinitely

Democrats can put a stop to Trump and Musk-at least temporarily

And that could save thousands of lives

THIS is the kind of fight we want from Democrats @schumer.senate.gov

If you can't do it

Get out of the way

Sen. Cory Booker @booker.senate.gov

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Live: Speaking on Trump, Musk, and America’s Moral Moment on the Senate Floor | Senator Cory Booker

YouTube video by Senator Cory Booker

I am thoroughly shocked, amazed and humbled that over 100,000 people have chosen to follow me on this site

I will do my utmost to meet the challenge

But if I can't

You can be sure that the incredible people in my starter pack will

Want to know why millions of us marched in #HandsOff protests today

Because-over and over again

Donald Trump has proven he’s a tyrant

Revoking the visas of students who are in America legally

-Without reason
-Without warning
-Without due process

As unAmerican as it gets

Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran.com

100,000+ people marched at the #HandsOff rally in New York!

During Covid

Donald Trump tried to withhold giving aid to Blue states

Because they didn’t vote for him

So it should come as no surprise

That as the LA fires destroy entire neighborhoods

Leaving thousands homeless and devastated

Instead of offering to help

Trump attacks Gavin Newsom

Mark Hamill @markhamillofficial.bsky.social

Hard to process the devastation I’ve witnessed in the last two days. Still in a state of shock for those who have lost so much in such a short period of time. #NoWords 💔

“When the German nation was, thanks to the inflation instigated and carried through by Jews, deprived of the entire savings which it had accumulated in years of honest work..when we were divested of the whole of our colonial possessions”

Adolf Hitler, 1939

There’s not much difference

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com

Trump’s primetime diatribe against immigrants is straight up unvarnished Nazi stuff

And to think

ABC settled the defamation case Trump filed against them

Despite having truth as a defense (when Stephanopoulos said Trump “raped” E. Jean Carroll, he was parroting a judge)

And really-what damages did Trump suffer to his “reputation”

NEVER OBEY IN ADVANCE

Appeals court upholds $5 million verdict against Trump for sexual abuse and defamation of E. Jean Carroll — POLITICO

On January 6, 2021

Donald Trump attempted a coup

He lied about the election

Ginned up a “fake electors” scheme

Tried to coerce election officials into saying he won

Threatened his own VP

And dispatched MAGA thugs to attack the Capitol

140 Capitol Police were maimed

Several died

Never
Forget

In their rush to destroy our government

The Trump administration fired the workers who keep our nukes safe

And-realizing how badly they screwed up

Are trying to rehire them

But can’t-because they don’t know how to get in touch with the fired workers

The incompetence is unprecedented
