When someone is shown to be abusive? They should be shown the door. Right then and there. There are too many talented people in this world. Why waste time on damage control for someone who will not stop damaging others? Invest in someone new.
This is how you know insurance companies are evil. The ROI on every single vaccine is orders of magnitude more than up front cost (think prevented cirrhosis, cancer, surgeries, hospitalizations, etc). The only reason they wouldn’t cover vaccines is if they don’t plan to cover the consequences either
So much horrific news today, but don't sleep on this. @delauro.house.gov is right: "By illegally withholding nearly $7 billion promised to public schools, the Trump administration is furthering Republicans’ goal of eliminating public education."

The CFPB ordered Navy Federal Credit Union to repay over $80 million to customers hit with allegedly illegal overdraft fees. Yesterday, the CFPB terminated the requirement they repay customers.
If the money isn't already out the door, Navy Fed isn't paying.

Might I suggest what you want to remember you were doing the day after an American concentration camp opened in your lifetime is not arguing online about the camp’s name, but directly asking one person you trust what you could do together to help close the camp.
Trump and Noem got rid of Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties at DHS, which was supposed to investigate abuses in detention settings, has been gutted. The Office of the Immigration Detention Ombudsman — created by Congress as an independent watchdog — has been defunded and sidelined.
HORRIBLE JOBS REPORT: The private sector lost 33,000 jobs in June, badly missing expectations for a 100,000 jobs increase, ADP says.
Can anyone spell RECESSION? 😡
the president just opened a concentration camp
Defense Sec. Hegseth has ordered a pause in sending a shipment of missiles and ammunition to Ukraine amid concern about the U.S. military’s stockpiles, according to defense officials, congressional officials and two sources with knowledge of the decision.

most important thing you can be doing right now is arguing in the mentions of a concentration camp scholar whether what's being built in florida is a concentration camp or a death camp. once we've settled on the right word to use we can move on to less important problems like what to do about them
People aren’t “voting against their own interests.” They decide what their own interests are, not you. And they keep telling you which interests they value, you just won’t listen.

In a month in which too many prominent voices have chosen silence in the face of federally mandated mass deportations that target families, friends, and workers, we applaud and are endlessly grateful for Longoria’s generosity and actions. Thank you for seeing our work. lataco.com/longoria-don...
Because that’s what it is. Burning down everything and restructuring from near scratch with support only for rich white people and prisons/slavery.
No aid, no research, no education, no food, no housing, no medicine…
Prisons, deportation, money for the 0.01%
BTW this is why we wanted to stop cop city assholes
"The Big, Beautiful Bill assigns each American a billionaire who will live the American dream for you. You can check in on your billionaire at intervals and see how he is using your money. Maybe he’s building a 19th pool. Maybe he’s buying himself some formerly public land!"

The official X account for the White House just posted a photo of Trump with the alligators wearing ICE hats.
This is concentration camp propaganda being promoted on the same day he announced he will start targeting citizens for removal.
Fascism will never stop coming for you unless you stop it
I really don’t care about the Sean Combs trial, and I don’t need to know the verdict in real time.
The Senate just passed a bill that expands ICE into a no-shit unprecedented secret police force with more funding than the US Marines, and ALL OF THE CABLE NETWORKS are fixated on Sean Combs.
A diseased and impoverished nation is easier to control.
Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.
One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.
They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.
A bright illustration of Patty Berne,a Japanese-Haitian person with light brown skin, who smiles playfully with love and light shining from their brown eyes. They wear an off the shoulder opalescent blue dress and an amethyst pendant. Their brown hair is pulled back into their signature two buns. Behind Patty is a pink background with radiant red and yellow flowers. At the top of the image, iridescent capital letters spell out “PATTY LIVES THROUGH US.” On the bottom right corner is Sins Invalid’s logo, a black rectangular box with white letters that read “Sins Invalid.”
Sad to hear of the passing of #DisabilityJustice activist and visionary Patty Berne.
#SinsInvalid reminds us: “As we grieve, please care for each other in the ways Patty taught us:
Check in on a friend.
Cook a meal.
Support someone at the edge.
Practice Disability Justice in real time.”

If you’re not fucked by this bill, someone you know is. This is the type of totalitarianism not many are meant to escape. The vulnerable, the poor & disabled will be culled. The secret police who don’t need due process will abduct more, many will be incarcerated. It would be a final dark age.
