"It feels like we live at the end of the story but this isn't the end, it's the middle. And together we have to fight for a better end." @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social said that recently and it's a comfort and a reminder at all times, and perhaps especially today.

How do you motivate yourself to start/continue creative projects? When doing the creative thing isn't its own reward, how do you keep from abandoning it?

It’s extra important for GOP senators to hear from their constituents right now. While Republicans try to gut life-saving programs like Medicaid and SNAP to give billionaires even more tax cuts, tell your senators to reject Trump’s Tax Scam and stand up for the families they were elected to serve. 👇

As Trump defies courts, ignores the Constitution and punishes dissenters, all while he and his friends get even richer, June 14 needs to be our biggest and most widespread day of protest yet. There are over 700 events planned for No Kings Day. Please join us: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

One of the proposed changes to Medicaid is instituting an 80 hr/month work requirement to qualify. They did this with SNAP qualification in VA, last year. THAT IS JUST SUBSIDIZING LOW-PAYING EMPLOYERS. Repubs clearly deem those of us working fewer hours due to disability or age to be expendable.

This is a big deal: Five Republicans just voted against Trump’s Tax Scam because they want even more cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. Delaying this bill will make Mike Johnson’s job even more difficult — and we get more time to make calls to Congress, toxify Trump’s Tax Scam, and defeat it.
Jake Sherman on Twitter: “THE HOUSE BUDGET COMMITTEE has voted down the reconciliation bill.

Vote was 16-21.

Clyde, Roy, Brecheen, Norman and Smucker all voted no. Smucker changed his vote”

Understand this: your local small businesses are not end-to-end suppliers. They rely on others to make, import, and sell their goods. Many of those others were just slapped with high tariffs. In many cases, there IS NO US-BASED equivalent they can use. Trump is killing small businesses.
