We knew exactly what this administration was going to do because it was written in Project 2025. Folks can be surprised at how quickly it has moved, but no one can act like they didn't know.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Bravo to Sen. Alsobrooks for her question. “We should not be giving Black people the same vaccine schedule as Whites because their immune system is better than ours.” — RFK Jr This is the deadlier version of the racist myth that Black people feel less pain, leading to denied pain meds.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too. Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more. Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

You cannot claim to be eco-conscious and concerned about climate change and promote the use of AI. The two are antithetical.

I’m an English teacher who’s taught futuristic dystopian fiction for decades. It’s horrifying that we can now study it as non-fiction in real time.

This is their plan to starve Medicaid. Gutting Medicaid by hundreds of billions of dollars will rip health care away from kids, veterans, seniors in nursing homes, Americans with disabilities, and working families. You don’t cut a TRILLION dollars from Medicaid without hurting millions of people.

Medicaid Per Capita Caps Up to $900 billion in 10-year savings VIABILITY: HIGH / MEDIUM / LOW Currently, states receive open-ended Federal Medicaid matching funds based on the costs of providing services to enrollees. Under Medicaid today, for every dollar a state spends on Medicaid services, it gets $1 to $3 of Federal support (richer states get $1, poorer states get $3). States are guaranteed continued federal support for actual spending, even if those costs go up or do not achieve desired outcomes. With a per capita cap, the federal government makes a limited payment to the state based on a preset formula, which does not increase based on actual costs. States exceeding the “cap” for enrollees would thus need to find other revenues to maintain spending levels or explore innovative ways to reduce excessive costs. This policy would establish a per capita cap for each of the different enrollment populations set to grow at medical inflation.

We warned that Trump was going to purge nonpartisan civil servants and install loyalists, because he told us he would. His own Agenda 47 explicitly said he would do this. Project 2025 laid out the framework and has been training loyalist replacements. This is the first phase of that 👇🏾

One thing Newsom should do *right now* is a statewide rent freeze. They did it during lockdown, they can do it again. And yes, statewide, because every landlord within 200 miles of LA is eagerly waiting for fire refugees to move into their area.

Large language models have near-zero utility when it comes to helping students develop as writers. I say this because of what I value in the writing experience: thinking, feeling, human exchange and communication with readers.

DOGE exists to help the extraction class disguise corruption, cronyism, and the brutal dismantling of consumer protection, labor rights, and the social safety net as as "innovative efficiency reforms" and from everything I've seen the U.S. press is super keen to help support the illusion

DOGE is simply procurement capture by government vendors. The "efficiency" they seek is disadvantaging competitors to any of their businesses (like Rivian attempting to compete with Tesla) by throwing up regulatory obstacles and cancelling government contracts. They're not being subtle.
