Jonathan Joss was murdered after being terrorized by his homophobic neighbor outside his house that was burned down & after finding the remains of his dog. This was NOT simply a result of a "dispute" with a neighbor. Don't let the media minimize this! #Maddow

Rep. Jamie Raskin @raskin.house.gov · last yr.

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it. I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.

Hi @aaronjbastani.bsky.social I saw your interview of Paul Morland on @novaramedia.com youtube channel and I am thinking you really need to interview someone at @popnmatters.bsky.social to get the real information out to the wider public rather than the Population Ponzi scheme that is Pro-natalism

Isn’t this a big part of the problem? @jaketapper.bsky.social asks a valid question and then allows this nonsense to be spewed for 90 seconds with no pushback whatsoever. They know they can just say whatever and they get no real challenge in the moment.
