Marjorie Taylor Greene is leading proceedings on House floor and all I can think about is if she’s wearing that chapstick.

Ron DeSantis launched his campaign on the bird app and it went as expected. 🫠

So insane. They even want to roll back the loans that have already been forgiven. The cruelty is fucking crazy.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialMay 24(source)

We are debating a Republican bill right now that would roll back student loan relief and the public service loan forgiveness program. House Republicans love giving tax breaks to billionaires and large corporations but could care less about students and working class people.

Hello! I'm Terry Blas, Gay, Mexican-American comic book writer and artist. My work features queer and Latinx characters and I love meeting people and making new friends. I draw a lot of superheroes and drag queens. Reach out and say hi!

Not sure dropping the part of your name that is branded as prestige and premium tv is the right approach.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialMay 23(source)

The debt limit debate is ridiculous by the way. It’s a tool used by the right to slow progress and roll back social programs. So much of Washington “financial policy” is designed to stop investments in working people and the poor.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialMay 23(source)

depends. If you have a GOP rep please email or call their office with your opinion. We actually track calls and members hear it especially when many folks call. If you have a Dem member encourage them (if you agree) to stand strong against cuts and to encourage POTUS to consider the 14th amendment.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialMay 23(source)

I’m sitting in our Democratic Caucus meeting and folks are fired up to stop McCarthy and his proposed and extreme cuts during these debt limit negotiations.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialMay 22(source)

Yup. Its hard to watch the level of hate and selfishness up close.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialMay 22(source)

Headed to the airport to get back to Washington DC. This is the don’t let Republicans use the debt limit debate to cut food programs week. The level of cruelty is stunning.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialMay 21(source)

Next time! If you are all going to SDCC let’s hang.

I saw some of your friends out in PS 🥰

more people (including members of congress) need to realize that fascisim and white supremacy are linked.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialMay 21(source)

Every single Republican voted to keep George Santos in Congress last week. Let’s make sure voters don’t forget that.

Robert Garcia@robertgarcia.bsky.socialMay 21(source)

In 2016 when I was mayor of long beach the city hosted its first open streets event. The amount of hate calls we received was significant. We went forward anyways and now it is imo the best event the city hosts. We need more permanent street closures to cars.

we were friends but he tragically passed away about 12 years ago. I would do anything to be his best friend again.
