Unemployment can last much longer than 23 days, yet the shutdown is showing us that even the briefest interruption in pay and services for the average American is absolutely devastating. Sanders and AOC have warned about these things. I hope this has made others finally see it too.

October 10th had the first paychecks affected by the shutdown, with more since. Federal workers are going to food banks or working Uber or DoorDash. Social Security and SNAP benefits are being affected. This shutdown has shown that too many Americans live paycheck to paycheck, and barely at that.

This is what solidarity looks like. Together, we will win.

If Antifa means Anti-Fascist, then we know why MAGA hates them so much.

MAGA loves to call Democrats the "radical left", as if they have fringe beliefs, but when you look at the data there's nothing "radical" about their policies at all. In fact, the majority of Americans believe the same things as most Democrats. Guess that means we're really the "Radical Majority".

JD Vance immediately after Trump's death if it's while he's still in office:

Democrats: "We vote to give Americans healthcare, even if illegal immigrants might benefit as well."

Republicans: "We vote to take away Americans' healthcare because illegal immigrants might benefit as well."

They explain the shutdown really well. It's really about Democrats trying to keep healthcare costs down because the GOP already set them to double.

Republicans don't understand irony, which of course means we often get to witness real-life dramatic irony.

What's behind the health care fight that led to the government shutdown It's Obamacare health insurance prices — and how much help 24 million Americans will get with their premiums — that are in dispute.

Oh, they absolutely treat it as a good thing on Fox. Just look at Brian " kill the homeless" Kilmeade.

The way they treat undocumented immigrants proves they have little concern for life. Hell, they actively fight having any empathy at all.

He. Can't. Stop. Lying! Republicans control both chambers and the White House. They could have easily negotiated with the Democrats and already passed a budget, but they don't want that. Everyone needs to remember they made this same threat back during the big bill/filibuster fight. They want this.

Reminder: as their secret police force zip-ties children to each other during brute force, due process-free roundups — the Trump administration says it's "incitement" to call this "fascism."

And I mean they believe fascist ideology, but many have absolutely no idea what the word "fascist" means. They just think it's something mean to say to your opponent.

Since MAGA has absolutely no idea what fascism actually is, it seems appropriate to call them MAGAists instead. I mean, they believe the same things as fascists anyway.

It's so obvious what the Republicans are doing and it's so disingenuous for them to lie and claim they'll "definitely be open to talking about healthcare as long as the Democrats vote for their CR." They'll forget by the next day and go back to fucking Americans over.

You want to just point at the video and say, "could they make it more clear for you?" But MAGAists just don't pay attention.

Well if you call him a fascist then you don't have to worry because you're just stating a fact.

Every day in the U.S. we watch a duck walk around like a duck, flapping his wings like a duck, and quacking like a duck, but god forbid you call that duck a duck, and the duck's supporters lose their mind.

If you act like a fascist I'm going to call them a fascist.

This hits harder than when I saw this movie the first time.

America has its own nobility class, and they're still active today. They don't call them robber barons for nothing.

Putin is successfully dismantling the US as a world power with any influence in world politics.

How evil can you get? You fire thousands of federal works then systematically defund and dismantle the programs like SNAP, Medicaid, and unemployment that were specifically created to help people who are low income or whi recently lost their jobs.

So many Republicans either don't care or have lost sight of the fact that the "numbers" being cut are people. People with mortgages and bills. Their actions show that they completely lack empathy and have no remorse for the pain they cause. #Sociopublicans

This guy suuuuuuucks.

Because the media allowed the question to linger about "if" Musk's Nazi salute was a Nazi salute, they've now allowed "my heart goes out to all of you" to become the "magic words" they say while doing it to claim plausible deniability.

Children of Men takes place in the year 2027. They have cages for illegal immigrants before shipping them to what looks like a nearly lawless prison city, Arkham City-style. They dehumanize them, calling them "fugees" with no human rights whatsoever. We can't let something similar happen to us.
