Resign!!!

*Swap gifts from stuff you already have

Remember corporate democrats did this because of their rich donors. The rich want us to spend money during the festivities. We need to do the opposite. Buy from small businesses, resellers, thrift stores, swap gifts, or make it yourself, but don't buy from big corporations.

I just want everyone to have the experience of living in dignity with access to sufficient food, safe housing, needed medical care, high quality education, and time to engage with what sparks their curiosity and spirit

this should not be controversial 🫠

I agree with this argument. Like many, I am angry with the corporate democrats, but don't leave the democratic party as then you can't vote in the primaries. To change the party to defend people's well being we need to be hyper-engaged with the primaries. youtu.be/ScYUAvFC2sY?...

Bring on the Progressives. Boot out the establishment.

I am so sick of them.

They were chosen because they are not up for reelection so they can safely piss off voters.

The only answer is you have to hold the entire caucus accountable for the surrender. Every Dem who isn't calling for new leadership ought to be primaried. That, or accept continued failure.

Assume all the yes and no votes from Dem senators are strategic and not sincere votes. The party caucus made a decision. No way to know how many were in favor. Then the caucus decided who would vote yes and no based on what would protect each of them politically the most. That’s how this works.

It’s a frightening reminder we cannot rely on many elected officials to stick up for the non-elites, for the working class, they will not stand up for the poor. We need to primary them if they lack the ability, stomach, and drive to fight for the people they represent.

This is the message of a failed, feckless, and leaderless party. We need a party with backbone, and the only path to it is through a cleansing primary season. If your Dem is up for reelection, and you aren't damn sure they're fighting the fascists with everything they've got, primary the bastard.

We need to stop religious extremists/ radicals. They are going to cause so much suffering and deaths

if your constituents constantly have to talk you out of screwing them over you're BAD AT YOUR JOB

Of course Gavin Newsom also speaks about the “crisis” of men in the US, as always adopting the framing of the far right. Not a peep about the progressive turn of young women? Let alone how they could power the Democratic Party?

ICYMI: Senator Ron Wyden sounds the alarm on Republicans plan to sneak a nationwide abortion ban into their funding bill. This is why it is so important for women to remain in the fight for our lives!

Families on SNAP worry about not just feeding themselves but also their pets With SNAP benefits going out late, nonprofits are begging for pet food donations to prevent desperate owners from surrendering their dogs and cats to animal shelters.

The authors ignore James Watson’s behaviours, before, during, and after the discovery of the double helix while trying to downplay his wrong doing. instead they make it clear, Watson had access to her crystallography without her permission. He also had access to her notes and data and thoughts…#1

Presumed lethal coalitionary aggression in bonobos—in this case females banded against a male who attempted infanticide.

It’s the second instance of presumed lethal aggression in bonobos (too my knowledge).

It's really important to note that not only was Watson a racist and misogynist but his contribution to the double helix was listening to a Rosalind Franklin lecture and getting mad because Francis Crick wouldn't invite him to his sex parties.

Women, we need to work harder to get noticed for ruining science.

Mexico’s President Presses Charges Against Man Who Groped Her on the Street

Brava: “If I don’t file a complaint, then what message does that send to all Mexican women?” Ms. Sheinbaum said at her daily news conference, noting sexual harassment was a crime… “If this can happen to the president, what’s going to happen to all the young women & women across our country?”

This is criminal. Access to health care and medication is a human right

It is not about money. It's the ability to use money to get what they want (fewer regulations, less accountability, more access).

The great thing about community-based campaigns that engage thousands? The candidate owes far less to any one individual - and that is great for everybody.

Colorado voters approve tax increase on high earners to fund school meals, food stamps Proposition MM’s passage means Colorado will fully fund free breakfast and lunch for all public school students

Coloradans voted Tuesday to increase taxes on wealthy households to fully fund free breakfast and lunch for all public school kids and bolster the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as SNAP or food stamps. The Associated Press projected that Proposition MM would pass at 8:25 p.m. when 57% of the votes counted were in support of the measure and 43% were opposed. The increased taxes on households earning at least $300,000 will shore up funding for free school meals for all public school children, provide raises for school meal staff, and support school district efforts to buy locally-sourced food. Any leftover funding will go toward new state costs for administering the SNAP program as a result of cuts enacted by the Trump administration and Republicans in Congress earlier this year. The passage of Proposition MM marks the second time Coloradans have voted to tax themselves to provide meals for public school kids in recent years. Democrats in the state legislature referred Proposition MM to the ballot this year when funding for the state’s free school meals program began to wane.

School lunches get a bad rap, but they're healthier than the average packed lunch. And making them free for all amplifies academic and health benefits for low-income kids by removing stigma/shame.

So I'm glad Colorado voted to raise taxes on high-income households to make school meals free for all.

Earning more doesn’t lighten mothers’ mental loads – they do more regardless While mothers who earn more may be able to outsource some of the physical work in the household, the mental load is huge – and remains a barrier to gender equality.

Study (N=2,000) finds mothers do 67% more household mgmt than fathers. Largest gaps: family scheduling, managing cleaning, organizing childcare, managing social relationships & taking care of food. Fathers do more finance & home maint but gap is smaller.

There’s no reason ever again for any Democrat to suggest moderating on trans rights. There was never a moral reason but now there’s no political reason either.

Somebody tell Gavin Newsom and Pete Buttigieg. it’s joe-ver.
