Schumer rn:

Chuck, portrayed by Paul Scheer, a member of the Good Place Committee: "He's got a point. The fair thing for us to do is just keep giving up more and more stuff we want, unilaterally, until this demon is finally happy."

Democrats, coming off a historic national protest against fascism and a country-wide electoral sweep:

The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands The short documentary “Rovina’s Choice” tells the story of what goes when aid goes.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

WAR IS OVER

This has been the worst year for layoffs since 2009, according to CNBC.

This should have happened

I mean we all know Wallace Shawn from Murphy Brown where he played Stuart Best... Right?

In the eyes of the establishment, there’s literally nothing Mamdani can do to prove he’s not an antisemite, and literally nothing the openly fascist trump regime can do to prove they are, up to and including intentionally dressing like literal, historical Nazis

Democracy Forward and Protect Borrowers Respond to Unlawful Rule to Politicize Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program: We’ll See You in Court - Protect Borrowers ED previews a new rule that will unlawfully politicize the PSLF program and harm employees of organizations that do not align with Trump-Vance administration priorities.

This is outrageous. Public Service Loan Forgiveness is a bipartisan program to encourage public service. Trump cannot just revoke the forgiveness that workers have earned because they disagree with him politically. protectborrowers.org/democracy-fo...

Exactly

They actually have the money in reserves to release and Trump isn't allowing it. He wants Americans to starve. You know, like he said, "a little pain"

“Fastest accumulation of $1 Trillion in debt outside of the pandemic…”

But at least the rich got their tax cuts, right @MarshaBlackburn? With Inequality at gilded age levels.

PSA: They don’t care about the debt and never did.

I couldn't figure out why the destruction of the East Wing hurt this much in a 'body keeps the score' kind of way- and then I remembered.
TR constructed the first (smaller) East Wing to welcome public visitors, because it was their house and he wanted to make ample room to welcome them.
... Sigh 😓

Enough time has passed that I can definitively say that the “everyone is 12 now” post is THE load bearing post of Bluesky. The hall of famer Bluesky post. It commands respect even from Bluesky skeptics and haters

NYC Mayor’s Race: Mamdani unveils plan to root out ‘duplicative’ education spending at city’s public schools | amNewYork Democratic mayoral nominee and frontrunner Zohran Mamdani on Tuesday rolled out a plan to overhaul how the city's Education Department inks contracts with

NYC’s Dept. of Education spends around $10 billion/year on contracts.

Many provide essential services to our schools, yet with over 3,000 active contracts, DOE faces major efficiency challenges.

DOE needs procurement reform.

Yesterday I announced my platform to deliver it.

"How do you expect to win back men...?"

We don't want those men. They are the hot dogs on the floor of humanity and we still have all these nice prepped hamburger patties if someone would just let them cook.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Such a mind fuck how Covid conscious folks are accused of not "moving on" when really we're the only ones who've evolved our behavior to fit the science, while others cling to some 2019 glittery dream world indefinitely

It’s outrageous they’re killing innocent people, but we also need to stress, every time, that it would not really matter even it were absolutely certain that they were drug traffickers. Murdering criminals is still, you know, murder.

people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath

It's official. Nearly 7 million people. Today is the single largest day of protest in American history. Americans from all corners of the country are standing up and saying #NoKings. This is what peaceful, patriotic protest looks like.

Look I'm not saying I conjured anything to ensure the Dodgers swept the Brewers. But, when the brewers were such aggressively sore losers last time? #NLCS
