Thanks for the link. Clearly our tax policies are inadequate.

Talk about snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Hopefully voters will primary and vote out every weak Dem senator who caved, plus the ones we are pretty sure used them for cover (Schumer, Gillibrand, etc.) our election joy didn’t even last a full week.

I called Merkley and Wyden earlier in the week to ask the same. I called again today but their voicemail was full.

Excellent thread. I know I had some (bad) ideas about grammar and pronouns. However after getting to know some trans and nonbinary folks, my grammatical concerns stood revealed as irrelevant and completely unimportant compared to the well being of actual human beings.

Your honesty and dedication are deeply appreciated. Thank you.

Yes!

Oh my, he is so so so cute!

We need more heroes— here’s one.

Chris Cillizza Won't "Pick A Side." But He Has And It's Not The Side Of Democracy. Bad faith from top to bottom.

This is a good (if NSFW) look at why bothsiderism is really just siding with the wrong folks.

What a sad and lovely story.

Yes I’ve been saying exactly the same thing. Maybe instead of pouring money into ads on dying or dead media channels, they should get out there and use it to actually help the people they hope will vote for them.

Being seen to support food banks across the country, would help change the perception that Dems ares just a bunch of out of touch elites. Donate to food banks, volunteer in food banks, put pressure on big donors to publicly make big donations. Dems need to actually help people who need help.

What a ludicrously sycophantic article—

There was a Statue of Liberty at our small protest in Oregon. And lots of chickens, both inflatable and otherwise. And one stupendous inflatable lobster!

I lived in SF for years and didn’t know about this. Thanks for posting.

Was that Portland or Chicago? It says Chicago in the video.

Let's have a midday story time, with Nick Muller!! (TikTok)

Today we'll hear about the Portland Freedom Frog and other forms of peaceful well-dressed resistance throughout history.

Enjoy, friends! May this inspire the many resisters of modern day.

Resistance is always high fashion!

I was just in Portland on Thursday. No fires, no riots, but hurrah for the frogs!

Reading “Patriot,” Alexei Navalny’s autobiography, is especially chilling right now— the fact that the Trump regime is following the exact same playbook is unavoidable.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

That’s a very pleasant apartment! I love your loft— such a cozy place and the moon window is delightful.

Oh! I never realized that was how it worked. Thank you for helping me learn something today!

This looks like a great article but sadly it’s not coming up as a gift link for me.

Well worth listening to.

I was fortunate to get a chance to work through that before my daughter was born. I’m grateful that at least I didn’t have food struggles with her.

I’ve been told that many folks with long covid have developed ARFID.

When I was very small, I refused to eat my peas. My folks believed in a clean plate, so I sat there for hours. Finally I gave up, ate them, and immediately threw them back up. My mom said I asked sadly whether I had to eat them again—
