Panickin Skywoker

it’s moments like today that make it really clear that it was imperative for zohran mamdani to oust andrew cuomo and prevent all these republican-lites from controlling anything

I just watched 5 of them try to explain why they voted with the GOP. I wanted to throw a brick thru my TV. There is no reason to go against your party. The GOP will not negotiate the ACA ever. They said then it will be on them. It already was!!!!

Eat shit, fascists.

The New York Times front page is a daily game of absolving Republicans of responsibility for their own actions.

It is very weird seeing my friends and family slowly start to realize we're not overreacting.

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Bernie Sanders: "What this Senate is about to do is make a horrific situation even worse. So let's be clear what this vote is about. If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are gonna see at least a doubling in their premiums in the ACA."

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."

Hochul a 'no' on Mamdani's free bus plan; 'yes' on statewide universal childcare The price tag to expand a universal childcare program statewide is $15B.

“I know you can’t afford things but we also cannot afford things” will be, I predict, a losing message. The world’s first trillionaire is on the horizon. “We can’t afford transportation, healthcare, food and shelter” will no longer cut it for the “progressive” party.

it says a lot about the average politician that this guy seems to expect that zohran mamdani only said what he said to get elected and doesn’t actually believe in anything

Can I tell you about someone else whose followers included adult content creators

Paramount Has Blacklist for Stars Deemed “Overtly Antisemitic” — World of Reel It sure looks like the likes of Javier Bardem, Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, and Mark Ruffalo won’t be making movies for Paramount in the foreseeable future.

Under new head of Paramount David Ellison, the studio has drawn up a list of actors who opposed the Gaza genocide and will not allow them to appear in its films and TV shows.

Does this sound familiar?

Also, "Ellison is reportedly aiming to take over Warner Bros. next."

Translation: “We will let your health care premiums skyrocket and have no plan to help alleviate the pain”

What if we never do? Shutting down Congress fulfills a lot of wishes for the administration. They can act with total impunity with zero Dem interference. They can strip funds from literally everything. They can force essential workers to work for free. It’s a dream scenario?

The two parties are not the same.

Undercover police officer fabricated gun plot by animal rights activists, inquiry told Spycops inquiry hears James Thomson lied to superiors and deceived two women into relationships

The police lie and lie and lie.
It only gets acknowledge long after.

Damage done and they pretend that the same thing isn't still happening to appear on some headline in thirty years to feigned shocked.

well now I’m curious about Paramount’s preferred level of antisemitism

Read this thread. This is what @katmabu.bsky.social was protesting, and why she repeatedly says getting beaten up by ICE outside is nothing compared to the torture and crimes being committed inside Broadview. These thugs must be held to account.

divergentcoachkelly on Threads * 2h ADHD is knowing exactly what you need to do then watching yourself not do it like you're a scientist observing a very dumb experiment

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.

Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

Been thinking about what is so intensely off-putting about these two and I think it’s that they’re miming fun instead of being fun and the uncanny valley of that seems hideous

Yes
