Rough day to be any sort of survivor of sexual violence. Solidarity to all of you, please be kind to yourselves

2026 Primary thread!

The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)

They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.

The Senate Democrats!

Mahmoud still needs help.

Fight don’t fold.

Hey just a reminder that it only takes 23 Senate Democrats to remove and replace Chuck Schumer as minority leader. They don't do it because the majority of Senate Democrats approve of the way he does politics.

Prescient

My friends who work in government have gone into debt to protect people's healthcare, they are being fucking betrayed by wealthy Senators who never stopped getting paid.

a cartoon girl in a blue dress is kneeling in a field holding a bag Alt: Lucy will remove the football when you're trying to kick it again

Good job Charlie! Run after that football! It'll totally work out for you.

You gullible tool.

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

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.

This is totally ridiculous. I remember last shutdown working to ensure that CONTRACTORS got back pay because we all knew that federal workers get back pay.

These people are totally worthless and continually moving the goalposts.

The arc of history is a foot-long, but it bends towards justice.

Is this my beautiful house? Is this my beautiful life?

I whittled soap once and one of my friends made a bookshelf. You should do it!

BREAKING NEWS from @mollyroberts.bsky.social: SANDWICH GUY FOUND NOT GUILTY

Also, my peeps, if you're skeeting a fucking wall of text, you should copy that wall, and PASTE IT INTO ALT TEXT!
Go to SETTINGS>ACCESSABILITY > REQUIRE ALT TEXT and slide the slide to on.

I also want to mention ALT TEXT. Now, with a flip of a switch, you too can let other bsky peeps participate in your shenanigans if they have screen readers or don't understand the context of your pix. (who is this person? Why should I care?)

Rude Rude or impolite, including crude language and disrespectful comments, without constructive purpose. Highlighted Off, darkened Warn, and darkened Hide buttons.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Having a kid with significant disabilities in Gaza is so hard but on top of that Qamar also has toddler twin boys- the need for food and a warm place to stay is high for this family

Nick Pettigrew @Nick_Pettigrew Polio was eradicated because Jonas Salk chose not to patent the vaccine, if you want a perfect example of a socialist act. Quote Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63 · Jun 24 Socialism is like polio, it comes back when people forget about the horrible damage it did last time.

REMINDER: A socialist act by a New Yorker was a major reason why polio was eliminated in the US.

the first muslim woman being elected to statewide office (in any state!) the day dick cheney died is beautiful

adding to this: I think anti-trans ads will still play a role in GOP primaries (b/c they're transphobic). & *some* Dem pundits will still blame trans ppl (b/c they're transphobic). but hopefully most voters now understand these tactics as scapegoating & won't fall for them

East Charlotte is in good hands. JD Mazuera Arias brings immigrant pride and deep commitment to the fight for housing, safety, and fairness. Congrats, JD!

Came here to say this, but Jamelle Bouie has this covered. 👇
When the Democratic tent includes candidates like Spanberger and Mamdani, there is no crisis, or fight, for the party. IT’S A COALITION, NOT A POINT ESTIMATE.

With alt text because that's how we do here.
