Karen Wants The Orcas In Charge

It’s always the airline industry, isn’t it.

We understand exactly how the Senate works.

It works for everyone other than we the people.

Also, being blamed is temporary if they can deliver something they will be loved for. These fucking cowards apparently have no stomach for uncertainty or their own capacity to get anything done.

Loser behavior through and through.

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

Unventilated, shareds spaces increase the chance of catching covid. Are your gatherings safe? Greens Against Covid.

We can reduce the number of #Covid and all airborne disease infections this winter by considering the safety of our gatherings.

Hold them online or outdoors. #Ventilate spaces. Keep CO2 levels below 800ppm. Run air purifiers. Wear respirator masks.

Trump officials set to approve ‘forever chemical’ as pesticide ingredient Critics say that fifth Pfas Trump’s EPA has proposed for approval this year would put food and water supply at risk

The Trump regime is looking for new ways to kill people.

Sending love to everyone whose health care has been jeopardized by the Democratic cave-in. These Democratic elites will not be part of the solution. We must proceed with that understanding.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.

No matter how they voted last night, every one of them has a say in maintaining Chuck Schumer and Dick Durbin as their caucus leaders. Every one of them is accountable here.

To be clear: the deal they voted on to move forward last night still needs to be formally voted on in the Senate and House. If the eight are your senators, they should be hearing from you this morning!

What is the point of a political party that will not fight for the people?

Truly amazing that any time the democrats have to bite the bullet and do something that ruins countless lives, there's always *just* enough votes to get it done, but if there is a vote on something that would actually improve people's lives, they are always one vote short. Crazy how that happens.

🏳️ BREAKING: Democrats Surrender. Again Mehdi's Monday morning update on the senators voting to reopen the government without a guarantee on heathcare; the BBC rolling over for Donald Trump; and Kathy Hochul's clash with Zohran Mamdani.

"Is there a more feckless, spineless opposition party anywhere in the democratic world? Why do Democrats insist on repeatedly snatching defeat from the jaws of victory?"

Me for Zeteo's First Draft this morning on the Democratic surrender in the Senate:

The least most politically engaged people I know are texting me before 8am to say, “we won’t forget.”

So I don’t know man.

The contrast could hardly be sharper. My friends and neighbors, armed only with whistles and voices, spend their weekend fighting off heavily-armed paramilitary goons. Meanwhile, these jagoffs capitulate, but not before securing another $1 billion for their own security.

“We are at a moment right now where people are asking themselves why can’t the Democratic Party defend this assault on democracy . . . and I would submit to you that if you can’t draw the line at genocide, you probably can’t draw the line at democracy.”

-Ta-Nehisi Coates

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

Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.

fresh off caving, Sen. Jeanne Shaheen is going on Fox & Friends

Unfortunately still true bsky.app/profile/adam...

If your position is that Democrats have no choice but to agree, than you are impliedly admitting the Democrats are no longer an opposition party because the cost of opposition is too high, and we are effectively a one party fascist state.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Mohammed @abdullahs-dad.bsky.social is really not ok. Despite the ceasefire it seems he will never return to his farmland that meant everything to him. He struggles with despair supporting his whole family on donations. He means a lo to me & so many have been touched by his huge heart. Can we help?

ICE poised to ramp up raids in Baltimore by Thanksgiving The Trump administration has rush-ordered infrastructure to conduct raids, abduct residents, and detain people for months.

I have been actively watching contracts and surge funding over the last few days and what I would say to my friends in Baltimore is “be absolutely ready, right now.”

Trump Throws Decadent Opera and Truffles Rager at Mar-a-Lago The president’s ragers show no sign of slowing down even amid the government shutdown.

Trump threw another lavish party as his DOJ asked the Supreme Court to stop it from being forced to pay food stamps for 40 million Americans.
Yes, this is *different* from last week’s Gatsby party. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-hosts-...

Canada could face ‘worst kind’ of flu season as experts warn evolving strain may be mismatch for vaccine | CBC News With flu cases now rising in Canada, medical experts are bracing for a difficult influenza season linked to the global spread of an evolving H3N2 strain that could be a mismatch for this year’s vaccin...

We may see a more serious flu season this year, for several reasons, including record numbers already seen in Australia this year, the potential for the H3N2 strain to be less well-matched to vaccines, and the rise of vaccine hesitancy due to misinformation.
