While I give Obama major credit for getting the ACA across the line, our biggest mistake was abandoning Medicare for All before we even started and adopting what was basically Mitt Romney's health plan in a futile attempt to get the GOP to vote for it. It was flawed from the start.

They are so good at this.

American Catholics had hot hate for Francis. They will hate Leo now too.

I wish I had one of those million dollar video players that I could put on a wall and watch this all the time. So Beautiful. Thanks.

Jeremy Allen White as Springsteen

“Where you come from is gone, where you thought you were going to never was there, and where you are is no good unless you can get away from it.”
My #SundaySentence this week from the movie Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, and attributed to Flannery O’Connor in the film. #Booksky 📽️🎸

Wait until he hears that Reagan didn't trust the Russians.

it’s wild that this is just sort of the most openly corrupt administration of all time and they’re just allowed to do that and most media doesn’t say a word about it

The shitbombing AI is eliminationist rhetoric, no pun intended. Associating your enemies with filth and disease is a time-honored rhetorical strategy. It can be a prelude to violence.

The French know how to do it. Be like the French.

Chip in if you can, Kelli has been fighting the good fight here in Escanaba but would be fantastic in the Michigan state senate!

This little prick.

That’s crazy. I wonder what happened in January

Live Updates: María Corina Machado of Venezuela Is Awarded the Nobel Peace Prize

The person advocating for Venezuelans got the peace prize, not the person murdering them in cold blood on the high seas.

This is so very very very true.

Neguse: "I would challenge anyone to make sense of the rantings and ravings you just heard from the president. These are not serious people tweeting out offensive videos last night on Truth Social ... I think it's important for all of us to acknowledge what we see with our own eyes"

Love that sound.

Dakota Hamilton (@pubella) This is a slightly edited version of a letter I recently sent to my representative, Jared Huffman. In response, I got a form letter by email that had virtually nothing to do with the content of my own...

My wife who is very smart just wrote a great letter to an editor in which she argues that we should be featuring rather than ignoring tRump's very evident dementia. So far it's a letter to any editor. Any suggestions as to where she should send it?

Bluesky needs a "wow" button. That's a good haul.

Green Bay, so beautiful.

I hope the majority realizes you can't win over the right wing with civility or the old ways. Doesn't work. Its a dangerous, violent, hypocritical cult without shame.

They want power by any illegal means necessary.

Choose your fighters accordingly. The current Dem leadership ain't it.

I confess that I'm starting to imagine the Pacific States of America. California, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii. We're getting tired of all that tax money going to states that hate us. And our health care at present sucks. It couldn't be any worse if we were in charge of it.
