Now I want to see them demand Schumer‘s replacement. The fact that the Gang of 8 are either safe or retiring next year stinks to high heaven. We are literally no better off than we would have been voting straight line Republican.

If @murray.senate.gov and @cantwell.senate.gov don't come out swinging for universal healthcare, I won't guarantee my vote.

I am ONLY voting for candidates who fight for public healthcare. My life, my family's lives, and my neighbors' lives depend on it.

Get it done.

No praise for any Senate Democrat who is not calling for Schumer and Durbin to step down. This cowardly betrayal happened on their watch. *AGAIN* Any Dem Senator who is fine with the status quo is signaling they support what just went down and are fine with it happening again. Voters are done!

Now, let's hear them call upon Schumer and Durbin to step down from leadership; and, the others who can be replaced by Dem governors via appointment to resign.

@midnightpals.bsky.social THERE'S the context, goddamn no wonder Fictional Elon is mad

TELL THEM DO NOT CAVE.

GEORGIA - CALL OSSOFF AND TELL HIM NOT TO CAVE!

Wendy’s to close 300 ‘underperforming’ locations

They do not have a plan, they’ve never had a plan. They’ve also never had the votes to repeal the ACA which is *OVERWHELMINGLY* popular, nor have they been able to get the Supreme Court to overturn it, so instead they’ve just shut down the entire government to try forcing Dems to stop funding it.

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

“I Don’t Feel Safe”: Black Memphis Residents Report Harassment by Trump’s Police Task Force A pastor was pulled over for looking lost. A 72-year-old was marched out in his bathrobe due to mistaken identity. Memphis’ mayor welcomed the federal law enforcement surge, but some residents say the...

Phillip Lewis, a 72-year-old cancer patient, said he was woken up and marched outside his home in his robe and underwear before federal officers even checked his ID.

He was not, it turned out, the man they were looking for.

Not ICE. Border Patrol. They’re wearing Border Patrol uniforms with clear Border Patrol patches on them.

There are many videos of ICE officers doing outrageous stuff but a lot of the absolute worst videos are of Border Patrol, who are basically Bovino and Miller’s most aggressive tool right now.

ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being “non compliant”

He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care

This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person

They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota

DHS Admits It Provided “Erroneous” Information on Texts of Noem and DHS Brass, Hasn’t Confirmed It Followed Law - American Oversight Thursday, following a court filing in American Oversight’s lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) over the agency’s initial claim that it failed to preserve the text messages of…

In Aug., DHS told us it hadn’t preserved officials’ texts since April—when it began some of its most controversial actions.

That would be against the law. We sued.

DHS now says it gave us “erroneous” info—but hasn’t confirmed if it’s following the law.

AutoZone Owes Pennsylvania Online Shoppers $20 Each For Tracking Them Without Their Consent - Jalopnik

A recent class action lawsuit in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania claims AutoZone tracked shoppers on its website without proper consent.

"A team of independent forensic analysts examined their testimony. The experts called it consistent and credible, saying most of the acts described met the United Nations’ definition of torture."

In our name, with our tax dollars.

Trump II is an indelible stain on our national honor.
