The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

what does it matter anyways? it passed cloture, the Rs have a majority to pass it even if every dem votes against it now

Already tried calling multiple Shaheen and Hasan numbers, every single one of them was too full to accept new messages. They're not hearing us.

I have a paper due at midnight and I can't take my eyes off of this stupid cycle of yet another example Democrats helping Trump do everything he wants.

Guess im the idiot for expecting something else

My phone's area code is such I could be a NH res but I don't even get the false catharsis of leaving an angry voicemail for either of the two NH quislings because their inboxes are full. Fucking hell man I didn't even get to scream into the void and pretend they heard me call them a hindenburg.

This is what they took from you

Love you so much @kateastrophe.bsky.social :3

My exe wife messaged me to admonish me for not reposting her Bluesky posts as if my already extremely marginal twitter followership has followed me over here.

You dream about everyday reality?!?

BREAKING: new proof of life from the White House.

Being an English king’s exe-cutable wife sounds really romantic if you don’t know what any of those words mean

I love my schizophrenia (?) poster exe-wife so much

The KKK of the 1920s is probably the most American organization to have ever existed; a for-profit fraternal organization, a multi-level marketing scheme founded by a defrocked minister to piggyback off of a popular movie, eventually torn apart by internecine infighting and a national sex scandal.

Reporter: Five fellow mayoral candidates came here within 90 minutes of you being arrested and called for your release. What does that say about the tenor of the mayor's race?

Lander: Was one of them Andrew Cuomo?

Reporter: It was not.

Lander: Imagine that!

reread Debs' Canton speech again and I always think about this section

50501 claiming on their website that national turnout on saturday exceeded 13 million. their source? that fucking alt national parks service account. these are not serious people

biphobic columbo voice: oh and one more thing, you mentioned being bisexual..... but say, i seem to recall you taking your straight boyfriend to pride?

In April 1943, the War Department issued a pamphlet to employers bluntly titled You're Going to Employ Women.

i don't know why i find the title so funny

same flag but now there's an indented grey triangle

it doesn't actually count as a pride flag unless you revise it at least once

TYPES OF CIVIL WAR OFFICER 1. Autism's strongest soldier. Has a personality disorder but lives in an era where psychiatric medicine consists largely of laudanum and different temperatures of bath. Famously effective, enduringly divisive. Postwar career: promoted far beyond the level of their incompetence or skeletized remains in a ditch somewhere (Grant, Jackson, Longstreet) 2. Messy bitch who loves drama. Actively worse leadership than pointing anyone who shows up with a gun in a direction and telling them to go nuts. All things being equal, every commissioned officer rank will be occupied by these guys in peacetime and arguably a large part of the gradual snowballing success of the Union consisted of more vigorous sectional politics weeding them out faster. Postwar career: photographed in uniform and maybe a very tedious statue and biography or two (McClellan, Lee, Rosecrans) 2a. Messy bitch who loves drama prestige class unlocked after Antietam: messy bitch who loves drama and also loves posing for photographs and has become good at it. Would be very good at dying gallantly in a meaningless charge into a fortified German trench, but is tragically too early for it. Postwar career: universal admiration followed by complete historical oblivion a generation after their death (Burnside, Bragg, Hood) 2b. Messy bitch who loves drama prestige class unlocked after Chancellorsville: submissive and breedable partyboy inexplicably wearing stars. Each army gets exactly one; reporters love them, nobody exactly hates them, but when the red mist dies down historians unanimously agree they were a liability. Postwar career: who cares (Custer, Beauregard)

3. Ideologue. The higher the ideologue gets in the chain of command, the less interesting they are as officers qua officers. The ideology is usually just racism, but there were also a few extremely weird German communists exiled to the Midwest who imprinted on the Union like a lost baby bird. Every Confederate officer you've never heard of but have seen statues of is this guy; they treat war as posting by other means. Postwar career: forum avatar (Early, Sherman) 4. Fighting Joe. For whatever reason, the officer's contemporaries have decided a fine thing to call him going forward is "Fighting Joe", and now here we are. You are watching Fighting Joe, the worst general officer in the American civil war. Postwar career: being Fighting Joe (Hooker, Wheeler) 5. Steppe warlord junior varsity. A late development, largely on the Confederate side; these officers, like a dog fed on human flesh, have decided they're done with civilization and, after a failed attempt to inaugurate iron-fisted strongman rule over a random scrap of the deep South, keep wandering off into places they consider uncivilized and being just about as useless there as they were in Arkansas or wherever. Postwar career: incarceration in a Turkish prison (Kirby Smith, Sibley, Norris) 6. Dark triad sicko. Perfectly functional within an organization if properly contained, but if left to their own devices will absolutely start rounding up civilians and doing Saw shit, and you just gotta account for that when having a civil war. Postwar career: bedwetting and starting fires (Forrest, Butler)

ever wondered about what ranking officers in the us civil war were like? good news. there's not that many types of them. here you go

Beastmode response to the NYT endorsing Nelson Rockefeller in 1970

Yes and no? There isn’t a hard split, it’s certainly iterative and flowing but still a fundamental change in the internal order. Coming out as a teen made the distinction really blurry-Growing up and abandoning boyhood were concurrent and, in my mind, inseparable.

Comedian and future trainer of Asta the dog, Gale Henry starred in her own series of shorts. In THE DETECTRESS, she plays an undercover cop.

In my review, dig into Chinese stereotypes in Hollywood, Henry's career and whether she was the inspo for Olive Oyle.
