Back in my theatre management days, Arcadia was one of my favorite shows I worked on, because the script was so good. I still think about it a lot. If you get a chance to see it, I highly recommend.

People who make primary source documents easily accessible to the public are the best

Thank you @paulgp.com

this is excellent three-dimensional chess. every good politician knows that the average person loves it when you openly care more about senate procedure than their lives.

@shaheen.senate.gov has her platinum level fantastic healthcare, but she threw millions of Americans under the bus.

This move tonight has to be made to backfire on the GOP and these Senate Dems. I'm sorry we have to fight on 2 fronts at once, America. But these are the cards we've been dealt.

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.

Democratic organizers did our fucking part. We gave Democrats a clean sweep on Tuesday so Chuck Schumer have leverage to negotiate.

Instead, either because of malice or sheer fucking incompetence, he is letting his caucus fold like fucking cowards.

Europeans recognize Zohran Mamdani’s supposedly radical policies as β€˜normal’ Critics of New York City’s mayor-elect have said his pledges of free bus service and universal childcare are unrealistic, but in Europe it’s a given

This perfectly encapsulates how I feel living in the US. The republican party is an insane death cult, the democratic party is 3 corporations in a trench coat, and the "socialists" are just the completely normal left-wing capitalists you'd find in any of 2 dozen European nations.

I have to imagine far-right Catholics are really struggling with the fact that they can now hear this stuff in English directly from the pope.

Suicidal for centrists to be begging for moderation when now would be a great time to pass some big, ambitious policies and remind people why Democrats are better than Republicans.

"Immigration Services Officer not a MAN enough title for you? Be a HOMELAND DEFENDER!"

"Defend your culture! Your white culture, because that's a thing that really exists!"

"Not a U.S. citizen? As long as you owe us allegiance, you're in! (until we have enough whites and THEN we deport you)"

Like I know there are edgelord leftists out there who look down their noses at shit like No Kings but sorry you guys, the more mass protest looks fun and family-friendly, the bigger it gets and the better its chances of being broadly effective

This is it exactly.

For a century, we've had too many dudes at the table designing our infrastructure. The result is a hostile environment built for people who are "comfortable being uncomfortable," which leaves almost everyone else behind.

my genuine theory is that dems know once they admit to a little of the fascism they have to admit to all of it and they are trying to avoid that at all costs

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
