Fuckerman, quit your whining and wear you red hoodie in public. Traitor! Screwing over your constituents is you favorite thing to do. What a disgrace you are to the human race.

Never forget this: The forces rigging our economy, undermining our democracy, polluting our planet, and stoking hatred are counting on you to give up. Cynicism is how they win. Stay clear-eyed and ready for the fight ahead.

When feudal kings talk about "Antifa" or the "radical left," these are euphemisms for Americans who kept learning after high school and developed a positive vision for how our society could be, and these kings are insecure that if this vision spreads to more people, it'll manifest into a reality.

May we rage when we must and rest when we can.
May we build the peace we so desperately need.
May we turn our hands, in all things, to the justice that peace requires.

The only liberation is a shared liberation. May we have courage sufficient to build it.

Shabbat Shalom ❀️

Stephen Miller and Donald Trump Want War They are ignoring a judge's ruling, ignoring the sovereign right of governors to keep their states safe and ignoring the on-the-ground facts to justify their dangerous invasions

"Donald Trump, with the help of his sycophants, is waging war against our own country. And he’s doing it for no good reason besides his hunger for power and his sadistic, sociopathic need to seek vengeance against his perceived enemies."

Meredith Lee Hill on Twitter: β€œSpeaker Johnson's leadership team has said privately they will swear in Grijalva right before first votes when House returns

But they're still deciding whether to bring back the House at all next week amid the shutdown

They were admittedly over-confident after 3 Senate Dems initially voted for the CR - expecting Thune would pick up more this week

He did not. It just failed again β€” with the shutdown dragging into next week.”

Republicans fully expected them to cave, but Senate Democrats continue to hold the line to protect our healthcare.

Thank you to everyone who is taking action and encouraging your Dem senators to keep fighting to safeguard healthcare for millions. Let’s keep it going: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...
