tired all the time

Otters with hats again, for no reason other than otters in hats!

The Republicans are going all the way to the Supreme Court to starve hungry children but please tell me again how the shutdown is the fault of the Democrats.

Taps sign

And as a shopper, please, leave me alone. I don't want to smile or say hello back.

Fox: 70% of Americans say groceries cost more than they did a year ago, and about 60% blame Trump.

I’ve never seen an American elected official fight so hard to starve people.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107.

12 days of work in 107 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

And he didn't even actually grow up in Appalachia.

Really? You're gonna make me do this one?

Thou Shalt Not Starve Your Own People.

There you go.

And go to bed feeling optimistic for the morning.

I’d forgotten what it’s like to see election returns and not feel physically ill

Who would have thought... all it takes is a genuine, caring, joyful person who is willing to go out and talk to everyday people about their struggles and hopes for the future. One of the best campaigns I've ever seen.

Zohran was polling at six percent in January. Nothing is impossible

The entire right-wing propaganda machine came after Zohran Mamdani.

The president and his allies came after him.

Democratic leaders, by and large, did not have his back until the last minute.

He still won, turning out historic numbers and inspiring young voters.

His politics can win anywhere.

Just throwing it out there for the Dem establishment…people outside NYC want folks like Mamdami too.

So many predicted close races, which is understandable. But turnout favored the anti-kings…. And blew the predictions up. 2026, and 2028….. stand back and stand by

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC.

It didn't matter.

Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

for those who don't know what democratic socialist is:

a democratic socialist supports social ownership and economic democracy, but insists these goals be achieved through free elections, civil rights, and democratic governance.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Every night I make a To Do list that hinges entirely on me waking up as a completely different person

Obama is better than caffeine…any day. I had almost forgotten what it sounds like when a fine orator is at the podium.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.

“If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???”

Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.

40% of live births in America are paid for by Medicaid.

Slash that shit and then what?

Babies die. Mothers die. We all pay more for every kind of medical care and hospitals go belly up.

How. Is. That. Winning?

There was a time when I thought the Tea Party was as crazy as they could get.

I was wrong.

If the GOP doesn’t want tax dollars going to food, healthcare, housing, ed, SS, veterans’ care, housing, research, science, art, infrastructure, transit, childcare, the environment, public broadcasting, diplomacy, regulatory agencies, or job training… WTF are we paying them for?

I'm not even sure that it's because he's tone deaf... he likely knows, he just does not care.
