Time for @chrismurphyct.bsky.social to replace @schumer.senate.gov

It's an artistic representation of a circulatory system walking through a kitchen, as drawn by Dave Gibbons and written about by Alan Moore. It happens a lot 'round here.

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

Under Biden, the IRS launched a program for people to file their taxes FOR FREE (finally!)

Well, Trump ended it because TurboTax donated $1 million to him. This White House is just one big grift while the rest of us pay more for everything.

Thanks to everyone who made our @umphreysmcgee Indy weekend so special. What a finish to an incredible touring year for us.

Here’s a little surprise for you- a free stream of my show with Jake from 10/10 in Traverse City debuting tonight exclusively on @nugsnet!

Semirhage throws a fireball at Rand who puts up a hand to block it while pushing Min away.

#Idaho peeps,

With everything going on everywhere, PLEASE remember to VOTE!

In Moscow, we’re fighting FOR great candidates for the mayor & city council and AGAINST infiltration attempts by Kirkers & collaborators.

LOCAL ELECTIONS MATTER!

Dropped off our absentee ballots this AM 😁

Multiple accounts on ICE Watch Facebook pages are reporting that agents pulled a couple out of their vehicle in Aurora, Illinois, arrested them, and then abandoned the couple’s toddler in the backseat.

OK folks, here's the deal. Spotify is running ICE recruitment ads and has ignored asks to stop. It's time to tell them we won't stream fascism - by cancelling our subscriptions. Here's how to get started: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

Both 👍

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

NRA leader Wayne LaPierre holding gun with caption “ NRA accidentally forgets to rise up against tyrannical government. An embarrassed national rifle association says it totally forgot to do the one thing it has been saying for years it is solely there to do”

Tyranny what’s that?!?

The Republicans' shutdown message is abundantly clear:
Let us jack up millions of people's health care costs or we'll starve the poor.
I wish that was an exaggeration. It's not.

“America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, 'It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.' It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: 'if you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?' There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand – glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register. Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves.”

reading slaughterhouse 5 for the first time and i was absolutely knocked senseless by this passage, which is so true and relevant that it feels like it was pulled from a history book

Still pending

20 yrs ago, got off the bus in Pittsburgh near Grant St. A homeless woman, shambled out from under an overpass, mumbling nonsensically to herself. She crossed my path, but stopped, looked me right in the eyes and said clearly "You know when it will happen." Then walked away. Never seen her again.

Weirdly this is also what being an American is feeing more and more like.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

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.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Disgusting. Just... I don't know. It's hard to keep finding new descriptors for this.

Phew managed to make it another day without getting a nazi tattoo. It’s hard out here. Just nazi tattoos roaming the streets attaching themselves to people. Stay woke

Hey folks who wants to do some hero shit

Finally watched Sinners. Amazing movie, almost feel like the horror stuff was incidental, the movie holds up so well. Loved the use of the soundtrack, and how integral it was to the story and characters. Really, just go see it if you haven't already. Highest recommend. 🍿

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Enough is enough. Adelita Grijalva was elected on September 23. The people of Arizona have a right to be represented in Congress.
 
During today’s pro forma session, when the House is called to order I will seek unanimous consent to insist upon the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva.

Will they be some March dates to drop still?
