It owns that the actual reason the dems caved-in was because they were terrified that the filibuster was going to go away.

The conservative dems in particular were terrified they were going to lose the tool that would allow them to block progressive policy passing from a simple majority vote.

Hey so, this has been dead for a few days now. I have been getting stuff to keep my basic needs met without having to be a burden on anyone around me, but I'm running up against a lot of (at this point only near-)overdrafts as bills and services that I cover as a parent are piling up.

This is basically the biggest thing I have changed my mind on in adult life. Having been raised in a Land Of Plenty soc dem, I was convinced of the 'insane subsidy to the rich' case for means testing until I came over here, saw the alternative, and I am now an Universal Coverage absolutist

and yet

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

photos and videos.

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

the concept of informing the family group chat they voted for a pedophile twice so groceries could be cheaper but now everything’s expensive no one has a job and other countries won’t send us mail.

Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes.

Real elite emails: Send me nude pictures of those 8th graders we abused last weekend post-haste! I am the Ambassador to Turkey.

Get ready for the MAGA argument to be "How could we possibly trust the words of a serial child rapist like Jeffrey Epstein?! Instead, let us rely completely on the convenient alibi of Epstein's partner and co-child-rapist, whom Trump is about to free from prison!"

New Epstein emails show exactly why Trump wanted to bury the Epstein files: He knew everything For years, Donald Trump’s connection to Jeffrey Epstein has existed in a haze of cocktail-party rumors and conveniently selective memory.

again i am perfectly fine with locking every one of Jeffrey Epstein's friends in prison, Democrat, Republican or Whatever.

"bluesky will suspend you for anything vaguely resembling a death threat" is maybe the single most consistent moderation policy they have I don't know why anyone is surprised by this one

yes, even if it's a reference to song lyrics

One horrific thing to me is that the president- a man who has gotten away with everything including literal murder up to this point- seems extremely nervous about anything regarding Epstein coming out. Like how bad does it have to be

probably something an innocent man would do

JESUS. I want to remind you that Trump was mainly elected the first time on the panic over emails revealing... risotto recipes. Now, read this shit.

donald trump is a pedophile

Friendly reminder that dishwashers made after 1995 or so are so water and energy efficient that even if you ran them twice fully loaded it would still use less water than handwashing the same load.

So many "green" things feel like sacrifices. Dishwashers are not one of them.

The surgery is almost definitely getting delayed at this point; Payment is still due in two weeks.

A lot of other things are not going well right now and everything is severely unstable so I may go back offline from this end for a while

@weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social run for president and at least bring the right issues to the primary debates

FUCKING centrists. They are the enemy just as much as the MAGA crowd at this point.

Tailor-made advice.

I lost my Patreon for the time being. This obviously is a massive blow. I will try to resolve Patreon’s issues with my ASMR account, but I think this is the beginning of the end for using Patreon as a VTuber

Yeah if you're looking for work and having a miserable fucking time

the job numbers are lies

Steve Inskeep: You think the Republicans voting with you here will not only agree to these measures, but actually try to do something if the administration ignores them?

Sen Cortez Masto: If they go back on their word, then the American public will know where the Republicans stand.
