This is why this surrender isn't just about this narrow issue but is rather the whole constitutional ballgame:

Democrats are affirmatively signaling they do not want political power at the same time Trump is transitioning the political system into an autocratic one wherein they're denied it forever

I lay there broad awake, feeling a great deal worse than I have ever done since

graphic in the mamdani font/colors saying: CALL YOUR SENATORS and TELL THEM NO SHUTDOWN DEAL WITHOUT ACA FUNDING 202-224-3121

Find your senators at reps.fyi or call 202-224-3121

I love to call my Senators' offices three times per week and try to cajole them into doing the most elementary political messaging and strategy. This is what it means to be an engaged citizen: leaving a strenuously polite voicemail for a 74yo on a more regular cadence than I talk to my parents.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

That is why care has transformative power beyond health. To be truly listened to – to be recognized not as a case but as a person – can change not just how one experiences illness, but how one experiences oneself and the world. It can foster the capacity to care for others across differences, to resist hatred and violence, to build the fragile social ties upon which democracy depends. By contrast, when medicine is reduced to data and transactions, it not only fails patients and demoralizes doctors. It also degrades democracy itself. A system that alienates people in their moments of deepest vulnerability – bankrupting them, gaslighting them, leaving them unheard – breeds despair and rage. It creates the conditions in which authoritarians gain traction.

This connection isn’t articulated often enough.

Joyce Carol Oates @Joyce... 17h O So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates— scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend's or relative's accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the "most wealthy person in the world."

Elon Musk ' @elonmusk X.com Oates is a liar and delights in being mean. Not a good human.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

Midwifery should be taught in the same course with fencing and boxing, riding and rowing.

Books aren't just what the writer puts in. They're what the reader puts in, too. And some readers are assholes.

I promise nothing complete; because any human thing supposed to be complete, must for that very reason infallibly be faulty.

“They are making it clear that they are scared of prayer … it speaks the truth that what they are doing in that building is evil.”

BREAKING: St. Louis City Passes Resolution to Divest from Corporations Complicit in Human Rights Violations In a 10-1-3 vote, St. Louis becomes the largest city in the U.S. to pass ethical investment resolution ST. LOUIS, MO — This morning, the St. Louis Board of Aldermen passed a groundbreaking resolution, “Ensuring Ethical Investment of City Retirement Funds,” ensuring that city retirement investments align with St. Louis’s commitment to human rights, racial justice, and peace. Backed by the grassroots coalition Not Another Nickel, the resolution was sponsored by Alderman Rasheen Aldridge and co-sponsored by President Megan Green, Alderwoman Alisha Sonnier, and Alderman Shane Cohn. The measure calls on the Board of Trustees of the Employees Retirement System of the City of St. Louis to divest from any companies that profit from—or are complicit in—human rights abuses, including war, occupation, apartheid, or systemic racism. It also directs the city to ensure all investments meet the ethical guidelines established by the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC). With this vote, St. Louis becomes the largest city in the United States to adopt a divestment resolution of this kind. The decision comes amid a national wave for justice and ethical governance during this election week. Over 50 people showed up to give public testimony Wednesday in support of the resolution when it was in committee. “This is a historic moment for St. Louis,” said Ray Brown, spokesperson for the Not Another Nickel Campaign and member of Jewish Voice for Peace St. Louis. “We’ve seen our city take a bold stand for justice in calling for an end to the genocide in Gaza. Now, the city has taken the next step—ensuring our resources are not being used to fund human rights violations anywhere.” This resolution builds on St. Louis’s ongoing commitments to human rights, including the January 2024 Board of Aldermen resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, and recent budget vict…

One thing the NYC mayoral race underscored for me is how easily the phrase "I don't feel safe" can be weaponized. It's an argument I would hesitate ever to use again, even for a good cause. I hope we can all agree that we have the right to BE safe. Maybe we should leave it at that.
