Fars In ATL

not enough chatter about how frequently members fly and how attacking airport capacity directly affects them in a way that cutting SNAP does not

so much suffering and sacrifice only to to agree to terms that will beget more suffering and sacrifice.

The Democrats who caved just taught Republicans that using mass starvation as a weapon works.

I have never been more ashamed to be a democrat. Voting with Republicans to end the shut down without obtaining any tangible concession on the ACA subsidies is beyond shameful.. all incumbent senators and congressman need to be voted out of office in the 2026 midterms. They’re all corrupt.

Schumer and the Dems are about to teach Trump the lesson that they’ll cave whenever he abuses power to sufficiently hurt people.

I swear to god Warnock and Ossoff will find Georgia a very prickly place if they flip on this for nothing.
Ossoff especially needs strong Dem base support next year. Unmotivated Dems on the ground sunk Harris here.
Ossoff voting for the Riley act already has him on thin ice with many strong Dems.

Will not be voting next year for him if he caves. Simple as that.

No way! 🙄 these people are trying to whitewash their legacy.

What tf are we doing? Like honestly- can a Trumper explain to be what tf we are doing?

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

Nah, Mamdani won because of the people, not establishment Dems

I’ve scrolled through his feed just now and don’t see any references to Mamdani 🙄 watch these establishment dems blow up the midterms 😑

INTERESTING TIMES WITH ROSS DOUTHAT Mamdani's Victory Is Less Significant Than You Think

we can chalk it up to youth and inexperience but the biggest mistake the mamdani campaign made was winning by 8.8% and not 1.5%, which is the margin needed for the media to say it’s a total mandate

Maybe during the furlough we can volunteer to help Cuomo pack up & leave?

“Vote blue no matter who” except when you stand against genocide & billionaires - the centrist Dem modus operandi

🤮

Maybe channel some Mamdani before your election & start speaking out against the Palestinian genocide, the billionaires getting richer, the class warfare, affordability, the wealth disparity, the gross corruption of this administration…

He has declared war on Trump and made people excited about being New Yorkers. I’m already proud to live here and my god, that was the best NYC pride, don’t fuck with us speech I’ve heard in my lifetime

Watching Mamdani's victory speech, I'm struck by his—and his campaign's—unabashed vision of the US as an immigrant society, a culture built from the ground up from diversity. It is a complete rejection and reversal of the search for a white-washed homogeneity that the political right projects.

Normal people are just sick to fucking death of the cruelty and meanness

Link?

He’s acing the mediocre white man.

“Living in the shadows” - you eloquently stated what I as a brown Muslim woman have been quietly enduring for decades… it’s been suffocating.

No more.

the symbolism of “Trump destroying the White House for a overpriced luxury vanity project, during a government shut down, days after a historically-large mass demonstration against his regime called “No Kings”’ would be rightly viewed as laying it on a little thick if it was in a work of fiction

You could upload them as stories & they disappear in 24 hours. Done. Gone forever.

Then she nods in agreement & says or maybe there’s nobody left here to do the work…?

And that’s how you start reminding ppl where we are under Republicans.

My fave thing to do in public when forced to do small talk w/ random white ppl is to complain abt prices of errthang e.g. WW at the doc office complaining how the main foyer still has not been fixed & I spin around & say oh hon everything cost so much these days… those tariffs, ya know?

I'm not afraid. Come and get me, Donald.

I will stand up for the law and the Constitution. That’s what we do in the State of Illinois.

Seems to never see & never hear important news. Why don’t reporters ask him what tf he does with his time?
