Doing something I would rather not, because you know vastly more about fighting racism, and that is important to me.

Okay, taking your word for it. All the best, Dinah

Regular reminder that Axios stories saying Dems are about to cave are likely sourced from GOP staffers trying to make it happen.
Doesn't mean it definitely won't happen. But it's like those NYT stories that Harvard is considering caving (they haven't). The anonymous source was trying to manifest it.

Dear Democratic Senators: if you vote for this selling out of the ACA it will be the end of your careers. Depend upon it. You are there to defend this country against Trump and the fascists, not collude with them. If you become Quislings, you will forever REMAIN Quislings

Donald Trump will resign, get a psychiatric diagnosis, and play golf. Vance will be impeached and convicted. Mike Johnson will be inaugurated…I give up.

I have seen all of it. Other fine performances, but she is amazing with her interpretation of a brilliant, complicated woman.

I’m 84. I was told women could only be teachers, secretaries, or nurses.

This is not a justification, just an observation by a white woman and a former Southerner. Virginia has many patriarchal denominations. “Ephesians: Wives, obey your husbands as you obey the Lord.” As for me, I left when I was 21.

These corporations put smaller companies out of business, leaving these workers with no other employment opportunities.

Don’t say you’re sorry when you are absolutely correct.

Been down this road, but no regrets. I loved each one. And loved yours vicariously—I guess since Firedoglake. Best wishes.

Snow White terrified me.

Is there a living funny Republican?

Doubtful that his health will permit it.

Investigate Melania first.

“Ghetto asses” tells me this is about his racism. He knows nothing about rural America with small businesses shuttered by Walmarts, leaving people with no other employment options.

New York Post: “Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.) last week demanded the feds “review every naturalization of the past 30 years – starting with Mamdani.” My comment: Melania Trump is in this group. When is Rep. Fine scheduling her review?

I vote in Baltimore, where I spend the majority of my life and where we have a young, committed mayor working hard for this city. But this is the rare week where I wish I had invoked another address if only to dispatch a Muslim-baiting, Trump-licking sex pest into lasting oblivion. Mamdani for NYC.

I don’t know if that’s true, but it is certainly logical.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but he has only introduced three bills that have passed, all of them naming post offices. Senator Klobuchar, who probably has fewer fans, is a workhorse.

I’m grateful that it happened. It didn’t stop me from being a racist (still working on that), but it made me *desperately* want not to be one.

I’m white, elderly, grew up in the South during enforced segregation. (“Jim Crow” sounds too flippant to me.) We didn’t need to be told. Cruelty was everywhere we looked, and no one cared. They felt entitled and were immovable. I spoke up and got slapped on my face.

So Vanderbilt Hospital was just making up a diagnosis of Tetralogy of Fallot for my little brother in 1946? Did they practice voodoo or something? Because I saw him turn blue and lose consciousness.

He thinks God reads social media.

Screenshot of a Facebook post featuring three of the Portland protesters wearing inflatable frog costumes with the following text: Episcopalians on Facebook Elizabeth Rose Elrod • 22h • Exodus 8:2-6 "But if you refuse to let them go, I will plague your whole country with frogs... The frogs shall come up on you and on your people and on all your officials."

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

Butternut squash is my favorite, so I ran! Can’t wait to get the recipe!

So, he will do whatever he thinks is in his best interest. Maybe just being a ruthless dictator. Maybe becoming a trillionaire. Maybe impressing his mother-in-law, who is said to be a DEI leader. Maybe wanting the Nobel Peace Prize.

You’re probably right, but he has been a chameleon. Politico: “In the year before Trump took the Oval Office, Vance, who once described himself as a ‘Never Trump guy,’ was quick to criticize the former president, using words like ‘idiot’ and even ‘Hitler’ to describe Trump.”
