Call your Senators and tell them to kick Schumer to the curb. This is a good thread on the mechanisms at play.

Jean Shaheen is a spineless clown, but also New Hampshire is full of wealthy retired tax exiles from Massachusetts who like to cosplay as Democrats There are obviously a ton of normal working-class and low income people in NH too, she just doesn’t listen to them bc guess who her donors mainly are

lmaooo

On this day, Dr. Manhatten first reappears after his atomized destruction in a lab accident. Happy November 10th to all who observe.

It really does seem like there's a decent chance that these senators screwed us because they don't want their personal Thanksgiving plans to be disrupted.

Here's a partial list of suspected guilty parties. Call them if they're your senators, friends, right now. blacksky.community/profile/did:...

🧵 Y'all need to be saying FUCK WALMART* with as full of a chest as you say FUCK ICE. They've allowed 3rd parties to sell this racist t shirt which depicts a white hand outstretched over a Black fist and the words "paper beats rock" across the top.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office. If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

particularly when axios is reporting it and no one else — not even politico — is.

The "free lunches are bad" and "down with empathy" sloganeers never, ever want their words applied to them.

I hope Debra Messing is having an awful night.

People who are leaving NYC, please post pix of your U-Hauls!

Direct File is survived by its code, lovingly preserved on GitHub for potential revival whenever the leaders of the executive branch are no longer bent on looting the country.

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop. “If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???” Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.

Firstly, billionaires are not physically made of stocks, if a billionaire falls down a hole and expires his stock portfolio persists and continues to have value, secondarily, this is why one diversifies one's investment portfolio outside of the stock market, thirdly, okay, let's test this hypothesis

Fancy bathroom circa Lincoln's presidency.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Fixed it.

The best time to abolish ICE would have been in 2021. The next best time is if we win in 2028. At this point, any Democrat unwilling to abolish ICE must be drummed out of the primary.

learned recently that the guy who wrote "The Night Before Christmas," clement clarke moore, also wrote a takedown of thomas jefferson's proto-scientific racism in "Notes on the State of Virginia," basically accusing him and others of making it up to justify slavery. which, that's right.

If you're a writer/other creator in the United States, consider creating an LLC for your business and then signing up for a local area Chamber of Commerce. Many of them have health insurance plans that pool their members and members of other CoCs to create insurance efficiencies relative to ACA.

I very rarely revisit the "organized the largest Tea Party group in Texas in 2009" part of my life. And this is a quick and dirty thread, but yeah, I used to be a rightwing libertarian shithead. I'll do a thread on my militia days at some point if anyone cares.

Reminder: We spent YEARS reading thousands and thousands of articles on the Tea Party and how it was a true expression of the American people's will, and it never mounted anything nearly as big as Saturday's No Kings rallies. [1/3]

Guys new scamming method on bluesky. Please share this around. Dont fall for this stuff Block, move on.

OKC was just one of 19 cities in OK to have a No Kings rally. These are the others: Tulsa, Norman, Lawton, Stillwater, Ardmore, Durant, Idabel, Pauls Valley, Ada, McAlester, Chandler, Guthrie, Enid, Ponca City, Bartlesville, Tahlequah, Muskogee, and Miami. www.newson6.com/story/68f39d...

The reason gullible people believe all protesters are paid is because they can't conceive of anyone giving a shit about anyone other than themselves.

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

If Chicago wanted to make those Texas soldiers feel at home, they'd wait for a blizzard, then turn off all the power and go to Cancun for the weekend.

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️ As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike. WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

I think Bluesky CEO was supposed to be a little resume plumping detour but then users flooded in from Twitter and Boss Lady was briefly seduced by the idea of being a Riot Grrrl Anti-Caesar… until actual decisions had to be made. Then she began to resent the users for ruining her cosplay

i say this as someone who likes this place and wants it to continue existing jay is a liability

cool website you've got here, @jay.bsky.team

It’s becoming clear that one of the issues is that bluesky leadership never wanted to be running just another social media site. They seem to resent being reminded most of us don’t care about their vision of AT proto or decentralization, that we simply wanted bsky to be a better version of twitter.

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later. harpers.org/archive/1941...
