This press release is an excellently articulated rebuke on the regime's rhetoric that civil servants are just "leeches" on the American taxpayer. Says a lot just how many of us are willing to go w/out pay if it thats what it takes to protect the country, "against threats both foreign AND DOMESTIC."

Sit the fuck down and read this 🔥 thread here. Its in response to the article posted earlier about requiring everyone on SNAP to reapply. I am mad, @msmedicaid.bsky.social is mad, and you need to get mad, too. Call your reps at the federal AND state level. Demand action to protect the people.

FACT CHECK: TRUE

222 - 6 = 216 209 + 6 + 1D (+1R) = 216 (217) If the 6 Dems who voted for and the 2 Reps who didn't vote all voted against, there was literally a chance to stop this. Minimally tie it up and make Republicans own this shit via tiebreaker. Dems refusing to hold the line. Every. Fucking. Time.

Hey @colin-ryan.bsky.social I recall you saying you'd want a Goobbue mount at some point? Well, they just released the loot list for the upcoming tome event, and the Laurel Goobbue mount is included for the price of 30 event tomes.👍 Maybe you can coordinate with your mods for how to snag it.🙂

"You let vulnerable Americans stand in the crosshairs of broken promises." This hits so fucking hard, lands an absolute bullseye on the source of everyone's rage over this betrayal. You're breaking your promise to fight for us, and letting vulnerable Americans take the fall for your cowardice.

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU. YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

So we're clear, all those who are saying "I'll never vote again b/c I feel betrayed by Dems!"...THAT CHOICE MAKES YOU PART OF THE PROBLEM. 90 mil making that same choice helped get us here. Vote for those who primary the Dems who aren't working for you. Be better than the Dems who quit fighting.

I'd like to thank MD's @vanhollen.senate.gov and @alsobrooks.senate.gov for NOT betraying the American people in this recent vote. You've continued to support what is morally and legally right, and I appreciate not having to be disappointed in my elected officials. Happy to have you represent MDers.

Democrats never met a fight they were winning that they couldn't completely fuck up. I sure do appreciate those 'yay' Senate Dems making my 40 days of holding the line at personal sacrifice entirely pointless. Bunch of feckless cowards.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

No, please. Don't strain yourself. We'll do it. 🙄

Now THAT’S a Project I can support!! 👊

A shout out to people who grew up refusing to accept "life isn't fair" from people who damn well had the power to make it fair and refused to use it. May we be the adults we needed.

Nancy Pelosi can be a trailblazer AND have overstayed her time in office. Two things can be true. I thank her for her years of service, but I'm also glad she's *finally* stepping aside to make room for others to have their turn to lead.

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

Massive wins for Democrats tonight.🎉 You can almost hear the seconds ticking down until seated Republicans start pretending they've never supported what Trump's been doing. Don't anyone be tempted to drink that shit kool-aid, receipts exist for all of them.

I love that Zohran did not praise Cuomo in his speech. You absolutely do not have to say nice things about bad people. We should normalize that in “polite” politics: Praising bad people is not actually “civility.”

Really missing Joanns today. Other "local" apparel fabrics stores are way further away (40min drive min) and way more expensive, and Michaels -- despite all their claims about keeping Joanns alive -- 6 months later continues to have barely 2 rows of fabric in even their most well-stocked stores.

HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD FOR THE END OF SNAP This is important. This came to me overnight through a group organizing in the PNW. Please consider adopting these strategies where you live. YOU WILL SAVE LIVES. SNAP runs out 11-1. Start a block/neighborhood channel on Signal and get to work.

Person, woman, man, Epstein, files, now.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

The same people who lost their minds over renovations to Cracker Barrel are totally fine with the White House getting bulldozed

Sadly, we no longer live in a functioning democracy.

The dooming on this site is getting out of control. Every time you post anything about politics some rando condescendingly wonders how you can't possibly know that elections are over and all hope is lost. If you've completely lost hope, I'm sorry, but shut the fuck up, OK? You're not helping.

The thing about No Kings the GOP doesn't seem to get isn't that we hate you as much as it is that we recognize you for what you are. You're a threat. You're a threat to our lives, our livelihoods, our families, our friends. We WILL drive you out of power. You haven't given us any other choice.

Yes your taxes should support disabled people. They should support homeless people. They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly. This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.

This Is Fascism

Why are there so many sewing tutorial videos on youtube that don't seem to understand that when your hands are in between the camera and what you're doing with the fabric, WE CAN'T SEE AND IT'S NOT HELPFUL.

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram. Community action works. Source: www.instagram.com/reel/DPZL2AL...

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick. Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

“It actually doesn’t take much to be considered a difficult woman. That’s why there are so many of us.” ― Jane Goodall 💙 RIP to a real one. My childhood hero

Donald Trump shut down the government because he doesn't want you to have healthcare. But this isn’t just on him. Democrats MUST use their leverage to protect our rights, but it can’t end there. Schumer and Jeffries can’t just go on TV or write letters, they need clear demands. We need action now.

Jane Goodall made the world a better place. She helped shape how we view the world around us, fought vehemently for the environment, and her love of chimpanzees was infectious. She will be greatly missed. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

These are all the dogs we sponsored in September ❤️‍🩹

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Get your kids off. They're coming for them through TikTok.

Never used TikTok. I won't miss a thing. Good riddance.

Kimmel: "The President of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he cannot take a joke."

It's weird how Tylenol caused autism (first diagnosed in 1943) before it was even invented (1955). What a clever drug.

This bullshit announcement linking Tylenol with autism is so fucking irresponsible and harmful. So desperate to prove they've delivered on their ridiculous promise to "solve" autism that they're gonna leave pregnant women w/out reasonable pain management. At every possible turn this regime SUCKS.
