This is obscene, but you could probably already abuse a desktop-level model into being at odds with reality with some work.

My wife sent me this, which I had not heard of! Every day I'm amazed she's in my life.

I’m not a Sarah McBride stan or anything but it sure has been instructive how every little thing she does is supposedly the Final Betrayal of Our Community but a burly petty capitalist can have a Nazi tattoo and we’re supposed to take bullets for him. Is this gender? Is a gender happening here?

"It may not be much comfort for those bitter about what they see as a needless surrender. But there’s at least a chance that we’ll look back at this moment as a key turning point, one that produced a Democratic Party less willing to live on its knees." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

This should be a campaign promise from every Democratic candidate. Bring Him Home.

Very briefly, I am returned to the world of my youth in Alabama, where we hated all Northerners by default. Thanks I want an Aurora here.

instead of saying this was good strategy, maybe senate dems should say: "the republicans were going to kill people by starving them to death, and because we aren't monsters, we decided to let this fight go. We'll keep fighting. Stop electing monsters."

Replace Schumer.

They are, after all, Nature's perfect shape.

“If Schumer really wanted to use his considerable influence and leverage to stop this, he could have done that,” a senior Democratic Senate aide tells Zeteo. “He didn’t.”

I mean not *every* Charter school does all these crooked things at once, but I would expect to hear about this one on @swindled.bsky.social. Love 'cancelled 11th grade to get around state testing requirements' is a bullet point!

It's a terrible experience as a Kaiser patient that a thread with my dodctor that's more than a month old I can't reply. Feels wildly anti-user. However, when I think about it in the context of necro-threads on social media....

I wonder how popular banning CBD gummies will be. Surely the Democrats voting for this have a grand plan for it. Meanwhile, more states legalize weed every day....

seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

I've already gotten the "Blue Sky isn't normal" thing, but I just know that when I see leaders willing to fight, I'm elated. Leaders who fold, deflated. I don't think most of the Democratic base are dummies either. We know leadership in the Senate are folders, not fighters. Disappointing.

The Dem base wants the shutdown to continue because it’s the only time we’ve felt like our electeds were representing us: trying to squeeze the GOP instead of squeezing us to accept concessions; directing their anger at the Republicans instead of at their own voters for wanting them to resist

if you genuinely think Schumer and Democratic leadership opposed this & Republicans coincidentally got exactly the number of votes they needed to avoid a filibuster and none of those votes are from Democratic Senators who are up for reelection in the midterms next year, I have a bridge to sell you.

Why don't we put her in charge?

I hate politics as a game, but JFC there are some people in the party who simply lack the courage to win. Here in Herm Edward's classic video, he reminds us that the point is to win. The Dems voting yes on this are doing something else; they maybe need to find a new job.

Agree. Sen Hassan, asked what will happen if Republicans don't carry out the deal, "Well, shame on them." This is not what people were mobilizing for on Oct 18.

Donald Trump’s approval rating has tanked and Republican suffered heavy losses in last week’s elections. There’s never been a better time for Senate Democrats to cave on the ACA extension.

Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.

🚨 We’re hearing that Senate Democrats are on the verge of caving to Trump in another “Schumer Surrender.” That means your Democratic senators need to hear from you right now. Call: indivisible.org/resource/cal... Email: act.indivisible.org/sign/funding...

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.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

I know several people who worked on this rollout. They were really proud of it.

I don't believe in metaphysical darkness as an external thing, but damned if I haven't seen it dozens of time since 2016. Like we let something terrible in, while we were sleeping. It's here now, walking our streets, shooting our priests with pepper balls and abducting teachers in front of kids.

Sorry to see your number is up Baltimore. Look to what Chicago is doing; join or support your local rapid response networks and pro-immigrant charities. Help keep your city as safe as it can be from these fascist goons.

Wow, savage post-humous obituary. Quick notes: 1. Scariest words in the English language: 'I'm a successful auto-didact, and I'm here to help!' 2. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ne_supr... is a reminder that this is the source of many of our ills today.

personally I think supporting trump tariffs in a small border state that relies on canadian trade is probably his bigger problem. but I'm sure the median maine voter was also influenced by insults from california based progressive activists on a minor social media platform.

You’re right - I’m probably not a very nice person. I suppose I must seem like a real jerk! But that doesn’t change the fact that there’s simply no credible evidence that the 2024 (or 2020 or 2016) presidential election was hacked.

James Watson died today. I got to take AP genetics in high school; huge fan of all things DNA. So when he came to Google to give a talk, I went, pretty excited. He told us that autism was linked to intelligence, so if we didn't want autistic kids we should marry dumb women.
