Mark Kelly notably declines to endorse Chuck Schumer as the leader of Senate Dems going forward

Idiom Origin “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” This was originally *sarcasm* & meant to convey that the act was impossible. A boot strap is a loop used to help put your boot on. This 1921 cartoon from the “Nonpartisan Leader” showcases that you can’t pull upward on your boots to levitate.

So, listen, call Schumer’s office no matter where you live, no matter if you’re registered to vote. Leave a voicemail that says if Senate Dems cave without an ACA premiums fix, you will never vote for or donate to another Senate Democrat as long as he is Leader

Things are fine.

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.

They love our food, they hate us. It causes them no cognitive dissonance.

They will be in a Mexican restaurant talking about everybody needs to speak English in this country.

The word “pessimism” is doing a hell of a lot of work here. Realistically, it is a bad time to be Latina/e/o in the United States and that has nothing to do with pessimism or optimism.

heard y’all like Eugene V. Debs www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2347-e...

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

President of Mexico, and she is still sexually assaulted on the street.

If you're learning about Eugene Debs today and want to know more, @haymarketbooks.org has an amazing collection of books for you! www.haymarketbooks.org/books/1246-t...

So few of our national elected Democratic leaders could even fathom saying "Hear me, President Trump, when I say this: To get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us." never-mind meaning it.

“Years from now may our only regret be that this day took so long to come” Zohran Mamdani

Mamdani quotes Eugene V. Debs, who earns a roar of approval just at the mention of his name.

Mamdani: "I wish Andrew Cuomo only the best in private life but let tonight be the final time I utter his name."

MOTHERFUCKING IS QUOTING EUGENE DEBS IN THE FIRST SENTENCE OF HIS MAYORAL VICTORY SPEECH OMFG

BREAKING: NBC News projects: Prop 50 Congressional Redistricting has been approved.

“He doesn’t have a mandate” are you fucking kidding? Dick Cheney died the day Zohran is elected he has the mandate of HEAVEN

Seems like a good time for the Speaker of the House to swear in Rep. Grijalva.

A COMPLETE AND TOTAL REPUDIATION OF TRUMP AND MAGA

Every single county in Virginia shifted Blue.

I am glad on’t; ’tis a worthy governor.

It’s also really cruel to say this to someone struggling with depression

can’t tell if my antidepressants aren’t working or if they just weren’t built for this. like, zoloft was introduced in the 90s it barely needed to work then. if you got sad you could just buy a house.

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums. He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up. How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

We strongly condemn @CondéNast’s consolidation plans for Teen Vogue, a move that is clearly designed to blunt the award-winning magazine’s insightful journalism at a time when it is needed the most. More from our statement:

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

This magazine just fired all of their politics staffers

Food banks in #Arizona 👇 Please let people know 👇 www.foodpantries.org/st/arizona

A reminder that less than two months ago, the Trump administration abruptly ended the federal government's 27-year practice of collecting data on hunger and food insecurity.

"Gloria" shares, "We've been spending the past weeks harvesting marigolds to be sold for #DiaDeLosMuertos altars. It’s an honor to get these flowers ready to be used to honor our loved ones that have passed."

Sitting here in Arizona knowing that I will wake up tomorrow and I won’t have to change my clocks 💅☀️

“Christians account for approximately 80% of all of those at risk of deportation. The Christians most at risk of deportation are Catholics, 61% of the total. At the same time, about 7 million Christians who are U.S. citizens live in the same household as someone at risk of deportation.”

As a linguist, this is bullshit. McWhorter’s deal is to bend over backwards to excuse racism.

“some people abuse SNAP” your soul is rotten

The outbreak, centered in the former polygamist Mormon area of Short Creek, is the state's biggest in decades.

The Lowdown is so good. Sterlin Harjo is so good.

Wait til these anti-trans losers find out that language is also a social construct.
