Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

Any “deal” that ends with Dems just getting a pinky promise in return is a mistake. The American people are suffering because Republicans refuse to stop healthcare costs from skyrocketing. An agreement that doesn’t fix that reality falls massively short.

Never forget who sold us out: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen

“I think it’s a terrible mistake,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren says of the deal. “People want us to stand and fight for health care, and that's what I believe.” (via Igor Bobic, HuffPo) x.com/igorbobic/st...

If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

No health care, no deal.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

SCOTUS is just theater. A bunch of adults playing dress-up and pretending that they are powerful, wise, and courageous.

Notice how militarized police are nowhere to be found when Black people stay home?

Kamala was right about everything

There is no doubt that if Rubio was tasked with murdering millions of people he'd do it.

Americans have bystander syndrome. Most just stand around waiting for someone else to do something. No is coming to save us.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: I am here today to urge Canadians to avoid travel to the United States if at all possible and to call on our government to stand up for our citizens who are being denied their rights through arbitrary detention in the United States.

I want you to understand this is happening in our name and we know most of these men committed no crimes. One is a professional soccer player who was tortured in Venezuela and was working through asylum in the U.S. ICE shipped him for his Real Madrid tattoo and a picture throwing rock & roll horns.

"I choose the discipline of hope over the ease of cynicism. And I choose fortitude over fatalism." - AyannaPressley at Boston Globe Community Conversation this week

White supremacists hiding the achievements of non-white people is a pretty good indication that they know white people aren’t supreme.

I had a dream last night that someone did the thing. And then I woke up ☹️

Pro tip for Democrats: if Trump is congratulating you, you fucked up.

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

The media is now obsessed with remorseful Trump voters, white voters, who are now losing their jobs or upset about inflation. I don’t want to hear from them. I want to hear from the Black voters who stood in line for hours, only to be turned away because their name was purged from the rolls.

I'm not usually a doomer but there's pretty much nothing the Democratic party can do right now short of an extremely charismatic & media savvy leftish leader emerging who they can rally behind [destroying]

DO NOT WATCH! Here's my cat, Peaches, with a selection of dinos to look at instead

We don't have a functioning legislative or judicial branch; at some point, in the not so distance future, fighting this hate will be up to the people. That means all of us.

I asked the old punk, who used to always tell me that this society wouldn’t last, if he had any advice for this moment in which things are falling apart, and the old punk told me that in moments when things are falling apart it falls to each of us to take care of each other.

America is over. There is no coming back from this. If we're lucky maybe we claw back some small-l liberalism for our daily lives. But even that might be too much to hope for. The rest of the world has to move on from us. They now know that the American people can't be trusted. They're right.

Every mainstream attempt to grapple with the rise of Tate and other misogynist ideologues have posed them as a product of men’s despair. Few have posited them as an assault on women’s safety and dignity.

I'm ashamed to be an American. Fucking disgusting. #istandwithukraine

The news at MSNBC this morning is yet another reminder why independent media and voices are so necessary in this moment. As soon as you begin speaking truth to power and are Black or brown you become a problem. Support Independent Voices: youtube.com/@daniellemoo...

There's a public meeting about an improvement to the city, and you think "that's nice" and don't go. But the people who hate the project? They are all going to show up. If you want improvements to actually happen, you need to show up too. letschangecambridge.us/articles/sho... #CambMA #CambridgeMA

This is a terrible move @msnbc.com. Terrible. The @joy.msnbc.com was a critical part of the evening line-up and @joyannreid.bsky.social brings trenchant political analysis that no one else in the evening line-up has brought. I urge you to reconsider this. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/23/b...

Many are asking what should we do now? “We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’” -fmr VP Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman’s Award.
