Just dumping asylees in Southern Mexico with no resources, no way to contact anyone, and no way for anyone to contact them is wildly cruel.

Speaking of… Noticeably excluded from this image listing what appears to be touting the US’s inclusivity…disabled ppl of course

This is another “why” to add to your list: www.disabilityscoop.com/2022/03/04/p...

Why did I vote for you if you’re just going to turn off your fucking voicemail when you get scared of your constituents

Healthcare is a human right. Democratic Senators should fight for it like lives depend on it because they do.

yeah this but I keep picturing the cartoon Rep elephant and Dem donkey. too bad am not really that artistic myself.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Government is making final preparations to host the Deaflympics 🥹 www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/11...

Pay close attention to which health care "advocacy" organizations condemn Senate Democrats for fucking over the entire health care system, and which care more about Schumer liking them than real people staying alive and say nothing at all...

For anyone arguing that the SNAP situation requires that Senate Democrats cave in exchange for nothing, and do it by tomorrow — I would think the developments of the last 24 hours, e.g. states acting in reliance on FNS' representations, USDA throwing a tantrum, increase the likelihood of a TRO....

AOC comes out swinging

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.

Maybe important to note it was the disruption in air travel that Democrats couldn't stand and not, you know, 40+ million people not knowing where their next meal was coming from.

Blame *all* Democratic incumbents for this surrender. Not just the ones voting for it. The others could have voted to remove Schumer long ago and install a leader capable of formulating a strategy and holding his people together. They were content to stay with a proven loser.

it’s cute that they think we’ll forget if they work together to keep everyone’s hands off it who is up for re-election anytime soon that just reinforces that this was a strategy more of them agreed on than the ones who vote yes. nuke them all from orbit

*Call your senators — especially Dems in swing or purple seats — and tell them: “Do not join Republicans on a clean or near-clean reopening that gives away ACA subsidies, SNAP protection, or our leverage.” Call your House member — tell them the same thing. Tell them you are watching.*

it seems to mean, we recognize Donald Trump won't follow the law about federal employees but this time Republicans say he will "A vote on the ACA credits in December" — not "we will provide votes to pass it" but "we'll let you have a vote"

Dudes who get free healthcare vote yes on letting you die!

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

BROOKLYN WE ARE GOING TO CHUCKS! Join us across from 9 PPW at 8:30 *tonight* Bring pots and pans, let’s make some noise about Chuck folding (again). Not another #SchumerSurrender @indivisible.org @riseandresist.bsky.social @50501newyork.bsky.social @handsoffnyc.bsky.social

Contact your lawmakers: Democratic, to tell them to hold the line; and, yes, Republican, to stress that this budget will have grievous consequences for the entire country, including financial ruin for many of their largest donors www.congress.gov/members/find...

If a budget deal goes through without restoring Medicaid & ACA subsidies, they will never be restored. That's a death sentence for millions of Americans but also to the entire republic and economy: Health care is a for-profit business generating TREMENDOUS economic activity & will grind to a halt.

If Senate Dems allow this deal to go through without ACA premium assistance, they will make it much harder for disabled people to work. They are already getting screwed because of HR1, losing medicaid and SNAP funding. www.americanprogress.org/article/aca-...

Before the ACA in the early 00s when I was barely insured by my employer I was on a supplement for my illness rather than my actual prescription medication - it sort of worked - but only sort of and the fallout a few years down the road when thankfully I was ON THE ACA was horrific.

Marylanders who have Dem senators, they know better but call them to give them ammo anyway - no way on caving

I could be wrong about this but I also think it's worth contacting your Senator if they are not on this list. Let them know you'll be pissed so they might up the pressure on these assholes. They probably don't have a lot of leverage but who knows

I'm the spouse of an air traffic controller and I could not be more livid at the news that Dems might cave. I called and left voicemails for my Dem senators. If my family can hold the fucking line, so can they.

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.

One thing from our piece on Saturday: Sen. Shaheen is leading the Senate cave caucus. She's on the appropriations committee and wants whatever little goodies she got in her appropriations bill passed into law. As we wrote: prospect.org/2025/11/08/w...

Democrats are considering a Republican deal to reopen government with a promise of a later vote on extending health-care tax credits—but no guarantee. One Democrat says it'd amount to "unconditional surrender that abandons the 24 million Americans whose health care premiums are about to double."

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

ISTG Schumer always caves because he's got a trip on the line Last time it was his fucking book tour. My dude you don't remember what people did to you then? Do you have amnesia? (I know he's just another rich asshole but omg I am so sick of it.)

The emerging deal will be that Democrats get fuck all and then go on thanksgiving break while 41.7 million people slip into food insecurity. Fucking hell

Okay, Ezra is confirming that he's hearing D senators are actually plotting to cave to Trump and end the shutdown WITHOUT any extension of the ACA, just a promise of a vote later down the line. Call your senators, friends, NOW, and tell them NO DEAL without ACA funding! Find them here: reps.fyi

Asking anyone who's got energy to do so to call their Dem Senators and urge them not to back down on healthcare. 🙏 Your friends who are too sick to work to access healthcare are going to be really fucked otherwise. Being too sick to work means no paycheck to cover now-exorbitant marketplace plans.

I'm serious, we NEED to organize massive protests tomorrow at Schumer's offices, this man cannot be trusted to hold office, period. Not only is he not the right person for the moment, he is the WORST person for the moment. Riley, the old blind dog on my block, would have better political instincts.

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave. It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

Fax em too!? faxzero.com/fax_senate.php

CALL ALL OF THEM. SAY PRIMARY. "Sens. Jacky Rosen (Nev.), Tammy Baldwin (Wis.), Mark Kelly (Ariz.),Jon Ossoff (Ga.), Gary Peters (Mich.) &Dick Durbin (Ill.) were among the Democrats who participated in secretive negotiations to end the shutdown & are considered possible “yes” votes for the deal."

yeah has anyone ever heard of 'snake oil salesmen' that's from this time period!

I just saw someone say that people back in the day (1800s) didn’t pay for healthcare and (1) y’all there was a lot of advertising for health products! It was just that without any real regulation, nobody knew what worked.

also want to clarify for everyone that the only ACA credit extension possible at this point is a “clean” one because everything’s already baked in for 2026.

Can we please get some disabled folks into these positions? 🙏💙

Just saw on The Daily Moth that Trump White House appeals ASL interpreters order, plans separate feed and excludes emergencies. :/ The whole video is hard to find to share or link to - however - if anyone else has better tech skills than me please do!

Oh my god they are hopping scotus will tell them they don't have to feed starving people. That's where we are at. The President of the United States is asking the Supreme Court to let him refuse to feed his starving citizens. That is where we are at.

The National Association of the Deaf is celebrating a legal victory against the White House. A judge ordered ASL for briefings conducted by the press secretary or President Trump.

The chaos of this whole fucking thing is UNHINGED. Some states have already started to distribute money! Some people have gotten the payments! Is he going to demand they TAKE THE MONEY BACK? like what is going ON

Mom protests will keep you alive because we don't want to go hyperglycemic and we're perimenopausal and if you fucks are going to deport kids and grandmas, we need salty and sweet to prevent us from doing a felony on you.

literal press conferences every day. Go live on TikTok or the facebooks or whatever the kids are into

🚨New #BoomLawyered: SCOTUS is going to tear down the wall between church and state with this Colorado case involving a religious charter school that wants public funding. The last time this issue came before the court, ACB had to recuse herself so it was a 4-4 split. She'll be the fifth vote now.
