Here’s video of federal agents doing a drive by pepper spraying that hit a father and his one-year old on Saturday when the Feds were hitting Little Village and Cicero

How stupid can this get

Hillary’s VP pick just folded dawg

Things are fine.

The centrists in the Senate Democratic caucus saw that the country was rallying to the party in the 2025 elections and resolved that they would do anything they could to kill that momentum.

This shit is why people don’t trust the Democratic Party.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

Guys just thought of this: what if we wrest power away from the capitalist ruling class and create a society not based on the exploitation of a laboring class

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

look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

They’re basically just punishing us instead of Trump for it all

Yeah it seems like the best political move is to give into this guy

it's ableist to expect the leader of the opposition to be good at his job

“We’ve been kinda fighting then we got tired and scared and stopped fighting, so you’re on your own. Sucks for you.”

one serious problem i see that i am not clear how we solve is, probably 50% of the GOP voting base if not more is really not interested in being part of a democracy anymore. and the only alternative is guys who think democracy means finding common ground with those people

thinking back to when eric cantor got knocked out in a primary in 2014

i could watch the politics masters pivot from “you’re too dumb to understand the senate” to “you’re too dumb to understand the senate (cave edition)” however i am auditioning for gremlins 3 tomorrow morning. i’m going to try out for parkour gremlin and defenestrated grandfather #4

i think the only way anything happens is if bernie starts showing up to work with a really big sword

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

i don’t think the axios reporting is entirely off base if you have house members out here soft launching an abolish-the-senate position lmfao

Senate Dems: actually it’s totally fine to make life worse for Americans as long as you promise us a performative vote

Why has the government been closed at all if Senate Dems cave now? Didn't they say that they could not go along with throwing millions of people off health care? What's materially changed? A *promise* is not action. ALSO fascists lie and I've been told by some Senate Dems that the GOP is fascist.

is it good when the dems in the house of representatives start calling for the senate to be abolished

this is senate dems’ second coordinated “just enough” vote to help republicans and betray house dems of the year, remember

Concepts of a Healthcare Vote

Saw this on IG from @elivalley.bsky.social on Twitter, thought I’d share

Just do it. act.dsausa.org/s/3429.9wAmcW

None of these people have any kind of actual right to remain in office

Means nothing if you don’t call for Schumer’s resignation tomorrow

the “axios is fake news trying to stir shit, dems aren’t gonna cave” to “the dem deal is actually good and smart and savvy” pipeline is real and best explained not be rational trains of thought but fear and cognitive dissonance

We need to hate establishment Democrats as much as they hate us

This is the exact same thing Schumer and the Democrats pulled in March. The exact same thing. And we’ve already had to live with the consequences of that. I’m so fuckin mad man

They have to be punished for this in so many ways

LITERALLY HOURS. THEY COULD HAVE WAITED HOURS.

democratic voters wanted their party to shut down the government for myriad reasons — troops in american cities, masked thugs ripping families apart — but dem leaders insisted the wise thing to do politically was to stay hyper-fxated on this one thing, ACA tax credits. and then they just… gave up

all they’ve done is proven yet again that you should *never* listen to some chin-stroking wise elder who lectures you about how *your* priorities are foolish and counterproductive while *their* priorities are strategic and wise. because in the end, *they* won’t even fight for *their own* priorities

Democratic senators voted to make sure that there was more money for ICE to harass your community

Trump enjoying another green light from Chuck Schumer and a coordinated surrender by Senate Democrats to do whatever he wants

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

no matter what the circumstances, democrats are always saving their energy for a mythical future situation where they will do something good

Trump just celebrated Schumer's cave by pardoning 75+ co-conspirators including Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and Sidney Powell, for their efforts to overturn the 2020 election.

Any one Senate Democrat can still delay the procedural votes necessary to get this cave-in formally written into law. Which one will it be? Already hearing at least one nominal opposing Democrat - Hickenlooper - saying his no vote is merely performative, he understands why Dems capitulated.

The only things I have to say in response to this are TOS violations.

"PROMISE OF A VOTE ON HEALTHCARE"

The TOS violations swimming though my head right now

I keep seeing regular Americans taking more risks every day to fight tyranny, want, and cynicism than I see from the opposition party, and I imagine many of those regular Americans are asking themselves what the value proposition of such an opposition party is, really
