So, do we all agree that the Democrats breaking the line on this shutdown are almost certainly doing so as preselected sacrifices on behalf of their party because none of them are up for reelection this cycle and all of their personal explanations suck?

These 8 Senators sold us out to Trump: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen Understand This Fact: Chuck Schumer is behind this. None of these 8 are up for reelection in 2026. Schumer asked them vote yes—they agreed. He's such a coward that he folded and won't even own it.

Healthcare premiums are about to go through the roof. Food assistance will still be cut. Billionaires, insurance companies amd corporations are the only winners tonight. Now more than ever we need folks to wear a mask. People can’t afford to get sick. Masking is resistance!

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Disabled people tried to warn you. We said that the rising eugenicist sentiment that accelerated during the “back to normal” phase of Covid would eventually hurt everyone The new healthcare plan for America appears to be: Don’t get sick If you do get sick, it’s your fault If you can’t pay, die

If defending capitalism means making it possible for cancer survivors to have their access to healthcare taken away from them for any reason then I oppose capitalism. That should be the bare minimum position.

We have updated our call script so you can let your Senators know how you feel about this (TERRIBLE) deal they just advanced... 👉🏽 5calls.org/issue/federa...

A simple plan Here are the names, do not vote for them as they do not represent or respect their constituents.

even when the democratic party has leverage and one of the craziest election swings the party intentionally self immolates it’s just so exhausting what is even the point of these people

The 8 Dems who voted against ACA are embracing eugenics. This decision will disproportionately harm disabled people. Many Disabled people have pre existing conditions & won’t be able to afford insurance. Many live in legislated poverty. Guess we aren’t dying fast enough for them

Same as it ever was

I need more whims

It really does seem like there's a decent chance that these senators screwed us because they don't want their personal Thanksgiving plans to be disrupted.

This is what those 8 Dems just voted for A return to a time when people died or became disabled because they couldn’t afford care People are terrified tonight that they will have to start rationing meds That they will lose their medical insurance That they will die Healthcare is a human right!

You should want other ppl to do well. Not to replicate whatever harm you resent because u feel that's the only way to process your trauma.

Don’t mind me, just overthinking what villagers I eventually want on my ACNH island 😂 I’ve decided to get rid of 4 or 5 of my current ones (all but 2 were random): I’m keeping Zell, Ione, Pashmina, Sherb, and Rosie I might get rid of Ava I’m kicking out Sheldon, Whitney, Patty, and Kabuki

if the dems do this, i mean FUCK...this is embarrassing.

There are endless examples of this regime of the bullies for the billionaires attacking our people. When we make believe we're in a fight for healthcare subsidies alone, as critical as those are, negotiating in good faith as if MAGA were normal party - we normalize the regime.

The clearest difference in our research between activated Americans (beyond voting, direct resistance) & not isn't ideology nor disapproval of Trump. It's if they view present reality as total break from norm.

Honestly if the Dems cave now they’re betraying the American people. Trump won’t negotiate. He’s willing to starve people to get his way. Imagine if instead of asking for weak concessions like a 4 month extension, they dug in and demanded Universal Healthcare?

A 20 year old Canadian was trying to visit her grandparents in Florida and was denied entry because customs officers thought she was trying to illegally immigrate. Trust me, no Canadians want to sneak into the US. This is another reminder that we should be boycotting US travel. It’s not safe

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.

My mother and I are disabled and unable to work. We have a power bill due soon and need money for food us and our pets and for water(we can't drink our tap water) #MutualAid #HelpSky #AyudaMutua #MutualAidVoid #HuelgaPorAyudaMutua cash.app/$DGMeek92 venmo.com/code?user_id...

They're going to strip healthcare from their constituents rather than risk experiencing inconvenience.

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.

Oh for the love of Sharing, since I just googled these so I could leave angry voicemails telling these motherfuckers to hold the line Schumer's DC office number: 202-224-6542 Gillibrand's DC office number: (202) 224-4451

A Federal Judge and Reagan appointee has resigned from the bench so he can be more critical of the Trump regime. Mark Wolf said: “The White House's assault on the rule of law is so deeply disturbing to me that I feel compelled to speak out. Silence, for me, is now intolerable” Thank you Mark Wolf!

Healthcare is a basic human right. Food is basic human right. Education, housing, clean air & water are human rights. Using healthcare and food as leverage should be grounds for removal from office. SNAP, Medicaid and the ACA are worth fighting for. People will die without them.

There’s a disturbing lack of outrage over ICE’s aggressive tackling and arrest of a non verbal autistic man in Chicago. Just like the lack of outrage over Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s been held in solitary for months. Disabled lives matter too!

Chuck Schumer 202-224-6542

First the USDA refused to use its contingency to fund SNAP. Then they threatened grocery stores for giving discounts to SNAP recipients. A court had to order the government to feed its citizens. Trump filed an appeal to stay the order. Now they’re telling States to claw SNAP back.

heads up for those with older folks who aren't as good with current streaming tech: there is a scam going around that supposedly sells a way to watch any streaming service for free. what they recieve is a vga/hdmi converter, which of course does nothing.

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.

been doing some light reading about the aftermath of the korean dictatorship and I think it's really important that we repeat this to ourselves, to our friends, to our neighbors, to our politicians

I’m no expert, but I’m fairly sure that intentionally starving millions of people, and then attempting to block any attempts from others to feed them doesn’t get you into Heaven. Like, there’s very specifically some passage in the bible about doing exactly the opposite of that.

The Trump administration is working as hard as it can to starve 42 million kids, seniors and families. Incompetence and inhumanity in equal measure.

Jesus Christ I know evil is the name of the game But I hope the people who need to see it, see stuff like this In the past week, they have told supermarkets not to offer discounts, sued to stop from paying and now telling states to reverse trying to cover it

they're actively trying to incite food riots to call for a state of emergency
