Text I received from a senior House Democratic staffer who is NOT HAPPY about the Senate deal 👀

My friends who work in government have gone into debt to protect people's healthcare, they are being fucking betrayed by wealthy Senators who never stopped getting paid.

In a normal democracy, a total collapse of party leadership would result in an no-confidence vote and immediate snap elections to find leaders who can lead

Did you know that in Canada, if a budget doesn’t pass the government doesn’t shut down? Federal workers aren’t furloughed. Funding for social services doesn’t dry up. Failure to pass a budget triggers an election. It puts the politicians jobs on the line. They get the budget passed.

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

No one: Not a soul on earth: Chuck Schumer: Time to hand my ass and everyone else's to the Republicans again

Learn these motherfuckers' names, they just betrayed every single member of the Democratic coalition and let Republicans rip healthcare away from over 11 million people. Durbin Hassan King Cortez Masto Kaine Shaheen Fetterman Rosen

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.

A bunch of us in my apartment building are helping a single mother with two small children because she didn't get her SNAP benefits this month.

One of the more insidious forms oppression takes is in the restriction of the language necessary to discuss one’s own oppression. Whether it’s algorithmic censorship of terms or the semantic flattening of the terms themselves, it all has the effect of preventing people from naming their pain

They’re wearing masks so they can’t be prosecuted later. As long as they think they can’t be prosecuted, their crimes will intensify. They will torture, starve and kill, as they have already, on greater and greater scale. Signed, someone who’s covered the unaccountable War on Terror for 23 years.

Can’t stop having

Men will literally destroy the planet to build an AI to create weird images of girls to tell them that they're loved instead of going to therapy.

Being on SNAP benefits for 17 years, I've NEVER been told I wouldn't be paid my benefits. NEVER. What is going on is BEYOND cruel. The ppl w/disabilities, ppl w/chronic illnesses & cancer, seniors already isolated, the 16M hh's w/children. WE REFUSE TO BE A NUMBER. WE ARE PEOPLE. WE DESERVE DIGNITY.

You shouldn't have to be rich to have dedicated healthcare teams who actually pay attention to, communicate with, and all around give a genuine fuck about you

Truly a good read—and funny.

You fucking people will let anyone off the hook for their violent hateful beliefs and all they have to do is say shiny words you like You’re all a bunch of Nazi tattoo forgiving, Jewish space lasers forgetting gullible marks getting played for fools As a Jew I suggest you all go fuck yourselves.

All 31 far-right Moms for Liberty terrorists lost their 2025 election bids. Great news for what remains of our democracy.

Musk could end poverty, instead he created it. At least tax him #EatTheRich

When people are so excited about your demise they make sure to prepare a scathing rebuke of your life before their own—just to make sure.

The machine that's being built to replace all workers needs workers to bail it out so it can keep existing

Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

My mom will die believing the GOP has been chosen by god to lead America to be not just more perfect but entirely perfect I’ve asked her to help me understand her principles but her responses are incoherent—& the last time I asked, she revisited a classic: relitigating whether I was raped as a teen

Obamacare is far superior to Trumpcare, which consists of all us going broke and dying prematurely.

Better question: Did men ruin the entire fkng world?

I was co-captain of the cheer squad in high school when I got kicked off for a “lack of school spirit” lol I don’t know or care for The Sports AND I get a thrill out of the total confusion I feel when a big game is on & all of you are using words formed from letters in unknowable combinations

“woke” is when you acknowledge that black people have contributed to the united states

I can't believe I have to post this, but in these uncertain times, it's better to be prepared.

Minorities likely already live w transgenerational trauma bc of things like abuse from governments, gangs, & so on Indigenous ppl, descendants of enslaved ppl, & refugees are traumatized at the molecular level Infants & toddlers watching their parents be abused will pass this trauma to their kids

My dad lived 82 years, 72 of them suicidal. Growing up as a queer Mormon in Utah was only possible because of a closet built like a billionaire’s bunker’s safe room Every person is born with the need and right to be fully loved.

A deep commitment to anti-wokeness

This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt? He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

HE NOT LIKE US but that’s okay, we not like him, either

My 12yo girl becomes immobile & entirely mute when majorly stressed She was labeled non-compliant & a bully in elem school bc her facial expression was “aggressive” when immobile As her mom, I even fell into moments of blaming her for *my* failure to keep her safe Power should protect, not abuse

The House will be out again next week. That's 20 work days in 19 weeks.

I finally get it: The great era MAGA has been yearning to return to is the Great Depression

What could Elon Musk’s $1 trillion compensation package fund if it were returned to the people? www.instagram.com/p/DQxKWX-E4L...

Given Elon Musk’s racist obsession with the great replacement theory, he’s probably proud of this accomplishment.
