Dear god let this man cook.

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

these are our party leaders now, ignore all other opinions

Wait. Schumer is starting a BOOK TOUR THIS WEEK?!? Is that why he rolled over so fast?!? I’m done.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

Chuck Schumer right now:

A wet slice of bread has more spine than @schumer.senate.gov

They're just tourist doing tourist-y things.

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

When AOC and Adam Kinzinger are both furious at Chuck Schumer, for the exact same reason, maybe you need to give up the idea this is just a backlash coming from far left activists.

I’d like to ask every single New Yorker who’s remotely left of center to get actively involved in your local Democratic Party chapter with the goal of driving Schumer, Gillibrand, Hochul, Adams, Cuomo and all the other dead wood into retirement.

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

@schumer.senate.gov all we see is you bowing to the nazis so good job bootlicker

If Chuck Schumer enjoys a single day in NYC for the rest of his life without being told to go fuck himself at least once, then NYC will have utterly failed as a society.

@schumer.senate.gov go away you ineffective ghoul

i'm tired of being told to stop doomscrolling. i'm just scrolling, it's not my fault there's doom on there

as a person who spent a large chunk of my life working in democratic politics, a big part of the problem is that the only way to advance your career is to never question anything. the only people who get ahead are people who love the status quo and live by it. at every level, kiss asses.

this confirms something i have long suspected, which is that certain people are told that their professional and academic failures are because of “affirmative action” or “DEI” as a way to avoid difficult conversations about their mediocrity www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...

They’re banning TikTok not because it harvests data, the same way US social media does, but because they can’t influence it’s algorithm with congressional hearings or government contracts the way they do every other tech giant. That’s it.

“Will pay any amount.” Feels like one of those futile pleas we’re going to hear from wealthy people more and more in the era of climate change.

Constantly thinking of this Marilyn Frye quote From @taylorlorenz.bsky.social’s newsletter www.usermag.co/p/tiktok-is-...

sesame street isn't supposed to make money. the post office isn't supposed to make money. not everything is supposed to MAKE MONEY

To all the people upset about Luigi Mangione being made into a folk hero. Now you know how we felt when you made Kyle Rittenhouse into a hero.

Sure thing, Sharepoint. I want to open Excel in my browser. Why not. I want to open my powerpoint slides in minesweeper. I don't care anymore. I want to open a can of coke in a thirty foot concrete cube. Fuck it.

I’m glad we can confidently throw Nate Silver in the trash now. So tired of listening to that dude.

Who are the Drake fans? I’ve never met one. Where are they??!

This needs to be said, loud, and often.

Whenever we make ourselves smaller for them, they just shrink our box again.

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever. #books #reading #booksky #poetry

In the urinals, specifically

We are all witnessing anticipatory obedience in real time.

I stopped listening to The Daily purely because of what a shitty interviewer Michael Barbarous insists on being.
