it is pretty darkly funny seeing posts like URGENT!!!! it is SUNDAY EVENING you must PUT DOWN YOUR DINNER and call your senator IMMEDIATELY to politely request they not press the big button marked "fuck you". this will not actually stop them from pressing the fuck you button. functioning democracy

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

god i cannot convey in words how much I loathe Chuck Schumer

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.

you can see why fascism is so popular when the other option is The Loser Party That Loves Losing

He's already declaring victory. Elected Dems, you are so stupid.

As is their time-honored tradition

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.

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

Senate Democrats voting to dismantle the ACA to avoid any problems with their Thanksgiving travel is tragically on brand.

I’ve said this before but I couldn’t get insurance when I was pregnant due to my pre existing condition…pregnancy.

I have called my idiot senators on a Sunday evening, you should too 👇

We’ve got to get rid of @schumer.senate.gov He’s got to go. Open and any and all suggestions to get him out of the senate.

entirely possible some senators experienced some flight issues getting home and decided selling out the entire American healthcare system for the poor was a reasonable trade for fixing it

Dandy is enjoying her basket again today.

They better not do this I’m going to lose my mind.

football’s all like gimme that coconut i want it it’s beautiful but tennis is all like fuck this stupid lemon i hate it

$2,000 "tariff dividend"

Why stop at a 50-year mortgage? Let's go full dystopia and make it a 150 years, with your debt lovingly passed down like an heirloom of financial despair. Generation after generation, working not for wealth, but for the privilege of almost owning drywall. Why own a house, when you can haunt it?

Whistle up Baltimore.

Not 100% sure this isn’t a blurry close up of a squirrel

“It’s almost like he thinks my needs are unimportant. Like he doesn’t care about my opinions, or that he doesn’t think about me at all. Now obviously that can’t possibly be true, because I am a big important boy.”

I havent read such a banger of an essay in a very long time. This is so well-written!

Somebody posted on here that if you made 1 million dollars a day, it would take 2700 years (years!) to get to a trillion. It’s obscene and no one could possibly be worth that much, and certainly not this douchebag. I’ll link the post below if I can track it down.

OK Mr President but what if we took that money and instead of giving it to people directly, we put it in a big pool so everyone could just go to the fucking doctor when they need to.

I always thought it was ridiculous that the scientists touched that face hugger thing in Prometheus but apparently humans really are that dumb

I tried to whistle over a stray cat in my neighborhood and a woman walked by, who I worried thought I whistled at her. So I said “im whistling at the cat” but when I looked back down at it I realized it was just an old fast food bag

I don't think people realize how much a trillion dollars is. Let's say you get paid a million dollars per day. That's a lot, right? If you spend none of it and pay no taxes, you'll have a trillion dollars in approximately two thousand seven hundred (2700) YEARS. No one should have that much.

what kind of country is this, where dangerous radicals can throw sandwiches at our brave secret masked torture police with impunity

No idea who did this, but I approve.

Uni has entered attack mode! :3

the sandwich guy walking away from the court house and suddenly, his limp disappears

The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

I am hearing that on his deathbed Andrew Cuomo received the light of democratic socialism and unhesitatingly sang the Internationale. Even now he looks down on Bushwick from the gardens of Astoria. Truly there is no god but DSA, and Zohran is his prophet!

we can chalk it up to youth and inexperience but the biggest mistake the mamdani campaign made was winning by 8.8% and not 1.5%, which is the margin needed for the media to say it’s a total mandate

Big day for people who care about other people

🧡🧡🧡

Democrats have flipped 2 seats in the Mississippi senate, and in so doing they've broken the GOP's supermajority in the chamber.

“Nothing bad can happen, it can only good happen” I whisper to myself

A great day for the golden rule of political analysis: when the right wins it is a resounding ideological victory that humiliates the left and when the left wins it is a precarious fluke that will surely end up humiliating the left. Conservatives are power’s landlords and the left merely tenants

BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani is projected to win the race for New York City mayor, according to Decision Desk HQ. Running on a campaign supporting Palestinian human rights just won. A new generation has arrived. A historic night.

Oh, Dick Cheney died? Well-- *sees Bluesky mod around corner* What's really important is championing the open protocol.

VP Cheney will be honoured with a 21 gun salute accidentally aimed directly at 21 of his friends

I feel pretty much nothing about Dick Cheney passing. He was a terrible man who I used to hate so much but now his kind of evil just seems kind of quaint. I would honestly bring him back in a trade, if I got to choose who replaces him.

ok sure. you hate andrew cuomo because he’s an unlikable slimy creepazoid with an adversarial relationship to the people he would govern…..but what if i told you a bunch of other slimy creeps with identical worldviews said to vote for him. does that change your mind

it's utterly wild how the Heritage Foundation president talks about other people if you found a guy talking like this outside, you'd probably call the cops

Really interesting thread if you’re into theology or even if you just want information to refute evangelicals bullshit

We live in the most evil country in the world.

i love winding the clocks back an hour. you get an extra hour of sleep and the only downside is several months of horrible despair.
