I am shooting my shot. I love writing op-eds. @teenvogue.com was my main outlet, but if there are any others (especially independently ran) that are looking for a contributing writer on race, gender, and the economy, I'd love to work with you. Signed, A Black woman who writes for the public

I have in my hands definitive evidence that my opponent has committed a world-historic evil. Evidence that, were it to be released to the public, would cause his supporters to abandon him and his entire world to crumble to dust. I therefore have no choice but to give in to every one of his demands

Guy seething with jealousy: Well, I think the normal sky is already pretty cool

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

I have to hand it to them, it's an incredible bit to publicly lose a game of chicken, admit that's what happened, and then spend the next day lecturing everyone about courage and tenacity

"I've gone ahead and notified Nyarlathotep's hierophants that we'll give them everything they asked for, and will also throw in a few sacrificial firstborn children for the inconvenience." www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/wev...

Dude… the real dangers are what we were ASKING you to fight against and you caved to it Why would we believe you’re going to fight any other battle?

In honor of Mia, thinking about becoming the Moreover, Schumer must resign account

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.

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

COMPLICITY NOT COWARDICE. COMPLICITY.

As much as the fucking dems are Charlie Brown with the football, I am also Charlie Brown with the football for still getting mad that they pulled this shit again. It’s footballs all the way down. Haha I’m so furious.

I think a lot of the anger this morning stems from a feeling that we did our part, but they did not do theirs. This is an oversimplification, but my dudes, no wonder people are like, “OK, let’s try the democratic socialist, then.”

Imagine Mitch McConnnell saying some weak-ass shit like this…

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!
