So @underthedesknews.bsky.social is urging folks to call your Senators especially if they are the 8 yes votes and demand they vote no on the next round. This isn’t over. Like I said earlier: it’s boots on necks time. We raise hell and we don’t abandon folks w/ ACA.

This deadly capitulation is the result of a democracy hopelessly corrupted by money.
A no vote doesn’t prove they didn’t want this result, unfortunately: youtu.be/dl-OD5e58DM?...

This is Rosie and Pancho. Rosie has spent days digging a suspiciously Pancho-sized hole. Did not help the premeditated charges by putting him in it to check her measurements. 13/10 for both (TT: sophie.molkenthin)

The thing about being an artist is that sometimes you’ll have a really silly/cursed image enter your head and spend hours of your life drawing it. Hours you’ll never get back.

This evening one of the very kind con organizers took us to the Vigeland Sculpture Park in Oslo, which is amazing and you should go and Gustav Vigeland was extraordinarily talented and probably does not deserve the narrative I constructed looking at his work.
But Bluesky! You deserve EVERYTHING!

Some deep strategic thinking here: you shouldn't strike at critical assets of an enemy military because that cut off the "off-ramps" that said enemy shows no sign of wanting to take.
