American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Why has the government been closed at all if Senate Dems cave now? Didn't they say that they could not go along with throwing millions of people off health care?
What's materially changed? A *promise* is not action. ALSO fascists lie and I've been told by some Senate Dems that the GOP is fascist.

70 years ago, on this date, Emmett Till was kidnapped and brutally murdered by white men.
His family, including his cousin who was with him at the time, is repeating the train ride he took from Chicago to Mississippi in 1955 to mark the anniversary

If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them:
—Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings
—More guns don't make us safer
—A majority of Americans want gun reform
We don't have to live like this.

Aging members of the original DFL Feminist caucus who once bucked a hostile environment to advance abortion rights now actively campaign against Councilmembers Wonsley & Chughtai, who got the city to allocate money for abortion funds to help people forced to travel here for care post-Dobbs.
Phyllis Kahn should have graciously stepped aside 10 years before she did, and in the process mentored a younger replacement. That she did not is part of her narcissism and forever a stain on an otherwise remarkable progressive 1970s legacy.

Right now, Dems are hiding in their offices, scrolling their phones fearfully, wondering "how are voters going to feel about the National Guard being deployed?"
The right, meanwhile, is vigorously *attempting to shape* how voters feel about it, filling every medium with coordinated propaganda.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.”
They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

Look at the Minneapolis Police Dept, this is your public safety dollars at work. They show you this for a reason, they cynically believe nabbing the guy who stole your package or scratched your Tesla is more important than them shooting a protestor in the face with a 40 mm round.
