Call your reps and demand Schumer be removed from leadership
Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him
And they should, given this is his fault.
And they should, given this is his fault.
This is a lovely sentiment but Schumer isn't up for re-election until 2028 and he knows this. At which point he will be 77/78. There's no mechanism to recall a sitting senator AFAIK.

Beautiful essay from @iamleslierangel.bsky.social about the pressure to assimilate in the Dallas suburbs, about the whitewashed version of history taught in Texas classrooms — and about how journalism let’s us evolve.

I Learned a Whitewashed Version of Texas History in School. Journalism Taught Me the Stories That Got Left Out.
As a Latina and a child of immigrants, a college journalism class taught me there was more to being Texan than the myths we tell ourselves.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

Of the 340 million Americans, minus the 56M over 65, very few (close to none, likely) will know that they are still technically in a #Covid high-risk category. And pharmacies/GPs will be just as clueless.
