A fellow Scrivener user! Best $60 I've ever spent.
I used to think a diary wouldn't help me much, but I recently made a folder in Scrivener labeled "Thoughts" where I just rant about random shit, and it has been incredibly therapeutic.
10/10 get a diary.

As an election nerd, I applaud @pwcdanica.bsky.social for getting this bill passed in Virginia!
Also: I was annoyed provisional ballots weren't reallocated back to precincts like early in-person early ballots and mail-in absentee ballots (regular and PE), so we passed my bill SB 1044 this year to do that.
So now you can see provisional vote totals by precinct.

We’re not going to “fix the Democrats’ brand” by doing TikToks or launching pods. The brand is a direct reflection of our elected officials. If we want to purge our weak branding, we have to purge the weak Dems. I’m looking forward to a robust primary cycle and new Democrats who know how to fight.

This is likely the final nail in the coffin for the Democratic Party's existence as a major political party, even though it won't be widely regarded as such for several years after this stunning betrayal of the Democratic base.

I'll spoil the ending of it...Republicans won't hold the vote on ACA subsidies. They have proven repeatedly that they cannot negotiate in good faith.
Whatever else is in the deal, agreeing to merely have a vote on ACA is a fig leaf. Even if it passes the Senate, it won't in the House, which also makes it an easy yes vote for the Senate Rs who might want to, defusing it as an attack on them.
It is a stupid ask even on Team Schumer's own terms.

The so-called "deal" to reopen the "government" includes no guarantee of ACA subsidies, no guarantee of @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social being rightfully sworn-in, and no guarantee of SNAP or any other funding being reinstating.

This is the facility that I and many others have been protesting. We’ve been hit, thrown, gassed, and shot with pepper bullets but none of that holds a candle to what is being done to people *in* the actual facility.
Read this thread. Don’t look away. Keep your eyes and the pressure on Broadview.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

Read this thread. This is what @katmabu.bsky.social was protesting, and why she repeatedly says getting beaten up by ICE outside is nothing compared to the torture and crimes being committed inside Broadview. These thugs must be held to account.
