Things you don’t know about me:
1. My BFA is in Musical Theatre
2. I used to perform professionally and was an Equity actor. I stopped because NYC was impossible to be young, poor, 6’5”, and Black in if you were doing theatre.
3. I podcast! Pretty regularly! All the time!

The moment I tried a bidet in 2009 in Tokyo, I was hooked.
We have bidets on all our toilets and I will never have a home without them.
I now travel EVERYWHERE with a portable bidet. One lives in my car. One in my go bag.

my fellow americans, here’s your mission this holiday season:
1) if you don’t own a bidet, put it at the top of your gift wishlist
2) if you do own a bidet, then gift a bidet to someone else
nothing else matters this year… not jesus, not joy, not stockings, not roast beast… ONLY spreading bidets

Oh, blood in the urine, feeling like I need to pee all the time, pee’s cloudy, and it smells funny?

Hey Nicholas, what’s the harm to you?
Harm to SNAP recipients, federal workers, and others is real. In a normal democracy it’d make sense to prioritize reducing that harm in the short term.
In a rapidly backsliding democracy, harm is happening no matter what. Preventing authoritarian consolidation is the most harm-reducing move.

Somebody doesn’t remember how that actually ended for the Republican Party…
Say it with me: Tea Party of the Left
That is what this moment calls for:
A loud, uncompromising, ideological faction that exists solely as opposition to the other side and pushes their own side toward hardline policy positions.

The RIF provision in the bill is actually really strong and not just something we should handwave away as nothing, especially as people on here were saying the ask should have been reining in Vought rather than health care subsidies.
The RIFs language is actually great. Not only does it rehire the people RIFed during the shutdown, it makes it an unequivocal Antideficiency Act violation to do ANY MORE RIFs through the duration of the CR (Jan 30)
Completely stops Trump/Vought Phase 2 for now
Would love to see this standardized

Gonna poke fun at Bsky a bit. I love ya’ll, but we’re essentially all hardcore partisans and despite that some of us can’t stop yelling and cussing each other out and muting/blocking each other.
Then we all act like coalition wrangling is easy. Nope! Quite difficult!

maybe this is cope but I think the anti-RIF language is the kind of thing which you can keep going by credibly filibustering CRs: not a big enough deal for WH to veto over, not a big enough deal to nuke over
I think the RIF language is a bigger deal for Kaine especially than ppl are reading it as though. intent has gotta be to roll that to prevent RIFs the rest of the way

Cool, can’t wait to see all the white folks make it happen! Currently I’ve already got a bunch of mutual aid networks in place
And I want to know which progressive politicians because Bernie Sanders said that he thought RFK Jr had good ideas.

Two things need to happen simultaneously:
1) A rapid mobilization and expansion of mutual aid networks to protect, feed, and care for each other
2) A tireless effort to elect progressive politicians looking to oust these fascists and their spineless enablers

So funny seeing people give Chuck Schumer so much more credit than he’s ever deserved
Joker: “what is this? The good cop bad cop routine?”
Jim gordon: “not exactly”
Chuck Schumer: *appears behind joker giving him a massage* “mr joker sir, what if I gave you everything you want and I get nothing in return? Well regardless of whether you like it or not that’s exactly what I’ll do!!!”

“Assume everyone is lying and nobody does anything sincerely blarggghhhhhhahdhdgsgsh”
Assume all the yes and no votes from Dem senators are strategic and not sincere votes. The party caucus made a decision. No way to know how many were in favor. Then the caucus decided who would vote yes and no based on what would protect each of them politically the most. That’s how this works.

Im at the “building a new system doesn’t require burning the old” stage. I’ve done the “vote donate, help” thing and you couldn’t get me to run for office for $10 million dollars.
I’m at the “vote, donate, help, run for office or shut the fuck up” stage of political activism on socials man.
Cause most of the “we gotta burn it down, we need a new system” folks won’t bust a grape.
