"Authoritarians worldwide have discovered how to exploit a weakness in democratic opposition: they weaponize our compassion against our principles."
This is the stuff, from @adambonica.bsky.social. All of it. "Normal politics" is wildly inadequate in the face of the far right authoritarianism.

This is potentially ok news: we MIGHT be able to pressure the Senate enough, IF we press the 8 Dems who voted with the Republikkkans HARD.
PLEASE keep calling and leaving messages, find the numbers in my pinned post!

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.
Let’s be clear: Chuck Schumer is the one ending this shutdown, no matter how the votes read.
Chuck Schumer is claiming that he’s voting no, while letting other Senators (Fetterman, Kaine, King, etc) do HIS dirty work.
He must be removed from his leadership & primaried for the sake of this country

Quit Amazon and all of their affiliates now! They have already started replacing workers with robots. Their goal is to replace half a million workers with robots. Their reason? Humans are inefficient and cutting into their bottom line. But they need humans to buy their products so stop buying them!

I think a lot about this quote from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944:
“America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.
