Lots going on but from outside it seems that at least part of the calculus was that flight disruption for middle class and up travelers matters more than life disruption for untold numbers who’ll be deprived of health care.

3/ the two from Virginia. Possibly Blunt Rochester as well. I want to emphasize that as we move down that list things get fuzzier. Lots of chatter and rumor. Figure in lots of uncertainty even for the people at the center of decisions when you’re to the maybes. But here is the critical point….

2/ The Senators who want to vote yes on basically any terms appear to be shaheen, Hassan, king and Fetterman. Slightly less clear but I think pushing that way are Peters and Durbin. You’ll note that four of these six are retiring. Others who seem on the fence include the two sens from Georgia and …

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio

There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future.

Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

Yeah. I'm two hops from every supreme court justice of the past 40 years and three presidents. One hop from a former gov. And I'm a total nobody academic who just wants to be left alone to do her research. The whole thing is outrageous

Yup. I had a guy a couple days ago make a snarky, condescending reply that he then hid from me. It is a dick move, and Bluesky allowing it is a problem

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT

Hiding replies without my consent is *dangerous to me*

I use the mute function extremely carefully for a reason

I need to know if people are being violent at me so I can take action to protect myself

I need to be able to choose for myself who hidden

LOL you gotta hand it to South Korea for gifting Trump a Silla dynasty crown. For those that don't know; that dynasty fell to financial instability, incredibly high taxes, wealth inequality and widespread rebellion against their king. Trump is too dumb to understand this is a prophecy and President Lee is basking in this moment, deservedly.

What strikes me, as a white person who is really bad with faces+names generally, is that the hosts of this show look absolutely nothing alike. Unless Cuomo can document a case of prosopagnosia there is no reason to confuse them except the obvious one

The actual interview is so much worse! He called Eugene Daniels “Jonathan,” was corrected, and then did it four more times.

WHILE he describes how diversity is a weakness because it apparently creates racism? So is less diversity the solution to racism?
