I've read and seen a lot about how Republicans decided to play the long game to implement their agenda. When it started long ago, most Republicans were classically conservative. That has changed to the point that some have refused to criticize Nazi's. How do we deescalate America?
Blame the shutdown on citizens who prefer politicians to vanquish their opponents rather than to work for the common good
Politicians get blamed for government shutdowns. But does the fault lie also with citizens, who are more invested in punishing partisan rivals than in demanding competent government?

I don't know what to do with how this makes me feel. I'm a parent too. Washington State has language on the books to prevent law enforcement within WA from reporting people to federal immigration enforcement. I hope that all states will do this because doing this to a 13 y.o. is evil.
Here is the piece I wrote a few weeks ago, with more background on this story.
And I pose the question again…

A 13 year old and ICE
Weeks ago I wrote about 13 and 17 year old sisters who went missing in the world after ICE abducted their mother from a Worcester, Massachusetts street, leaving them parentless and in state care.

ICE wants to surveil everybody. We need legislation now to counter this scheme:

What is a post on Bluesky called? On the old twitter, it was called a tweet. You know, tweeting your heart out, hoping your most dear respond: like a robin in the spring. A most urgent plea. I propose "ray": like the shafts of sunlight piercing clouds in unsettled weather. Anyone else?

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now.
Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it.
Don’t forget this.

If true, it looks like Hegseth's sewing the seeds of white supremacy to weed out non-whites from the military. This is so gross.
This serves as an illustration of how racism can be subtly woven into policy.

If you think that having all there is available is good, then you haven't thought about what is best for you. Learn to rely on what you know. Learn the skills to live. If necessary, learn the skills to die. Dying isn't the worst thing a person can do. The worst is betraying what you've lived for.

Dems love to fold when they have a winning hand. I know the establishment DC huddle Dems have failed us many times already this year. They're doing ONE thing right and listening to progressives, the play is working, and they're thinking of conceding? Absofuckinglutely not. Grow a spine. Save lives.
