And here we have a crack in a pillar of authoritarianism. We, the people, must convince businesses it is not in their best interests to uphold it any longer.

Finaly (?) thought regarding the shutdown: I think the DEMs had no good solution. Ultimately, I think their biggest error was in their timing.

Continuing to chew on pros/cons of ending the shut down. Pretty sure GOP never would have caved. Regardless of viewpoint, THE TIMING WAS AWFUL! Not while SNAP payments were awaiting final ruling. Not while majority of DEM base wanted to continue. Not immediately after election success.

if you voted in Seattle you gotta make sure your ballot counted now
There are 1,700 ballots that need signature confirmation. That is enough to change the election.

I do agree with the @indivisible.org strategy: Primary like Hell, to get what we want out of our party, then Unite like Hell behind whoever wins the various primaries.
Because 2026 ain't gonna be no time for a protest vote. That much is certain.

I have so many feelings about the shut down of the shut down. There is no end to the things to worry about. But one of those things is the damage the DEMs did to themselves. Their base is, rightly or wrongly, *enraged.* This, we do not need. At all.

"Pressure still matters."
Is the shutdown over? Not yet.
Tonight’s vote was only step 1 of 5.
There’s still another 60-vote hurdle, amendments, AND then the House.
Pressure matters right now—especially on Kaine, Rosen, Hassan, Shaheen.
Stay loud.

Powerful. For the "protests don't do anything" folks: this is a protest *and* an attack on one of the pillars of authoritarianism: business.
Across the country, immigrant families are being detained, disappeared, and torn from their loved ones — part of a growing authoritarian campaign to erode rights and silence dissent.
