I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

I'd argue that Shapiro is the current status quo for Democrats (denying justice to the general public for personal power and attention from those with privilege) and the reason why people are so pissed.
You have to understand what pieces like this from the NYT are and are not.
They are not an honest assessment of the state of politics today.
They are a negotiation tactic—an effort by a calcified, right-leaning legacy institution to steer the discourse in a direction more palatable to elites.

Hey US friends, here's a script if you have a [D] Senator who voted against ending the shutdown. I guarantee they're making the rounds today saying they didn't want this. Bullshit.
If they're not calling for Schumer to step down, tell them to put up or shut up.

I want Senator [NAME] to know I'm furious with the outcome of last night's vote to end the shutdown. I'm fully aware that they voted No - but Sentator [NAME] needs to know their constituents aren't stupid or gullible. It's clear that this was a decision made by the party caucus, led by Schumer, regarding who voted what way.
I'm disgusted with these antics and sick of hearing individual Senators' mealy-mouthed objections after the fact.
Put simply, I don't believe [Senator's] No vote. I don't believe they were against ending the shutdown. If they want to earn back my trust and prove to me that their vote was actually sincere, the SINGULAR way they can do that is to to call for Schumer to step down immediately.
Thank you for your time.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4y2m2zdllgtpltlbbdymznkj/bafkreigst3a6cbjcfdg7vkm5zuh4tnj4i7rmmemwwu7mhkuceil6qnqisq@jpeg)

This is the message of a failed, feckless, and leaderless party. We need a party with backbone, and the only path to it is through a cleansing primary season. If your Dem is up for reelection, and you aren't damn sure they're fighting the fascists with everything they've got, primary the bastard.

Like every other comic artist I know, I rely on ACA benefits to afford healthcare. Despite the healthcare I have now still not being enough (I haven't been able to afford a spine surgery I need to return to my usual standard of living) I will be extremely screwed if I have no insurance at all.
The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
