My partner's brother began experiencing random dizziness last month, which rapidly escalated to more severe symptoms resulting in being wheelchair bound and a diagnosis of some form of MS (more tests await). He can't work and is facing major financial difficulties. Anything helps. <3

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

The "pro-life" right says "fuck them kids!" As usual.
Eliminating four Salt Lake County-run day cares will force more than 250 families to find other arrangements in a state that already has a shortage of licensed providers — and save the average county homeowner only 23 cents a month.
Keeping S.L. County-run day cares open would cost taxpayers a cup of coffee a year. It’s too pricey for GOP council members.
The plan to shutter day cares that serve more than 250 families has inspired a coalition of parents to fight back.

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

Weber State University, for my Utah peeps interested.
This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

ICE GOONS violently descended upon Evanston, Illinois, forcibly removing unarmed individuals from a vehicle and pointing guns at bystanders.

Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain.

The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

My first formal remarks as mayor-elect: When I say, “This is your city,” I mean you have a right to be here, no matter your background. But I also mean that we have a collective responsibility to this place and each other.

notice how there’s a lot of Dems like Chris Murphy talking a big game but refusing to call for Schumer’s resignation. each one should never be given another chance to hold office unless they’re willing to call to oust Schumer
In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."

The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.

And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

Two possibilities re: Schumer. First, and most generously, he's got zero control over his caucus. Second, and most likely, he engineered the Dem capitulation for a wink and a nod from Republicans, intentionally allowing 8 Senators either not up for election next year or retiring to vote Yes.

My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time.
No more hiding behind election terms.

“We’ll see.”

We’re supposed to accept that Democratic leadership allowed this caliber of strategist to negotiate a deal with the most diabolical, mendacious group of politicians in American government.
Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

Seattle! Check your ballot status! Katie Wilson is ahead by the slimmest of margins (91 votes at today's count) and there are up to a couple thousand ballots with verification issues.
This race could very easily be decided by challenged ballots. Use this link to track your ballot, and remind your friends and family to do the same: info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/...

Amazon thinks it's my responsibility to track down a package delivered to a completely different address. Cool.

He fucking orchestrated this, by getting 8 politicians not up for reelection to vote for this and acting like he and none of the other people facing elections have anything to do with it.

They are all fucking complicit.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

What was the point of making government employees work for 40 days without pay and SNAP recipients lose their benefits if you were just going to capitulate and vote with the Republicans anyway

Expel the yes votes from the party and cut off all their access to fundraising, then remove Schumer from leadership. Anything less is mealy-mouthed coward bullshit.
As this vote moves to the House, I stand with Democratic leadership as they refuse to rubber stamp the full-scale Republican assault on Americans’ health care and I am proud of the majority of Senate Democrats who opposed this vote.

The arrogance of a Senator who is not even running again to take the lead in undermining the Caucus and the voters.
Shaheen: So let me be clear. No one in the senate chamber wants to extend the ACA tax credits more than I do.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.
