Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Excellent points.
Bynum: If you can find money to send $40 billion to Argentina but you can’t find money for food for kids and seniors, I have a problem with that. If you can find money for two airplanes for Kristi Noem, then you can find money to feed American children and seniors.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

Feeling grateful to these brave souls for enduring and exposing ICE’s barbarism. But also feeling like I see this mostly on Bluesky and it doesn’t seem to have public attention in the way we need. Please tell me I’m wrong.
ICE GOONS, laughing and pepper spraying Pastor after shooting him in the face with pepper balls, proceeded to gas the crowd who were trying to protect him.

Read this substack piece by Michael Wood.
“I wish I could be the guy who says, ‘everyone calm down; things have been just as bad before, and we got through it.’ But I can’t be that reasonable-sounding moderate floating above it all. Things are very bad. People should be far more alarmed than they are.”

I have always loved this song.
On this day in 1987, #TheCure released "Just Like Heaven" as the third single from their seventh studio album, "Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me"

#RobertSmith said he considers "Just Like Heaven" to be one of the band's strongest works, and called it "the best pop song the Cure have ever done".

I can’t stop laughing at this one.
Yesterday Pete Hegseth hit his own balls with a skateboard and then today he did something super embarrassing.

We’re at peak greed when the president brags about 24k gold décor for the White House while cutting commissaries, healthcare, and social nets. A palace of glitter for him, an empty pantry and hospital bill for you.

WTAF? Who is impressed by the hideous ostentatious gold he has used to desecrate the oval office? I think exactly no one. If they “freak out” it is a show to give him what he demands, or possibly a neurological reaction to the gaudiness.
Can't we just get healthcare

Am I crazy, or do Dems need to let Trump own his threats about mass firings and not cave to his game of chicken? #shutdown

How do they endure the indignity of walking on terrazo? The horror!
Trump is now whining to the UN about the UN working with another developer and not him on their building

We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes.

That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.
