Sorry to this man, but when you are actually in a real battle against a corrupt and malevolent foe, you do anything you can to stop them.

None of them believe that this administration and the Republican party are all that bad. If they believed it, they would have left the wrench in the gears.
No one’s feelings are wrong. That’s not my point. We’re in a real battle, against a corrupt and malevolent foe, with huge stakes. We must win.

Let the record begrudgingly show that I, who had the time of my life at the Red Hot Chili Peppers show in the pouring rain in December of 1989, am staying home from the Kimya Dawson show tonight bc my foot hurts and it’s cold & the thought of being in pain while cold is too much for me at this time

1. Last week, we reported on WSU certifying an anti-trans SPLC-designated hate group to teach medicine.

Now, S. Baum has uncovered that the Michigan State Medical Society has certified anti-trans hate group Genspect to teach medical workers.

Huh well it turns out I heard from a few federal workers about this and well

"We civil servants organized to help our colleagues face the hardship of the shutdown, we put up with the pain and our only request was to not be betrayed like this. Trade our pain, make it count."

Again, if you're going to rehash the 2016 election, please acknowledge that the EC failed Clinton, not the popular vote.

If your rehashing depends on ignoring that more people did vote for her, then please shut the fuck up.

great point. as opposed to when the government wasn't shut down and Trump was scrupulously following the law to the letter bsky.app/profile/heid...
The full clip may be even worse. He explains that it “didn’t work” bc Trump took advantage of it to do a bunch of unlawful things. This is the same elite cowardice that has gotten us exactly nowhere. “Gosh, Trump is breaking the law and hurting people. Guess we’d better cave.”

And liberals are coping this morning by calling it "strategy." They're attributing strategic maneuvering to a party that has not shown a capacity for it since the Clinton administration.
MSNBC reported Schumer's office felt that the longer that shutdown went on, the more likely it was that people would start to blame the Dems.

My kingdom for Democrats that don't govern out of fear. I've said it before and I'll say it again: The American people are far braver than their reps.

*white America gave control
Folks are so online they think performance is everything.
But the truth is that elections have consequences.
America gave control of the government to maga last year.
Scotus, White House, Congress.
That is the hard truth.
Keep the government open or closed.
Both options suck.

I need everyone to take the time today to learn about incremental change and then consider how much incremental change was flushed down the toilet last November. It took DECADES TO GET WHERE WE WERE.

This is wtf we were trying to tell the whites!!!!! So now the goal is to what? Forget that?
