I wish the Dems were just less OBVIOUS. Like, somehow in a convo I had with @jvl.bsky.social the other week, *I* am now the Eeyore who could see where this was heading.

Honestly the Democrats make it embarrassing to vote for them.
Please don’t think this beltway game of having retiring Dem senators vote yes while everyone else votes no is going to shield leadership from the end result. We see what is happening and can’t be fooled by those games.

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.
If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

There's a lot of news right now, and this is not, technically, news. But today's episode is moving, surprising, and generally what a good interview can be (if I do say so myself) -> slate.com/podcasts/wha...
Why Women Kill
A survey found 20 percent of women in prison for homicide had killed an abusive partner.

I’ve been working in DV for 13 years - this is the stuff no one wants to talk about. I’m grateful to these women for talking about it.

I’m begging my fellow Democrats, progressives, liberals, leftists (all of us) to dig deep and find some empathetic feeling for the Trump voters who are only just now realizing that they were used and lied to. Please.

Some wisdom I have earned:
People don’t change their minds all at once. They inch. The move slowly. They rationalize and justify and excuse, and if/when they move, in time, they will forget that they used to believe what they did.
Curiosity is a value in and of itself.

Okay, Team. It's time to call your members of Congress and DEMAND that the agencies in your community who receive federal funding have their existing contracts honored.

What's an opinion you have that would make a bunch of people angry?
Write it down in a notebook called, "Why would I want to make a bunch of people angry right now?" and then close that notebook and have some tea.
