Day 295: Learning to Swim
I planned to write an exuberant post about the post-election night high, but never got around to it, and honestly, part of me thought, why bother?

Here’s the list of the eight Democrats who caved:

⚫️ Catherine Cortez Masto
⚫️ Dick Durbin
⚫️ John Fetterman
⚫️ Maggie Hassan
⚫️ Tim Kaine
⚫️ Angus King
⚫️ Jackie Rosen
⚫️ Jeanne Shaheen

Their excuses don’t hold water. They betrayed all Americans who were counting on them to stand firm and keep fighting.

Shame
If Chuck Schumer was a stronger leader, he would have been able to convince most of these senators to hold the line.

I’m terribly disappointed in him.

That is my mailbox.

But isn’t it good to get mail that isn’t bills?

Trump has threatened states to undo any SNAP benefits issued to recipients. Check your EBT cards folks - and get to the store. I personally don’t receive these benefits but if you do, Trump is already trying to take it away. This is heartbreaking! How is this even America⁉️

No, Democratic Establishment, today is not the day to hit me up with a fundraising text.
Today is the day to LEARN. It's okay, we all make mistakes.
So learn, we want better from you.
-No funding genocide
-No throwing trans people under the bus
-No putting your corporate bosses over the people

CA, YES on 50.
Get your ballot in by Tuesday
America First?

If Prop 50 fails — we’ll never put a check on Trump, who just gave $40 billion to Argentina while raising funds for his gilded ballroom instead of continuing SNAP benefits for struggling Americans.

VOTE #YesOnProp50 and get your ballot in!

Hey Netflix! Thanks for putting Sesame Street on (11/10) & helping CA defend democracy.
I've NEVER seen an ICE ad on Netflix. I've canceled every single subscription that capitulates to the fascist govt, and the only streaming I have left is YOU.
Keep up the good work. I want to stay.
