Holy cow— Shaheen is gullible
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"

THE THREAT GROWS
Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal".
But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.

With this latest betrayal by the Democrats in the Senate, it should be more clear than ever that the Democratic Party needs to go the way of the Whig Party after it refused to accept abolitionists.

Holy cow. The current administration needs to be surgically removed like a cancer would be removed.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

It shouldn’t be forgotten that a big piece of Mamdani’s campaign was simply “cities are cool and lots of people enjoy living in them” which in and of itself dismantles alot of rightwing talking points

I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us:
“The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

In an unprecedented move, Austria is regulating rents for the entire country.
All apartments that already have government regulation have seen a total rent freeze this year.
All formerly unregulated units are also getting rent stabilization to limit landlord rent hikes.

As Illinois lawmakers debate whether driving fees to fund to fund world-class transit would be "regressive," a quote from ex-Bogotá mayor Enrique Peñalosa comes to mind: “An advanced city is not one where the poor own a car but one where the rich use transit.”

The U.S. has conducted 10 strikes on alleged drug-carrying boats, killing 43 people.
Remember: no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're simply taking Trump's word for it.
He’s unilaterally acting as judge, jury, and executioner.
This is a danger to us all.

Stop saying that #DonaldTrump is destroying the #EastWing of the White House.
Because it's done. He's finished destroying it. The East Wing is gone.
