Inspired by rewatching Last of the Mohicans tonight, it's time to make a list of my favorite movies, in no order. What I'd recommend to anyone.

Whatever’s happening in the Senate, I want everyone to read this & remember that this is our lives. In Chicago. The suburbs. Everywhere. We fight it every day. With organizing. With cantankerousness. With courage. With humor & kindness & generosity & solidarity & patriotism & love
And we will win
And we will win
Read every word & share with everyone you know. This is real life here in Chicago. Americans need to know this grotesque reality & stand with us.
Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

No, you fight the fights that need fighting. And right now, the fight that needs fighting is putting the fear of the Dem base into Democratic cowards who caved to fascism. If you want to cave @whitehouse.senate.gov, we'll come after you next. Lead or get out of our way.
But there are real dangers out there that must be fought; and energy spent fighting each other is energy lost to that bigger fight.

Every one of these 8 plus Schumer should be stripped of all leadership positions. They betrayed their country and their voters by caving to a fascist.
Democrats are demanding new leadership after Schumer failed to stop a GOP-backed funding deal that doesn't guarantee continued health care subsidies. Progressives like Ro Khanna blasted him for giving in and warned premiums could soar as a result.
Democrats Call for New Leadership After Schumer Caves on “Terrible” GOP Deal
“If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing … what will you fight for?” said Ro Khanna.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

What a way to learn that there was a Division I head football coach named Mickey Mental
Weber State has parted ways with football coach Mickey Mental, who went 3-7 this season and was 13-20 (8-14 Big Sky) in three overall years.
Brent Myers (offensive line) has been named interim head coach for the season’s final two games.

Hey Dick, even if Thune keeps his word that doesn't get you anywhere
Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now

And the truly craziest thing abt this cave is that someone seeing the invasion of Chicago firsthand, Dick Durbin, doesn't understand this.
seems to me that those democrats inclined not to fight perceive themselves as living through a somewhat ordinary cycle of presidential overreach and backlash and not something much more significant and dangerous
