Tim Kaine on backlash he's getting: "I got the first good night's sleep last night that I've gotten since Oct 1, b/c I wasn't worried about being able to look Capitol Police in the eye when I walked in, or what a furloughed fed worker would say to me at church, or what somebody would say about SNAP"

The @democrats.senate.gov are stupid to agree to this
Appeasing the bully just gives them more courage to break more things
@schumer.senate.gov needs to step aside NOW & every senator who voted for this needs to be primaried by someone with courage to stand up for the people, not the republicans.

Senate Democrats are meeting behind closed doors to discuss the emerging deal. “Stay tuned,” Schumer tells us with a grin.

We said that the rising eugenicist sentiment that accelerated during the “back to normal” phase of Covid would eventually hurt everyone
The new healthcare plan for America appears to be:
Don’t get sick
If you do get sick, it’s your fault
If you can’t pay, die

They’re wearing masks so they can’t be prosecuted later. As long as they think they can’t be prosecuted, their crimes will intensify. They will torture, starve and kill, as they have already, on greater and greater scale.

I’ve come to believe that we need to gather considerable forces and a campaign to demand the removal of face masks by ICE, Border Patrol, FBI and police.
It is a practice in conflict with the principles of transparency & accountability that are central to the concept of democracy.

This fall has been an extra slow one for small businesses out here, and the tea house is $3.7k shy of where we need to be to make rent before late fees hit this month.
All this to say, if you have some tea shopping to do or friends to point our way today, we'd sure appreciate it!

it gets memory-holed but they did this to like a dozen georgia polling precincts one year ago today. same in many other states iirc. forced all of them to close temporarily throughout the day
Absolutely. Violent political threats are political violence, both legally & practically. They serve the same purpose and they have similar effects, esp in combination with a political context that has lots of salient violent political acts, which makes the threats feel more credible.
even if it's a hoax, I feel like the mere threat of bombing a polling place is political violence

At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

What’s the cost to not have insurance and put the money in a high yield saving account?
Whelp, it’s official. In 2026 with a marketplace plan, our family of 4 will spend $23,381 for the year on premiums alone. This doesn’t cover the adults’ teeth and eyes. GREAT COUNTRY GREAT SYSTEM!
