Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

JFC I go watch fun TV for a few hours & come back to learn the Dems have, as is traditional, snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.

How the fuck can we win if we keep just surrendering?

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. ⬇️

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

In Utah, Trump’s Vision for Homelessness Begins to Take Shape

America's science agencies are its economic and intellectual crown jewels--and that is why the second Trump administration is attacking them so much.

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

I'm fairly sure that most supervisors would be happy to spend more time with their mentees. However, the more you climb the proverbial academic ladder, the more people, teaching, and everything else seem to start pulling at you for your time. It's a system problem, not always a supervisor problem.

The Aleutian Island town of Adak went dark on Oct. 3 when the city's main generator suffered what mayor called a "catastrophic failure." A new generator isn't expected to arrive until November.
Adak has gone 2 weeks without power
Residents said food is starting to rot in freezers, and many cannot heat their homes.

Remember when you tried to tell us “the younger generations don’t think that way.” And “the young people will save us.” There are a lot of great, humane, decent, bright young people out there. But there are also a lot of these young people. And they’re not going anywhere.

It’s funny how black people are expected to reach across the aisle to voters like these, while no one ever expects them to reach across the aisle to black people. Amazing who gets to be human, and who doesn’t.
POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

How can we tell what's inside an #exoplanet? @timlichtenberg.bsky.social et al review how a planet's atmosphere interacts with its interior. Atmospheric observations can distinguish between lava worlds, water worlds, temperate surfaces or supercritical interiors. ☄️

I suspect one reason they hide their identities is to conceal past restraining orders and DV arrests.

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

There’s no way around this. They are calling the actual nazis good and the the anti fascists bad. Directly. Explicitly. On camera.
Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

When Republicans lose an election, they never go into "Let's show Democrats we're here to do bipartisanship together" mode. They function like an opposition. And do you know what happens? They win stuff.

I can't imagine being a safe white person in the US right now quietly watching everyone get arrested, abducted, disappeared, and killed.

We should never have to explain what white supremacy is after this moment.
