Amy, queer cis Jew, she/her. Kidlit, reality TV, lady superheroes, lit theory, collage. All the #BlackWidow feelings. Watched 1400+ Law & Order episodes in a year. I'm sorry for who I am during Big Brother season. Asthma, TMJ, and #ActuallyOCD. So tired.
The person whose apartment is right opposite my building's recycling room has a Ring doorbell, and for someone who watches the Big Brother live feeds, I was probably disproportionately horrified.

I like how we've all decided Schumer (a) has terrible values keeping him from doing what's right or (b) lacks influence and/or didn't think it was worth wielding it on this issue
Do you want to be removed from leadership for being an immoral person or a shitty leader? These are your only choices.

“If Schumer really wanted to use his considerable influence and leverage to stop this, he could have done that,” a senior Democratic Senate aide tells Zeteo. “He didn’t.”
Furious Liberals Call for Schumer to Step Aside, Senate Dems Mostly Quiet
After their shutdown surrender, liberal lawmakers are begging their base to unite behind them anyway – as Trumpland celebrates that their opposition is a bunch of 'p*ssies.'

There is no excuse for Finkelstein doing this. Nothing defensible. And even if you completely separated everything he said from what Owen’s did, he still relied on conspiracy theories and negative stereotypes about Jews. In 2025, we don’t need any of this to talk about Israel.
Norman Finkelstein, the fuck is wrong with you?
This is the second time he's gone on Candace Owens' show, and look how she frames the interview in her tweet.

Saw people claiming AIPAC for the senators caving and it’s weird I didn’t know AIPAC stood for Airline Interests Private flights And Cowards.
But no it’s not antisemitism.

Does AIPAC influence peddle on issues related to the state of Israel?
Yes, that is its stated purpose.
Does AIPAC secretly run Congress and bear responsibility for votes on other issues?
Nope, and if that's your argument you better flesh it out and back it up

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":
".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great."

Look everything is still a mess which makes this not a very big accomplishment at all but I have condensed like five boxes to three and emptied a full bag and I have a lot of labeled plastic folders and I am choosing to appreciate that.

Lander, Mamdani, and AOC are the future of the NY Democratic party, and I know that's a high bar, but ffs, our senators can't even manage Hochul levels.
Fight don’t fold.

The absolute best-case scenario right now is that the Dems are talked off the ledge of caving and Schumer still came out more strongly against Mamdani than against sacrificing our healthcare.

just to clarify (and kevin knows this so don’t @ him) call no matter who your senators are. the caucus will pay attention to backlash
Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.
If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.
