I have thoughts, and they aren’t going to fit neatly into Bluesky posts. Briefly:
1. The deal sucks.
2. Probably not as much as you think it does.
3. It’s good to be mad.
4. FFS, be madder at the GOP.
5. Strategy is hard.
5b. Timing matters.
6. The fight isn’t over.
7. Go pet a cat. (Or a dog.)

Yesterday we premiered A RIPPLE IN ANN ARBOR, a 50-minute documentary about Ann Arbor's DNA Dragnet of the 90s, when hundreds of Black Men were profiled and accused of serial rape. It's now available to stream online at aadl.org/arippleinann... . Read on for thanks and acknowledgements!

Yes. How do Dem electeds not understand this dynamic? After all these years?
At some point we have to let pain hurt Trump instead of helping him. Every time we let pain help him, he’ll do more and bigger next time.
Each acquiescence means the next one will be *more* painful.

Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.
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.

Americans can’t afford this deal.
Democrats can fight AND win — just like we did in our budget battle in Michigan.
A promise isn’t a deal. Don’t settle.

I did the same. Do it. Now.
Called Slotkin and Peters to demand they not cave.
Call (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you to their offices.

Wild guess here: the jabronis running DHS may have been hit by an enormous instance of wire fraud that everyone is embarrassed to admit
The WSJ on how unbelievably stupid Noem and Lewandowski are.

Just left a message with Schumer's office.
Looking forward to our current NY Senators getting primaried by people who aren't too tired to fight and aren't delusional about who their constituents are.

Just called @peters.senate.gov and @slotkin.senate.gov to demand they hold the line, protect health care access for Michiganders and don’t get hoodwinked by the abortion ban and other trash republicans are trying to sneak in.

This was helpful. Yay for me that my flight back home in a couple of weeks is to a #Delta hub (chance shutdown will still be going on week of #Thanksgiving = high), then I am staying put until shutdown over
Grateful for this Delta flight attendant for providing some clarity on the upcoming changes to flights during the holidays.

A lot has been said about how Fox News melted so many boomer brains, but not as much about the insidious way the NYT is corroding the minds of our progressive elders. How their beloved paper of record is poisoning them against their anti-genocide children, making them doubt their trans grandkids.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Have you heard of “The Populist Playbook?”
A few years ago, I posted what I still consider one of my most important messages.
It was about “The Populist Playbook” that I’ve watched play out often over my 33+ years of city planning.
Since then, it’s only gotten worse.
Do the steps sound familiar?
