Every Democratic senator who does not call for an immediate change in leadership needs to be primaried.

Unless Democratic Senators who voted no on the #Schumersurrender today explicitly call for Schumer to resign or step aside - they all own this cave. Just pushing out performative posts and press releases don’t count for much anymore. Enough.
Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week
Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

Gentlemen: thank you for your service.
I support everyone giving vast sums of money to Andrew Cuomo. It’s the “lighting a million quid on fire” art piece but this time performed by the worst people in the world.

26 billionaires spent over $22 million to beat Zohran Mamdani.
Why? Because regular people came together around an agenda that prioritized making life easier for more people. It beat big money.
That is how we win.

That was one of the best speeches I have ever heard. The depth of reference. The undertoned shade. The in-your-face challenges. From walk out music to quotes - everything was intentional.

Yes! Eliminate stigma, provide the basics for everyone. The more I see how policy works, the less sense means testing makes. Universal services are the way
Anyway, SNAP should be universal. Just like school lunches in NYC. Not everyone needs it to survive but everybody gets it, no means testing.
There should also be a lot fewer regulations on what you can buy with SNAP and discounts, not bans, on hot prepared foods.

Weiser appears to be the only prominent Colorado Democrat who has used any medium to encourage people to attend today's massive anti-Trump rallies. I can't find any communication from any of the state's six congressional Dems to the same effect.
Colorado AG Phil Weiser (D) is calling on Coloradans to turn out en masse for Oct 18 demonstrations against President Trump’s use of the military in American cities. “Don’t be afraid,” Weiser said. “Don’t be afraid to show up.” #copolitics

THREAD. Did you know that at about 1/3 of all stranger homicides in the U.S. are perpetrated by police? But there's something hidden here that is important to understand in this authoritarian moment.

A life update: this wound up paying off. I'm still applying to several jobs that are hopefully careers, but I've got my survival needs covered by a job at the airport that I'm apparently pretty good at.
And instead of being in an office alone, which was driving me mad, I see 20k people a day.

There is a line around this building to get to the line entrance to wait to get into this job fair.
At the airport. For airport jobs.

I don't know what I was expecting when I put on this audiobook. Maybe a standard bro-science success story? Maybe a fun story about "getting in shape"? This book is more. Maybe I just stumbled onto it at the right time for me, but I can't say enough about how impressed I am with this book. Read it!
Today is the day! My book is out in the world. It’s not a friendly world for writing about science or women or especially women’s bodies right now. But I’m so proud to be telling a story that makes a certain type of person very, very angry. www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/casey...

This is my favorite story of the day, and I read about the "sapphire coated jolly rancher" rabies vaccine earlier.
I once spoke to a guy who worked at the national grid who told me they could track whenever Tendulkar got out because so many ppl switched off theirTV at the same time it showed up in national power consumption data

Having a "the good ol' days" old man moment over here.
It was a world where free and open blogs linked to news articles from sites that would let you read five a month for free, and people posted on social sites that were open and didn't algorithmically downrate your post for linking to something.
