I'm thinking we should start having die ins on the steps of congress. When their policies are going to kill us we should just start letting our poor, elderly & disabled bodies pile up like cord wood on the steps.
Of course, people receiving chemo, dialysis, need life saving surgery, etc, just cancel your insurance but be sure you have a burial or cremation plan.

They know the AI bubble is about to pop, they are counting on the population being so desperate that we will stop fighting the billionaires if only they will allow us to eat.

People need to realize the sad truth about Schumer et al. Similar to the Usha Vance narrative, you gotta stop pretending they’re unfortunate victims of the circumstance… they’re actually into it.

Hmmm.........so, you mean we can't vote our way out of this?

The centrists in the Senate Democratic caucus saw that the country was rallying to the party in the 2025 elections and resolved that they would do anything they could to kill that momentum.

Dem leaders *could* have spent the past half decade going in front of cameras saying "trans rights are human rights, disabled people are worth keeping alive, genocide is a crime," etc.
Even without a majority. No magic wand needed, just a camera.
They didn't. They did the opposite.

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.

It's wild to me that so very little conversation has ever been honestly had about how the "affordable care act" was basically written by the Heritage Foundation.
The tweeks the Obama admin tried to make were either never implemented or have been un-done. And ppl wonder why we are in this mess.

Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.

hey guess what
you can criticize a person's behavior without using slurs or being racist about it
even an entire organization, or a government, without using slurs, or being racist about it
a system is a system and a demographic group are people
this seems hard for some people to understand

Why the fuck is everyone saying "food stamps" instead of "nutrition aid"???
They haven't been called food stamps since the 1980's. It's the rhetoric the right uses to demonize poor ppl.

Granted, Trump's hostility to the postwar global order means he may consider ludicrous actions that most other presidents wouldn't.
But more generally, it's always a mistake to seek monocausal explanations for complex political, economic and geopolitical dynamics.
