#pluribus spoilers/theorizing but keeping it as vague as possible

As soon as they “repeated it back” to her, my first thought was…she froze her eggs years ago.

What I’m feeling as a (still) registered Democratic voter is that we should burn everything down and salt the ashes (with votes)

It was harder getting endorsements for Zohran Mamdani from Democrats than them caving to Republicans to mutually strip us of healthcare

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Trump is 30 points underwater. Dems swept the special elections. People know the GOP is responsible for the shutdown. So the Dem Senators pulled out their big guns... and shot themselves in the foot.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

Called mine (Shaheen & Hassan). Call yours!

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

Hey, @worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.social. I relistened to Twelve Brooks, as you recommended.

Let me just say in advance of the next episode - how fucking dare you. I don't know what you are daring to do, but how fucking dare you.

Amazon announcing a book sale on Independent Bookstore Day is deeeeeeply evil. Find and support your local indie tomorrow! www.indiebound.org/independent-...

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless

I’m seeing a lot of posts about how certain immigrants sent to El Salvador are not actually criminals and this is true but I would also like to remind you that people with criminal records shouldn’t be subjected to this, either.

A friend of Neri Alvarado, the young Venezuelan man with an autism awareness tattoo sent to El Salvador, shared this video from members of the swim club where he worked with neurodiverse children.

More about Neri from @isabelaalhadeff.bsky.social and I here: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

“Look I hated the bill but the most important thing in the world to me was that it passed even though I didn’t vote for it because the potential authorities granted under a shutdown are …” is a really bad bumper sticker!

It’s why people fucking hate Democrats!

Unspeakably disappointed in my entire congressional delegation tonight. God forbid any of you use your power to do anything except preserve your power.
