Absolutely. Grind it to a halt.
Murphy: "We need to act like a real opposition party in the middle of a constitutional and democracy crisis. That means we should not be moving forward nominees or legislation in the Senate. Ds should not be giving votes to nominee or legislation in the Senate until Rs get serious about this crisis"

Seattle peeps. Heads up:

ICE is currently on 3rd and University going through restaurants.

If you have folks you know who could potentially face deportation, let them know.

When a single billionaire can accumulate more money in 10 seconds than their employees make in one year, while workers struggle to meet the basic cost of rent and medicine, then yes, every billionaire really is a policy failure.

One reason the "do diets work?" debate interests me is because so many things that are terrible for fat people (and others) rests on that foundational belief that fat people could stop being fat if they wanted to.

My father would womanize, he would start land wars with Denmark. He would make outrageous claims like claiming ownership of Greenland. Sometimes he would refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America.

Jesus Christ, people are stupid.
Thinking about those parents whose kid almost died of tetanus, and after receiving nearly a million dollars in care which included the tetanus vaccine, they declined to give him a preventative tetanus vaccine (or any other ones) post treatment. Kid was on a ventilator for 44 days
Unvaccinated boy nearly died from tetanus. The cost of his care was almost $1 million.
6-year-old was infected in 2017 while playing on the family's farm, the first case of tetanus in Oregon in 30 years, according to a CDC report.

Look bringing back polio sounds bad. But it’s a small price to pay to get rid of pronouns in email signatures and black women in star wars.

wrote about this doc in the newsletter, but just want to reiterate how wild this shit is. basically, morticians started bribing ambulances to refer their services to families if they encountered a death. so then the first responders started killing people to get more money

My biggest complaint about Blue Sky so far is that so many post like everyone already knows what they’re talking about. Maybe just a vestige of a previously smaller community, but completely opaque to me.

We know this because we lived this with Trump for the last eight years. Keeping focus is difficult. We're going to need to get better at this.

One of the most difficult reckonings of this election is that the incentives we thought inspired voting choices - a better life for your family etc - may not be as decisive as the desire to inflict cruelty on outgroups. Explanations that don't grapple w/this point read to me like liberal wishcasting
