The idea of framing this vainglorious billionaire lot as modern day versions of the gritty, hard-bitten, working class, manual laborers who, for a pittance of wages, risked their lives and used their hands to make real the skyscraper dreams of the wealthy and middle classes is….lunacy.
I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

Countries that have abortion access, DEI policies or protection for LGBTQ+ people will be considered “human rights violators“ by the Trump regime

The important thing to bear in mind as Trump's popularity begins to wobble is that the disastrous economic consequences of the things he's done in the first 10 months of this term have not even *begun* to hit. We've been coasting on the fumes of the economy he inherited and soon they'll be gone.
my wife and her entire team were fired over Zoom from their program manager jobs at a local nonprofit Seattle hospital this Spring because Trump just stopped paying Medicaid reimbursements. and this is a relatively affluent urban center

we're really not prepared for what's coming
As a direct result of President Trump's Big Ugly Bill, almost 300 jobs will be cut from Providence Swedish's First Hill, Cherry Hill, Ballard, and Issaquah hospitals and clinics. These are not the only layoffs we've seen in our health care system in Washington state in recent months.

The Senate has ended business for the night, so even though they agreed to fast-track the bill requiring the release of the Epstein files, it won’t be sent to the Trump until they’re back in session which won’t be until at least next Wednesday.

Today, the BBC bent the knee.

Yesterday, it came out that a NYT reporter had with emails from Jeffrey Epstein in 2015 that were highly damaging to Trump and were never disclosed to the public.

This is on top of WaPo, ABC, CBS all capitulating.

What the hell are TOUGHER abortion restrictions? Women are already dying on parking lots!?!???
UPDATE: Now that 8 Senate Dems folded to Trump—Republicans demand tougher abortion restrictions to extend Obamacare funds.

What? Moving goal posts? Lucy and the football? Who Could Have Seen This Coming??

This is why you don't back down from a bully! My God! My kingdom for a spine for Democrats.

The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)

They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.

The Senate Democrats!

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.
