Until food stamps resume, I'll be donating 25% of all NoFrillDo sales to my local food bank. That's $5 per series 3, $6 per series 1, and $10 per series 2. Go get a dildo and dil-do some good.

🧵 Okay so yesterday's vote has me needing to share something.
I've been tracking these 8 Democratic senators for months, and yesterday's surrender on healthcare wasn't surprising—it was predictable.
Let me show you why:

Now.
Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him
And they should, given this is his fault.
And they should, given this is his fault.
This is a lovely sentiment but Schumer isn't up for re-election until 2028 and he knows this. At which point he will be 77/78. There's no mechanism to recall a sitting senator AFAIK.

Now.
Just called Maria Cantwell's office. They are getting all lot of calls for the removal of Schumer. Call your senators now! They're feeling the heat.

Let’s be clear: Chuck Schumer is the one ending this shutdown, no matter how the votes read.
Chuck Schumer is claiming that he’s voting no, while letting other Senators (Fetterman, Kaine, King, etc) do HIS dirty work.
He must be removed from his leadership & primaried for the sake of this country

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.

True on some level, but misleading. Air traffic controllers are paid (or, right now, not paid) by the FAA, with funding from user fees generated from taxes on airline tickets, jet fuel, etc. – not (at least not mostly?) out of general federal government revenues. usafacts.org/articles/who...

After federal rules nixed their plans to offer food-insecure people a discount, I found three Oregon grocery stores that are using the honor system to help SNAP recipients. My story today: www.oregonlive.com/business/202...
Feds told Oregon grocers they couldn’t offer 10% off to SNAP recipients, so they got creative
The honor system is in place at three Oregon stores, now offering discounts to all who need it.

Like everyone before us, we're using old language to describe new things. 21st century fascism will eventually get a new name to distinguish it from the 20th century version. What we're still calling capitalism is something new as well.
Is this new system we are moving to even Capitalism,
or is just Feudalism with modern technology?
