This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

My perhaps controversial assessment is that when you share the propaganda of your enemies to call it out or to mock it… you’re still spreading their propaganda and maybe doing exactly what they hope you’ll do.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Here’s the greatest hits of Vercel CEO Guillermo Rauch cozying up with the worst people imaginable and throwing all morality in the trash for the almighty dollar. Have fun on the wrong side of history, @vercel.com - your fascist-loving CEO is why I moved all my sites and services to Render.

“Holy shit, I remember the backlash I got for appearing in Alvin and the Chipmunks! You would’ve thought that I had taken money from a bunch of people responsible for funding Al Qaeda!”
"I don’t understand how being rich can make someone such a whore."
So much of this going around.
People who have secured the bag, with solid reputations in their fields, who you'd expect to know/do better, and yet. Simping for billionaires, or worse.

For those struggling:
- See friends attending protests that have never been in their lives? That’s progress.
- Hear folks asking new questions about what to do next? That’s progress.
Real resistance is built through education and open arms, not purity tests. Welcome them.

The new #pedestrian bridge in Clearwater is so utterly performative and effectively useless. It's basically a half mile from any intersection and connects two business/government plazas across a 6 lane (and expanding...?) #stroad. No one is walking here willingly.

Y'know, if a podcast name is predicated on a release schedule, like (made-up) "Media Tuesdays" ... it really annoys me when they're releasing additional episodes outside of that schedule.
... especially since I follow the podcast in part _because_ of the infrequent, regular, release schedule.
