It’s cruel publicity for racist clicks and a display of power to prospective opponents. Fascists manifesting marketing materials at taxpayer expense.

If only our society took major crimes by rich people as seriously as minor crimes by poor people. Ideally more seriously. But as seriously would be a big improvement.

Trump’s gold bling in the WH reminded me of a clip I posted 5 years ago of Charlie Sheen in the UK telling a story of the time Trump gave him a wedding gift.

This thread is bang on. As fun as movie synths are, functional robots should suit the tasks & results desired, perhaps coordinated through a mesh matrix, rather than clumsy carny automations. Or go with bioengineering instead of Tomy / RadioShack ‘bots.
The insistence on making these robots bipedal is probably the most obvious giveaway that it's all a big carny gimmick

I feel like every alien invasion film, esp. stuff like Invasion of the Body Snatchers, has been a primer & metaphor for vigilance against fascism from within, defending freedom from oppression. Veterans must set the tone of this moment.
“Our oaths did not expire simply because we took off the uniform.”
Former Navy pilot Ken Harbaugh shares a powerful Veterans Day message about service, sacrifice, and what real patriotism means — inspired by Marine Master Sgt. Mike “Top” Washington.

A Different Kind of Patriotism
Today, more than ever, America needs its veterans to remember that their oaths to the Constitution do not expire.

Last night, the Senate advanced a measure to end the government shutdown, which at 41 days today is the longest in U.S.

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

He called it. Snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. So deeply disappointing. Corporate sponsored Senate lifers have got to go.

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."
The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.
And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

It really does seem like there's a decent chance that these senators screwed us because they don't want their personal Thanksgiving plans to be disrupted.
Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

An agreement to agree to do a later vote is NOT an enforceable contract so what in the actual hell are Americans getting out of this deal??

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.
The American people need more from their leaders.

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people.
Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.
