It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.

If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

Whatever happens after this, y’all, we must all agree to do whatever non-felony things we can to make Schumer miserable until he resigns.

I’m not proud of this in any way but I had no idea about the boarding school atrocities until the Deer Lady origin episode of Reservation Dogs. No bullshit I couldn’t stop crying for 15 minutes after the episode finished.

Vance speaking about “widespread child sacrifice” in the Americas when colonizers arrived - while graveyards FULL of Native children at church boarding schools are still being found - is the epitome of hypocrisy.

Remember.

They’re shutting down the government and holding hungry people hostage, because they want to make more money off of sick and dying people.

And they call US “terrorists” for protesting against that.

Remember that. Remember all of this.

We will work on it, and get it posted ASAP. Thank you for asking. 🙏🏾
Is there a way to contribute?

Our staff has committed $23K of our campus emergency funds towards building meal kits, toiletry/household supplies, grocery gift cards, and a food drive to support our student population who are struggling with food insecurity with SNAP benefits lapsing Nov. 1st.

I am so proud of our crew.

Completely unrelated.

I need directions to the Bern Historical Museum in Switzerland. Additionally I need a group of people interested in creating a flash mob inside the Bern.

I just want to check out Mato-Tope's exploit robe and do not want to be DISTRACTED while I do it

I am taking on consulting work rn and have two projects in the works. Honest to Creator they couldn’t have come at a better time. I am thankful for people who trust me enough to reach out and request collaboration. 🫶🏾 Means a lot to a single working mama.
