Pacific NW via every continental US time zone. Working Families Party stan. Women's soccer, genre and queer romance, cephalopods, trains! Forever a librarian in my heart.

Solidarity.
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

I honestly feel like Orlando has to be the favorite to win the NWSL championship now.

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

I’m just saying that there are a lot of non-violent and non-felony ways to make people so miserable that they will beg for it to stop
We gave them the victories they’ve been asking for and they turned around and gave up as soon as it was convenient. The carrot days of the Democratic base are over. Time for the stick. They’re not afraid enough of us. We can fix that (with votes).

Every Democrat who voted for this— Senate now, and House soon enough— should be expelled from the Democratic caucus. There is literally no benefit to keeping them in. Strip them of their committee assignments. Punish them.
In a normal democracy, a total collapse of party leadership would result in an no-confidence vote and immediate snap elections to find leaders who can lead

If you’ve made your Senate calls, time to start calling Dem Congressional representatives (both D.C. & local numbers) and telling them not to accept anything the Senate sends down that doesn’t include ACA subsidies.

Personal stories help. Tell them how much caving will cost YOUR family.

Caving now means they literally did it for nothing and caused harm to people for nothing. Just absolute failure on every level.

I'm the spouse of an air traffic controller and I could not be more livid at the news that Dems might cave. I called and left voicemails for my Dem senators. If my family can hold the fucking line, so can they.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

This is a Frankenstein story, but the villainous scientist is conservatives
Adriana’s body was kept alive for months.

Chance had to try and grow inside someone who couldn’t eat, couldn’t regulate hormones, couldn’t move or breathe on her own.

The family was never asked if they wanted this, the hospital & state FORCED it.
