This is so disappointing. Virginians sent their representatives a message on election day this year that we wanted Democrats to fight for us against this authoritarian administration. We wanted you to protect our healthcare, not cave on the shutdown for the fake promise of a future vote.

They’ve chosen to fold in the immediate aftermath of election results that gave them a clear mandate to fight.
Think about that.
They’ve arranged their votes to enable them fold while also appearing to oppose—and they will fundraise off the appearance.
Think about that.
They think we’re stupid.

If you’re trying to catch up on what went down with #SNAP late last night at #SCOTUS, here’s my attempt to read the breadcrumbs on the “administrative stay” issued by Justice Jackson—and why a justice so critical of the Court’s grants of emergency relief to Trump still granted temporary relief here:
190. SNAP WTF?
A very quick explainer on why Justice Jackson issued an "administrative stay" in the SNAP case late on Friday night, and on what's likely to happen next

This leads to what I mean by antifascist economics. It doesn’t target one party; it tackles the material conditions that make fascism appealing: insecurity, despair, unmet basic needs. Policies that make life affordable are not just social policy, they are democracy insurance.

UVA gave the all clear a while ago, and thankfully it sounds like no one was hurt. We are home and safe.

Thanks. Things are stable here, but we are still waiting for the all clear. Unfortunately, this is what life is like in this country. It’s a tragedy that we live like this.

The entire purpose of the conservative movement has been tearing down public goods and any policies that limit or hinder in any way corporate profiteering and wealth accumulation by the powerful elite.
It abhors the social contract.
Destruction of modern society is the goal.
