The sheer, fracking, nerve of sending this out after Sunday's vote.

No, the @democraticparty.bsky.social gets nothing from us until they address the mess they've made.
Screencap of email. From: "Ken Martin (via Democrats.org)" <feedback@e.democrats.org> Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2025 15:39:18 +0000 For seven weeks, we have stood firm and spoken with one voice: we must save health care for millions of Americans. Donald Trump has made it impossible for families to make ends meet, forcing them to choose between putting food on the table or paying their medical bills. The last thing Americans can afford is their health insurance premiums doubling overnight. Let me be crystal clear: Donald Trump and the Republican Party that orchestrated this betrayal of the American people are responsible for the men, women, and children who will suffer because they cannot get the health care they need to survive. These are the same people who rushed to vote for tax breaks for billionaires. It is clear whose side they are on. As this vote moves to the House, I stand with Democratic leadership as they refuse to rubber stamp the full-scale Republican assault on Americans’ health care and I am proud of the majority of Senate Democrats who opposed this vote. The voters will never forget the day Trump turned his back on them so he could focus on building his gilded ballroom. Thank you, Ken Ken Martin Chair Democratic National Committee

A collection of headlines this morning (OK, around noon PST). #SchumerAlwaysChickensOut #SchumerMustGo #SchumerResign Not to happy with #HakeemJeffries right now, either.

(For ref., I check Google News in a private tab not signed in so it's not learning from my clicks. I hope.)
Headlines from Google News: 1) The Hill, 18 hours ago, "Jeffries opposes Senate moves to end shutdown," 2) The Atlantic, 15 hours ago, "Senate Democrats Just Made a Huge Mistake," 3) The Hill, 6 hours ago, "Democratic lawmaker: Schumer 'should be replaced'," 4) The Bulwark, 5 hours ago, "Dems Reward the Hostage-Taker," 5) Politico, 4 hours ago, "'Schumer is no longer effective': Dems outraged over shutdown deal," 6) The New Republic, 3 hours ago, "Democrat Who Caved on Shutdown Says Chuck Schumer Knew All Along," 7) Politico, 2 hours ago, "Jeffries Backs Schumer amid fierce Democratic backlash to shutdown deal," 8) The Wall Street Journal, 2 hours ago, "Democrats Fume Over Deal to End Government Shutdown," 9) Axios, 1 hour ago, "Jeffries is standing behind Schumer despite Democrats' shutdown fury," 10) The Hill, 44 minutes ago, "Jeffries defends Schumer after shutdown deal: 'Waged a valiant fight'" (any typos are mine, left out the bylines for space but will provide if asked)

It's been pretty clear for years that they only care about children until they take their first breath. From (if I'm reading it right) 2013:
2-panel cartoon. On the left, a pregnant woman with three people saying "We'll do whatever we can to protect your life." On the right the same woman holding the baby, with the same three people yelling "Now you're on your own!", "Get a job, moocher!, "I hope your tramp Mom doesn't want food stamps to feed you!", and "Or medical insurance!"

This, right here. If anyone still has any doubts, this is Trump saying straight out what he wants to do and why.

Preaching to the choir, I know. The people who most need to see this either won't, or won't believe it. :-(
Screencap reading: Speaking at a White House breakfast with Senate Republicans Wednesday, Trump warned that, unless the GOP acts now, Democrats will themselves end the filibuster to pack the Supreme Court and recognize D.C. and Puerto Rico as states. "They're going to pick up electoral votes, it's going to be a very, very bad situation," Trump said. "Now, if we do what I'm saying, they'll most likely never attain power, because we will have passed every single thing that you can imagine." The word "warned" in the first paragraph links to BlueSky post https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3m4v67o5wbu2x.

Now there's something you don't see often: A politician asking you to NOT send money! The subject line is "You can stop donating now. Thank you."

OK, he does ask that you donate to other candidates, but still.

#Yeson50 #GavinNewsom #FreeAndFairElections
Screenshot of an email from Gavin Newsom: (bold) Thank you. (end bold) You may have noticed over the last few weeks, the pace of our fundraising emails and texts has slowed considerably when compared to the start of our campaign. There's a reason for that. (bold) We have hit our budget goals and raised what we need in order to pass Proposition 50. You can stop donating. (end bold) 1.2 million donations, $38 million raised in online small-dollar donations in just 10 weeks. Thank you. It's unbelievable. Now it's about executing the plan. If we can do that, we're going to win. From here on out, if you see us in your inbox it's because we have an important update to share about the Election Rigging Response Act, or because someone else desperately needs our help elsewhere. And I will be asking for you to help others - states like Indiana, North Carolina, South Carolina and more are all trying to stop Republican mid-decade redistricting efforts. More on that soon. (There's enough of the next line to show that this isn't the entire email.)

Just noticed a heat advisory for this week.

It's the LAST WEEK OF OCTOBER.

I'm old enough to remember when we were well into jacket weather by late Oct., which was disappointing when you had to wear a coat over your costume to trick-or-treat.

I find the second suggested search to be darkly amusing. Even Google gets it.

It's also a little unnerving that apparently there are a lot of people looking to *buy* ICE uniforms. The fact that it's October doesn't make me feel much better.

#ICE #blackshirts #cosplaytriots
Screenshot of suggested Google search terms after typing "ice uniforms" with the second suggestion (after just "ice uniforms") being "ice uniforms hugo boss." Other suggestions follow "ice uniforms" with "for sale," "green," "amazon," "bills," "color," "costume," "patch," and "badge."

1am: Huston, we have a problem.
5am: OK, looks like we've got a handle on it.
9am: . . . or, maybe not.

Could this scream "propaganda" any louder? It looks like parody. #ProjectFirewall #NoKings #NationOfImmigrants
Post from the U.S. Dept. of Labor, reposted by the U.S. Dept. of Education, of a poster that reads "Restoring the American Dream! Through Project Firewall" with an overly-stereotypical white family (dad, mom, son, daughter) in 1950s clothing. The post reads "RESTORE THE AMERICAN DREAM! We're continuing our work on Project Firewall--and restoring pathways to the American Dream by ensuring American Jobs go to American Workers (flag emoji)"

Text, with highlights noted: <bold>Judge recuses himself from overseeing legal challenge to Trump’s Portland National Guard deployment</bold> * District Court judge Michael H. Simon, an appointee of President Barack Obama, recused himself from hearing Oregon’s lawsuit to stop the Trump administration’s deployment of the National Guard to Portland. * Simon’s recusal comes at the request of DOJ, who noted that Simon is [begin highlight]married to Rep. Suzanne Bonamici (D-Ore.), who has publicly opposed Trump’s deployment of the National Guard.[end highlight] Bonamici's statements, DOJ argued, "can be expected to cause reasonable members of the public to question Judge Simon’s impartiality." * Oregon and the city of Portland sued Trump on Sunday to stop his order sending federal troops into the city, calling the move “patently unlawful” and a violation of the U.S. Constitution. In court filings, top Oregon law enforcement officials said the deployment was unwarranted and could undermine public safety by provoking larger protests. * [begin highlight]Calls for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from cases involving the events of January 6, 2021, because his wife helped plan the day’s protests, have been ignored.[end highlight]

"Legal" is meaningless until and unless someone makes consequences stick.

They probably also complain about this, or completely miss his point. www.cbr.com/captain-amer... (2 of 2)
Captain America speaking to Peter Parker: Doesn't matter what the press says. Doesn't matter what the politicians or the mobs say. Doesn't matter if the whole country decides that something wrong is something right. This nation was founded on one principle above all else: the requirement that we stand up for what we believe, no matter the odds or the consequences. When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world — "No, you move."

Five seats in Texas? We’ll take five in California. Trump drew first blood — now blue states must step up. It’s time to punch the bully back. This November, voters will decide to redraw our maps now to stop Trump’s election rigging.

Vote Yes on Prop 50 on November 4th.

Red states gerrymander. Blue states want fair maps. When democracy’s on the line, we’ll fight for it. Newsom & CA Dems are calling a special election to defend fair elections, counter Trump’s election rigging, and for the use of nonpartisan nationwide redistricting commissions. 1/2

I was having trouble visualizing the over-96K acre #GiffordFire so I did this. These maps are at the same scale. 😥😢

I'll take the #bagpipes Every Single Time.

I made this one a while ago. It seems relevant again. Still?

It shouldn't be the first form of protest, but when the people in power refuse to listen, well, as JFK said, "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."
Historical image of the Boston Tea Party, which Wikipedia describes as "an American political and mercantile protest on December 16, 1773, by the Sons of Liberty in Boston in colonial Massachusetts. ... In response [to the Tea Act of May 10, 1773], the Sons of Liberty, some disguised as Native Americans, destroyed a shipment of tea sent by the East India Company." Text over the image is: "Property damage is not a valid form of protest." ...said no member of the Sons of Liberty.
