Progressive groups are calling for Chuck Schumer's ouster after centrist Dems' shutdown cave. Dem senators' phone lines are "exploding" with the same demands. So far, Senate Dems don't have a ton to say.

Furious Liberals Call for Schumer to Step Aside, Senate Dems Mostly Quiet
After their shutdown surrender, liberal lawmakers are begging their base to unite behind them anyway – as Trumpland celebrates that their opposition is a bunch of 'p*ssies.'

Not wearing a mask at protests is, in my opinion, the protest equivalent of a non-disabled person parking in a disabled parking spot. You’re being present there in a way that makes it so that a disabled person can’t be.
Disabled folks feeling guilty for not protesting today: *it is not your fault* that organizers don’t make an effort to make protests accessible and don’t encourage masking
And despite what folks on Bluesky would have you believe, there are MANY ways to resist and protests don’t have to be your way

It’s still not too late to start wearing a mask again.
The political climate is making it increasingly hard to survive as a disabled person.
A well fitted mask like an N95 can help keep you and your community healthy.
It’s also a great way to show solidarity with vulnerable people.

Wearing masks is a vital part of community care.
Without masks, you are not caring about your community.
Without masks, community suffers & many are actively excluded.
What kind of community are you building if you make it inaccessible to 1/4-1/2 of the people around you?

We really need to stop focusing on what is "fair" and start focusing on what is just.
"Fair" is "I suffered, so you have to do the same." An obsession with "fairness" leads to white supremacy and transphobia. Fairness is carceral. Justice is not.
