Now would be a great time to create a new party/ies. Get big money from politics, starting with Citizens United. It feels enormous, what we have to undo.

Aw man. I saw Todd live for the first time at the Barrymore in Madison. My first post-covid concert, and again in '23(?) RIP, you Alright Guy.

Taking away has always been their plan. Healthy, educated people are antithetical to a corrupt system.

They're consistent, if absolutely nothing else.

"So we're going to keep reaching out to Rs, giving them whatever they want, with the hope that for once - despite their miserable history - just once they might work with us."

Shaheen (after just falling off the turnip truck) on bending at the knee: "Hopefully our Republican colleagues will vote with us [on a healthcare bill entirely written by Dems]."

I can't even with this anymore.

It's well past time we abandon big box retailers - including Amazon-and only support small businesses. At least you'll know we aren't capitulating with fascists.

This is humiliating for every person who showed up for NO KINGS, everyone who voted last Tuesday, everyone who stands up to ICE, every judge who has held the legal line, every small town person who stands up week after week in their red rural area with their signs saying “Vote Blue”. YOU LET US DOWN

Though Republicans lie whenever they open their mouths, Im choosing to believe they'll really work with us this time, and... well... just shame on them if they're lying.

But the Republicans promised to work with us, and we know history has certainly shown them to be trustworthy on such agreements. It's the same thing my cat said to the mouse before beheading it.

Chicago is terrorized by ICE and Durbin caves to the fascists. The disgust is incalculable.

How could they not meet this critical moment? What is there left? We have nothing, now.
November 10, 2025 at 3:55 AM
Has King NOT LEARNED A THING about Republicans these past 15 years? Fool me once, shame on them. But fool me a thousand times?? Just roll over and beg at trump's swollen canckles.
November 10, 2025 at 3:45 AM
With ICE terrorizing Chicago, Durbin's vote is deeply disturbing. Why isnt he meeting this critical moment?
November 10, 2025 at 3:23 AM
What was any of this for?! What have they to show for any of this?!? Infuriating!! Congratulations for capitulating to a dictator. They've just made it worse for everyone. What on earth are they doing, my god.

Donald Trump is holding hungry Americans hostage. Do not pay his ransom! Dems who vote with Rs are shameless. What have they to show for this???

I'm unabashedly back in love with Little House on the Prairie. Imagine my delight when I found the movie pilot on DVD at the thrift store

I'll never go to Target again, but picturing 10+ smiling Target employees waving at me and asking how my day is going is giving serious Stepford Wives energy.
