I’m so angry. I will be angry about this for YEARS.
Every month when I pay my insane ACA premium for my shitty insurance that I may end up having to abandon altogether, I will remember how Senate Dems sold all of us down the fucking river FOR NOTHING.

this piece seems to be making a few people mad. Here's the deal: I will concede that Superman is "not an immigrant" if they'll agree that the more precise term is "illegal alien."
Conservatives Are Freaking Out About the New, “Woke” Superman. He’s Something Else Entirely.
Yes, the latest blockbuster makes Clark Kent an immigrant—but that’s not the twist.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS…
This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they?
ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants.
How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

Strom Thurmond filibustered against civil rights for 24 hours and 18 minutes in 1957, pig that he was.
78 years later, here comes Cory Booker.
May the old records and the old guard get the message: we’re done fucking around with your erasure and your nostalgia for horror. Enough.

I'm not even sure if it's conscious on their part - I think mainly they're just looting - but a major unifying theme of the sweeping Republican changes right now is to wipe away anything gentle or connective or invigorating in American life. To make us shabbier, meaner, less curious people.
This, by the by, is an effing disaster if it holds up. The number of public libraries that will go under if IMLS is shuttered is mind-boggling. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

What I took away from the NYT Schumer interview more than anything is the sense of a weak, scattered, unfocused man who can’t make a clear statement without rambling fussy preambles. Nothing sinister, just profoundly not a man for this time.

"Democrats need to pick their battles."
Fine. Pick your battles. Pick literally any battle. Here's a suggestion: all of you, every one of you holding elected office, try saying in public every day: "Elon Musk wants to destroy Social Security." Try that for a week, see what happens.
