Every time something like the GOP chat leak occurs I hear smart people arguing that shame could be a useful tactic. But shame only works if the bad actors think their actions are bad. Hypocrisy, shame, these Victorian-ish norms are just that, norms, guardrails, and they don't work against fascism.

Remember when Ronald Reagan fired thousands of air traffic controllers for striking for safer working conditions? Republicans have never been a party that truly helps the American worker. They could care less what this shutdown does to workers. Support a multiple party system but no mean ones!

We can’t pay air traffic controllers during the shutdown, making us less safe, but we can send $40 billion to bail out Argentina.

Make it make sense.

Sanders: Saturday, millions of people are going to come out on a No Kings day. Speaker Johnson said this is a hate America rally because people are coming out expressing their concerns.. It’s not a hate America rally, it's a love America rally.

Hey dude! There’s nothing like a clear cut glass goblet to drink wine from. Tasted so much better than plastic!

Societal, cultural and legal norms have apparently fallen by the wayside.

Therefore my new norm is drinking wine directly from the bag. 🍷📦 #wine #DrinkItStraightFromTheBag #LifeIsRoughEnjoyItWhileYouCan
A bald old man tips his head back to drink red wine (the last dregs of a pleasant Cabernet) straight from the plastic bag normally contained within boxed wine.

My son was 1 when leaders pledged to keep warming below 1.5C.

By his 11th birthday even 2C is dead.

I’m lost for words at the scale of this betrayal.
Government told to prepare for 2C warming by 2050
The Climate Change Committee said the UK should make climate change adaptions beyond the Paris Agreement.

and unleash
them on my skin

Wild combination today:

Bergum's press office calls @ashleyharrell.bsky.social's @sfgate.com story about squatters and illegal BASE jumpers in Yosemite "FALSE" and then Bergum himself says says they're addressing those exact issues with "appropriate law enforcement action." 🤔

AOC: You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to keep people from getting poisoned, from dangerous chemicals 

You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to bring down the cost of housing

If they want to say that that's a Democratic priority, they're right,
