Gen X, alternating between throwing my hands up and screaming into the void about the current regime. Gratefully living in the country of Massachusetts.

Burn in hell James Watson, you racist plagiarist. Rosalind Franklin deserved credit.
I love this website, where “this person died” is swiftly followed up by “shame he was a racist motherfucker”

Tuesday’s elections were NOT about the Democratic Party.

They were about candidates focusing on the wants and needs of their constituents; about new leaders prepared to fight; about representation in every sense of the word.

Party leaders haven’t absorbed this yet.

Let everybody else be clear: you are preventing any chance of that happening.
Shaheen: So let me be clear. No one in the senate chamber wants to extend the ACA tax credits more than I do.

All of this
Sanders: That is a totally meaningless gesture. You can get 100 votes here and it won't mean anything because the House is not going to take it up.

This is why I burst into tears when I bound out my unborn child would be a girl.
We are not believed in any arena if our life and it makes life so incredibly hard
And I'll say it again:

‪If we had believed children and women, none of this would be happening.

He'd be in jail, and she'd be President.

Follow the money.
The crumbling "dem" senators have received money.

Spineless Dems.
It’s striking and inexplicable that Senate Dems crumbled following decisive signals from the American electorate that Trump’s policies are deeply unpopular and Americans expect the Democrats to fight Trump and Republicans over healthcare, affordability, & be a check on his chaos.

The reason people think the Democratic Party doesn't actually stand for anything is because it doesn't.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

I'm so angry right now I can't see straight
Never forget who sold us out:

Hassan
King
Cortez-Masto
Shaheen
Kaine
Fetterman
Durbin
Rosen

Do. Not. Give. Up.

I am begging the Dems to grow a backbone
Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Mamdani is going to implement Shakira law. Hips will no longer be able to lie.
Mamdani is going to implement Shania law. That don't impress me much.

I’m just saying, but if I had just gotten completely shellacked on Tuesday, I wouldn’t be asking SCOTUS to let me starve millions of people 3 days later.

I didn't expect to be surrounded by them, though. There are so many.
And they are coming for my loved ones.
One of the few positive aspects of this era in American history is that it's super-easy to identify the villains.

Shameful acquiescence to blatant racism.
Two panels commemorating the contribution of Black American soldiers towards the liberation of the Netherlands in World War Two have been quietly removed from a cemetery in Limburg. It follows a complaint by right-wing think tank The Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission.

Piss poor article @huffpost.com

Let me help you out: Michael decided to not be a father while he pursued what he wanted to do, and wanted sympathy for it for how hard it was on him. Wanda stepped up and she, and her dreams, were never mentioned again.
