States should still heed this as a sobering wake up call and move to undo same-sex marriage bans in their constitutions and/or formally legalize it by their legislatures. We were lucky this time, but nobody knows what the future might bring.

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"

China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

I don't want a system of human economic organization where most of us are fucked and a few of us are not fucked.

Today's Democrats have a religious commitment to this system and they're willing to sacrifice human rights, throw elections, and concede to the GOP just to defend it.

Seen the emboldened posts by Trump today?
Did those Senators fail to understand what they were unleashing?

Momentum is a real thing.

Democrats finally had some, after massive turnouts for #NoKings and resounding wins in both red and blue states last week.

The majority of the country, rightfully so, held Trump and the GOP accountable for the government shutdown.

The people showed up in the streets for "No Kings."

They did their part.

The people showed up at the polls on Tuesday.

They did their part.

8 Democrats in the Senate surrendered last night.

They did not do their part.

Last week's election and last night's betrayal prove that the Democratic base has rightfully moved to the left of its establishment politicians and their status quo. Voters won't accept it anymore, so the party either follows them or fails. Me for @spitfirenews.com
