I’ve explored many different approaches and processes in my multi-decade writing career. Outlining. Pantsing. Fast writing. Slow and deliberate writing. Coffee shop writing. Monastic cell writing. Public shrieking. Grave robbing. Cannibalism. Arson.
None of them work.

It's time to stop amplifying accounts who are Anti-Democrats. Especially those whose only lean is to constantly trash our party, when all of this preventable mess, is due to Trump and the GOP who control all three branches. Many lack political investment in harm reduction!

This is so familiar.
While I haven’t had this exact scenario, I’ve had similar said by people I thought were on my side: I should suffer more since I was already suffering. “For the greater good….”
Who made them the arbiters of goodness?

The number of people in the last 18-odd hours who’ve told me as a federal employee (contractor, so I have no guarantee of backpay) some version of, “well, you’re already fucked, so just take one for the team” has been really eye-opening.
And not in a good way.

What everyone should understand is that Donald Trump could just pay SNAP benefits so people don't go hungry.
He's choosing not to. He is choosing to appeal to SCOTUS. He is choosing cruelty.

The Senate passing a bill that is NOT the House CR means the House has to also vote on it. Dems are doing harm reduction and forced the repubs to cave and pass a different bill than the House. Now let's see what House repubs do.
Honestly, this is likely as good of a deal as the Democrats are going to get.
Reinstates fired federal workers. Prevents admin from re-firing them. SNAP funding for a year, and an ACA vote in December.
Voters are already blaming the GOP for the ACA - make them vote against it.

This entire exchange highlights what we're dealing with in America. Folks expect Dems to instantly fix everything the GOP breaks without giving Dems the adequate numbers to do instant fixes.

Because there have only been six(!) non-consecutive(!) months(!) since Carter(!) when the GOP couldn't obstruct everything!
Six months of progress, 44.5 years of obstruction or worse.
And building is always harder than destroying.

I refuse to believe this many of you have never met racist white people to such an extent that you think their suffering matters to them if it means they can still see people who don’t look like them suffer as much or more. Spanberger & Sherrill got those big margins & still didn’t get 50% of them.
