Why, if we have had numerous government shutdowns in our history, is this the only time the military is not being paid?

Yep. Moved to DENVER 5 years ago from Silicon Valley…apparently because Colorado is a “very sane & pleasant place” — UM, YEAH, sane enough to vote BLUE: our state went for HARRIS in 2024, fully BLUE st. leg., voting in landmark O&G regs & gun SAFETY, our beloved MAIL IN BALLOT… #ReadtheRoomPalantir

Scott Horton @robertscotthorton.bsky.social · 8d

Palantir is controlled by Peter Thiel, the man who "made" JD Vance.

Where is your Member of Congress during this government shutdown?

For five straight weeks, House Republicans have refused to re-open the House, refuse to negotiate, and even refuse to hold town halls.

Disgraceful.

It's been 32 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

He didn’t get that tattoo in some drunken blur and forget what it meant for 15 years. He knew. He kept it. He wore it. And only when it threatened his campaign did he finally decide to cover it up.

That’s not growth, that’s damage control.

Understand this: most Black people see the Graham Platner controversy through a completely different lens than most white people— our lived experience. So stop telling us it’s no big deal. It’s no big deal to YOU.

SNAP benefits are about to expire for millions.

Health insurance costs are about to skyrocket for millions.

Food prices are rising.

The government has been shut down for 25 days.

What is Trump focused on?

Tearing down a section of the White House to make way for a billionaire-funded ballroom.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.
