Whenever I read studies
with findings such as:
“Alzheimer Disease Patients
Who Survived COVID-19
Have Rapid Disease Progression
and a Higher Risk of Death
at 5-year Follow-up,”
I am reminded
that none of us have truly
“Survived COVID-19,”
we are still just trying to survive it.

After being gone for 7 weeks, the House next week will vote on two bills impacting DC: the “District of Columbia Cash Bail Reform Act of 2025” (H.R. 5214) & the “Common-Sense Law Enforcement and Accountability Now in (CLEAN) DC Act of 2025” (H.R. 5107): rules.house.gov/media/announ...

Get your coffee from NOT Starbucks today. Found this resource to help you look for unionized coffee (ty Reddit) but hey— a locally owned establishment will do (as long as they didn’t try to put over 100 additional people on their payroll ahead of a union vote).
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Hey @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social why don’t you GAF about people being violently kidnapped on DC streets? This is not public safety.

Muriel Trump thinks you’re dumb. @mayorbowser.dc.gov insists she’s not lying when she says MPD doesn’t do immigration enforcement while more than a dozen officers inflict trauma on one person and the community around them at a time. Always record the police, even for minor traffic stops. #FreeDC
Another person taken by immigration enforcement — after being stopped by MPD.
Why is MPD making stops if this is the result? The mayor and Chief Smith have said MPD isn't supposed to do immigration enforcement — so why does this keep happening? www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/v...

This thread is a needed reminder of why it is so important to avoid SARS-CoV-2 and not spread it. I’m so sorry this awful virus has stolen so much from Jessica. #MaskUp #VaxUp #SpreadLoveNotSARS2
I’m living a ghost of a life. I may never eat normally again. And it makes it so hard to watch people expose themselves to Covid over and over knowing that THIS could be not even the outcome, but some kind of midpoint.
Please do not get this disease, and please do not give it to anyone else.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Assume all the yes and no votes from Dem senators are strategic and not sincere votes. The party caucus made a decision. No way to know how many were in favor. Then the caucus decided who would vote yes and no based on what would protect each of them politically the most. That’s how this works.

This is just so fucking cynical. We do not have an opposition party in the middle of an authoritarian regime. Goddesses save us.
The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.
so currently defectors are:
Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)

Exactly like the deal they got in March when @alsobrooks.senate.gov had a separate bill to undo the $1billion damage to DC’s budget, which also went fucking nowhere. Chuck Schumer killed the Democratic Party.
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.

Democrats have to stop bailing out Republicans from facing the consequences of their own policies. And yeah, that means they have to stop sparing voters from experiencing what GOP government truly means.
Every time Dems step in, it only emboldens the GOP & they make it even worse the next time.

So Democrats get:
1. A CR that will prevent the GOP from facing the wrath of Americans for a shutdown over the holidays
2. A coupon for one (1) meaningless ACA vote that will fail
3. An end to the illegal RIF/SNAP moves that are already before the courts
Those all seem like wins for the GOP.

Did someone say concentration camps?
This is horrifying.
ICE has been failing to meet its daily quota and as a result they’ve grabbed children, disabled people, citizens and literally anyone else they can get their hands on.
If they convert warehouses into huge camps, no one will be safe:

Was literally in a conference on immigration law & policy last month where keynote speaker Fareed Zakaria told everyone that “illegal immigrants” was the correct term to use, that Democrats need to stop calling them “Latinx,” a word he alleged Ds invented, & said asylum seekers are lying.
Data shows Trump’s dehumanizing rhetoric spreading beyond just his supporters.
