So, do we all agree that the Democrats breaking the line on this shutdown are almost certainly doing so as preselected sacrifices on behalf of their party because none of them are up for reelection this cycle and all of their personal explanations suck?

These 8 Senators sold us out to Trump:
Hassan
King
Cortez-Masto
Shaheen
Kaine
Fetterman
Durbin
Rosen
Understand This Fact: Chuck Schumer is behind this. None of these 8 are up for reelection in 2026. Schumer asked them vote yes—they agreed. He's such a coward that he folded and won't even own it.

Healthcare premiums are about to go through the roof.
Food assistance will still be cut.
Billionaires, insurance companies amd corporations are the only winners tonight.
Now more than ever we need folks to wear a mask.
People can’t afford to get sick.
Masking is resistance!

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Disabled people tried to warn you.
We said that the rising eugenicist sentiment that accelerated during the “back to normal” phase of Covid would eventually hurt everyone
The new healthcare plan for America appears to be:
Don’t get sick
If you do get sick, it’s your fault
If you can’t pay, die

If defending capitalism means making it possible for cancer survivors to have their access to healthcare taken away from them for any reason then I oppose capitalism. That should be the bare minimum position.
I am a cancer survivor who is still within the recurrence window. If we lose our jobs and I have a recurrence I will die.

UPDATE: Senate votes to advance a tentative deal to end the government shutdown, clearing a key hurdle.
Senators reach tentative deal to end the government shutdown
The deal, negotiated by a group of Democrats and GOP leaders, funds the government through Jan. 30. If it passes, it will still need to clear the House, which will likely take days.

The 8 Dems who voted against ACA are embracing eugenics.
This decision will disproportionately harm disabled people.
Many Disabled people have pre existing conditions & won’t be able to afford insurance.
Many live in legislated poverty.
Guess we aren’t dying fast enough for them

It really does seem like there's a decent chance that these senators screwed us because they don't want their personal Thanksgiving plans to be disrupted.
Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

This is what those 8 Dems just voted for
A return to a time when people died or became disabled because they couldn’t afford care
People are terrified tonight that they will have to start rationing meds
That they will lose their medical insurance
That they will die
Healthcare is a human right!

You should want other ppl to do well. Not to replicate whatever harm you resent because u feel that's the only way to process your trauma.

Don’t mind me, just overthinking what villagers I eventually want on my ACNH island 😂
I’ve decided to get rid of 4 or 5 of my current ones (all but 2 were random):
I’m keeping Zell, Ione, Pashmina, Sherb, and Rosie
I might get rid of Ava
I’m kicking out Sheldon, Whitney, Patty, and Kabuki

if the dems do this, i mean FUCK...this is embarrassing.
I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.
It ain't over til it's over, so please do call if you've got a Dem senator.

Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

There are endless examples of this regime of the bullies for the billionaires attacking our people. When we make believe we're in a fight for healthcare subsidies alone, as critical as those are, negotiating in good faith as if MAGA were normal party - we normalize the regime.

The clearest difference in our research between activated Americans (beyond voting, direct resistance) & not isn't ideology nor disapproval of Trump. It's if they view present reality as total break from norm.

Honestly if the Dems cave now they’re betraying the American people.
Trump won’t negotiate. He’s willing to starve people to get his way.
Imagine if instead of asking for weak concessions like a 4 month extension, they dug in and demanded Universal Healthcare?

A 20 year old Canadian was trying to visit her grandparents in Florida and was denied entry because customs officers thought she was trying to illegally immigrate.
Trust me, no Canadians want to sneak into the US.
This is another reminder that we should be boycotting US travel.

Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.
