Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.

Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.

The American people need more from their leaders.

Remember when they said the reason they caved in March was so they could get a better deal in September lmao

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.

Chuck Schumer could literally announce his retirement in this fight and save more face, than folding to Republicans.

WE WOULD RESPECT YOUR SPINELESS ASS FOR RESIGNING.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Complicated hippie women, have hard-earned wisdom to share. We pretty accurately represent the confusing & contradictory reality of womanhood today.
Don’t dismiss the boomer hippies.

Read, relate, learn.

Long before girl bosses and trad wives, these countercultural women embodied female power. Let's give them their due.

Today I protested ICE fascists at the Broadview, IL facility, as I have for several months. I've shared before every time the escalation of violence has been by the State against peaceful protestors.

That happened again today.

We need to prosecute White House press secretaries. When they get up there and lie, every lie should be a year in prison.

It’s also worth noting that Adriana was a nurse who sought medical care for severe headaches during pregnancy.

She knew something was wrong.

She was dismissed & sent home and died the next day.

Medical misogyny killed her, and then the abortion ban caused her to be turned into an incubator
Adriana Smith, Misogyny and the Cruelty of Forced Birth
Adriana Smith couldn't access competent medical care when she needed it, and it killed her. Now the hospital is forcing 'care' on her by keeping her alive as an incubator due to Georgia's abortion ban

The more videos I see of masked ICE agents smashing windows or driving off with babies in the backseat…the more I think about last week’s FBI warning

Criminals are dressing as ICE to hurt people

If we normalize ICE taking off with children, guess what happens?

More trafficking & kidnapping

Good morning! Embracing our uniqueness is liberating. It's our distinct qualities & differences that make us extraordinary. Think about that the next time you see somebody who you think doesn’t fit in. And embrace your messy self!
P.S. Broken crayons can still color. 😊

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.

Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."

Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

Head's up there is a Bluesky ban scam going around. This account just joined 40 mins ago and send me this DM.

DO NOT CLICK THE LINK.

Bluesky would NEVER send a DM like this and make you scared. This would come through email and would have a more professional email than this.

Stay safe!

Sometimes when people ask me why I’m wearing a mask I say I’m traveling or have some important thing soon and can’t afford to get sick and miss it and that’s pretty much always true but I think it would be nice if it were more normalized to just say “I don’t want to get sick” and leave it at that
