Every single Democratic senator that votes to cave on this should be immediately ejected from the party, and the national party should immediately start running primary candidates in their districts.

There is no bipartisanship possible with traitors and fascists. You either fight, or die.

I gotta give it up to the writers tho. If NYC elects a Muslim mayor on the day Dick Cheney died, that is one hell of a slow played story arc. Every time you want to fire 2025's writers room they give you a little narrative resolution as a treat.

This is why Chuck has NO REASON to come back to the table. Let them twist. If you're coming back with wins this big during a shutdown, the people know where their bread is buttered. Don't throw them a lifeline. These aren't tiny margin wins. They're blowouts.

Trump will forever be known as the president who weaponized hunger and defied a court order telling him to stop.

What a garbage human being.

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

Follow the thread for an easy block list. It's so gross (though not surprising) that the first posts from these gov accountsare divisive from the start.
US Government accounts have arrived on Bluesky.

Block on sight.

Protect your digital space.

Be aware that the DHS account in particular is known to quote dunk on regular people to encourage their followers to harass them.

The detach quote function will come in very handy here…

It took me less then five minutes to cancel, and I told them why. It sounds like this pressure and consumer revolt is getting noticed, so keep it up.

And don't forget that Trump is all over the Epstein files. It's so bad, the entire GOP will destroy America, if that's what it takes, to protect him.
It's pretty easy to cancel your Disney+ subscription, and a coordinated, national day of cancellations would send a very clear message about our values as Americans.
Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Passive voice obfuscates responsibility for actions.

That's why journalists should avoid it 99% of the time.

Like this lede: She "was hit." But it was an officer who shot her, not a rogue rubber bullet that autonomously took flight and slammed into her.
