Damn near half of my career consists of tracking Republican challenges to the ACA and I’m twenty years in the game
Still processing the inanity of this cave, like, "We're going to make Republicans go on record that they want to destroy the ACA." You mean the motherfuckers who radicalized in opposition to it & voted to repeal it, like, 22 times? You're finally getting them on record? Really impressed over here
“If Schumer really wanted to use his considerable influence and leverage to stop this, he could have done that,” a senior Democratic Senate aide tells Zeteo. “He didn’t.”

i don't think the people in charge appreciate just how furious literally everyone is now-
the right is frothing at the mouth over boogeymen and misdirected grievance, everybody else is tired of working harder and harder for less and less-
now we're supposed to just eat a 300% insurance increase?

As others have said, we all need to be clear on the fact that what is happening in Chicago is a preview of what they are planning for all blue cities.
Especially as midterms approach.
They will tear gas us at the polls and say, oh, this isn't voter suppression. It's just business as usual.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
He is a computer safety researcher.
And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

Mayor Wilson could’ve called me to clarify and ask questions before blasting us in a newsletter, but of course he has to find a scapegoat when he doesn’t magically end homelessness on 12/1 by warehousing people.
Looking forward to clarifying this tomorrow.

The Impact Reduction Program also provides trash abatement, which is essential in maintaining clean, walkable sidewalks for all Portlanders. We shouldn‘t cut their budget.

If the rest don’t oust Schumer immediately, then the entire U.S. Senate sold us out. They think we’re stupid. It’s insulting.
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.

Right now we're pushing to complete 1,000 more in 4 additional cities before the end of the year. All in collaboration with trans-led groups who distribute directly to their communities.

Nuremburg trials is the moderate position
He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

One thing I love about @prismreports.org is that they work so closely with incarcerated writers, and surface things I had never thought about before. This piece on how extended incarceration is a violation of reproductive rights by functionally serving as involuntary sterilization is fantastic.
Long prison sentences function as involuntary sterilization of incarcerated people
By keeping me imprisoned through the years when I might have become a parent, the prison system reproduces eugenicist logic

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

You know what we donate to the local food pantries? We donate MONEY. Because they can turn that money into what those they serve need the most. I do not know what those folks need better than the food pantry does. So I give them my dollars and they turn them into something useful.
Sweet Jesus, do not donate seeds to your food bank in October. Honestly, don’t donate seeds to your food bank unless you are specifically asked to, and even then I would think REALLY HARD about whether that’s regionally appropriate.
When I needed food donations, I was in student housing.
