Listen to me, Democrats everywhere, you have got to be saying this kind of shit right now all the time like she has been. The literal least you can do. At least pretend like you have a fucking spine.

“The performance of certainty seemed to be at the root of so much grief. Everyone in America seemed to be afraid and hurting and angry, starving for a fight they could win. And more than that even, they seemed certain their natural state was to be happy, contented, and rich.“

it doesn't matter if the CR was bad or anywhere near good; as long as lawlessnes reigns supreme in Washington you don't vote for a single GOP bill or a single GOP nominee, why is this so fuckin' hard to understand

Too much is at stake not to keep up the pressure on the Senate Democrats up to the very moment of the vote.

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill. Do not let anyone play games with you.

Just left a message for @klobuchar.senate.gov stressing the importance of voting no on cloture. Tried to leave a message for @smith.senate.gov but her voicemail box is full. Call your Senators, tell them to vote no, and tell them to tell @schumer.senate.gov and Gillibrand to vote no.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

I called my senators @smith.senate.gov and @klobuchar.senate.gov and spoke to their (kind, generous, knowledgeable) staff members just now to give them this exact message.

The erosion of trust in science & scientists — sometimes due to complex social/historical factors but often deliberately perpetrated by charlatans — has tragic, deadly consequences, and, if unchecked, is an existential threat to society.

if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

If this doesn't feel like fascism to you because things are still mostly normal at work and school and the vacation is still planned, congratulations you've just learned what fascism is like. It is insidious. It will initially target only the most vulnerable — people who probably aren't like you.

Prem might be the most important journalist in America right now, the only person covering this story with the urgency it needs. Absurd that there isn't wall to wall coverage of this.

When I say that no gov/policy/media/organizing work can be effective without acknowledging that a solid 30-40% of the US is living full-time in an ARG that positions verifiable reality as an evil illusion, this is what I am talking about.

You can have the cops come beat the shit out of your students to prove you’re not a filthy commie and they’ll still do this to you and all you’ll have done is show everyone what a pathetic little coward you are. Might as well do the right thing the first time

Aside from the obvious direct harm, what's so irritating is that a handful of spoiled ignorant assholes are breaking things that we all built together. They weren't content to own almost everything, they had to wreck what little they didn't own. It's vandalism on a mass scale and has to be punished

I started talking about how we could end up in a place like this back in 2017. I constantly had moments of doubt and mortification where I worried I was, in fact, a crank. Reader, I was not being a crank, or even unreasonable. In fact, I did not imagine how fucking stupid it would be when it began
