Do I blame republicans for the hundreds of thousands who will soon suffer?

Of course

But I also blame all those who sat the election out or were “conscientious objectors”

You commissioned suffering, too.

This fight over funding has been brewing since Republicans took over the House of Representatives in January 2023. From their first weeks in office, when they launched the longest fight over a House speaker since 1860, the Republicans were bitterly divided. MAGA Republicans want to slash government so deeply that it will no longer be able to regulate business, provide a basic safety net, promote infrastructure, or protect civil rights. - Heather Cox Richardson

To all those editors putting the Tangerine Tyrant on their covers as Man of the Year... here's the real Person/Woman of the year....

Gisele Pelicot has been fearless & in forcing the trial of her attackers to be public has struck a blow for women, dragging abuse (in the family and beyond) out of the shadows.

This is who we should salute at year end not the American Monarch!

"It’s textbook anticipatory obedience" - the most monied are the ones setting "the example by yielding to power first."

Eg, ABC News settles a Trump defamation case by donating $15 million.

And tech leaders have also cozied up, with major donations to Trump.

Snyder is an expert on how authoritarianism works.

But wait there’s more! The nurse during her procedure was coughing/sneezing with no mask on. To no one’s surprise my mom now also has #Covid.

Normally I’d fly home at this point, but being #immunocompromised myself, Covid exposure is a serious danger that could very well end with me in the hospital with her.

Not to mention the looming government shutdown threatening the TSA during busiest travel days of the year. (2/?)

I just don't understand, Mr. Arellano. Couldn't you have started citizenship proceedings after the first child was born?

“Luigi Mangione could face death penalty for killing member of wrong demographic: It only counts as terrorism when the victims are rich white guys”

by Laura in Normal Island News on Substack

“Not even high school shooters are classed as terrorists in the US because a class of kids is less important than a CEO who ruthlessly exploits the working class.”
