In case you ever wondered-- Having your 150+ year old furnace die in New England in November, and needing to have chimney work and asbestos abatement done before it can be replaced?

The Shutdown stuff is taking center stage for the upcoming primaries, as it should be (Chuck Schumer is a complete sentence), but we must remind ourselves that there are active concentration camps operating on and off US soil.

For those who might miss the point of the day in light of American rebranding into Veteran's Day, I would want everyone to remember that on this day in 1918, at the 11th minute of the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month-- the guns of August 1914 finally fell silent.
Remembrance Day.

The Democratic Party is dead to me.
At its core, it is centrist and capitulates to the oligarchy.
I am abandoning you like you've abandoned us. No votes for Democrats in the center or further right. No Blue Dogs. Never again.
We need a new party.

I mean, most/all MAGA twits won't see this due to extensive blocking, but they really should take heed. The beloved Mango Mussolini of the working class supporters should note that he is actively going to court to try to avoid getting them the SNAP bennies they need to... yanno... eat.

So I've been paying $1200 a month this year for an ACA plan.
2026 preview site from the regime just went up.
This is what the exact same plan will cost me per month in 2026.
I'm beside myself.

Honestly at some point you have to start doing psyops with these people:
Have Obama announce that he will seek a third term tomorrow. Then watch all the con law “scholars” and Fix News MELT DOWN trying to explain why he can’t but Trump can. (It’s like Newsom taking over his social media persona)

Q: One theory on how you might try to serve a 3rd term is that you could run at the vice president
TRUMP: Yeah, I'd be allowed to do that. But I would rule that out because it's too cute.
