Dems concede based on norms and (naively!) trying to avoid future conflict *way too much* as we all know. In the context of an unrestrained executive, and an OMB director clearly willing to obey his instructions... why give the Republicans *anything* during negotiations without addressing *that*?

This is an incredibly important point imo.

just tremendous.

The piece on the shut down you didn't know you were waiting for

As I sold out of my original Nospurratu vampire kitty this year I decided to create another one, because no matter how hard you try, you can't keep Dracula down for long!

mRNA is amazing

Women’s March is proud to back @sbworkersunited.org baristas’ demands for a fair union contract. And if they’re forced to go on strike, we won’t cross the picket line and we’ll get our coffee elsewhere!

This was always, inevitably going to happen once masked, armed, unidentified agents started nabbing people off the street under the broad direction of the federal government. There is no just or safe way to do *that*, and it always makes space for other horrors. bsky.app/profile/lexi...

I HATE having to do this again, but emergencies dont care for timing
