Oust every Democrat who promises “bipartisanship.”
Every single one.
Every single one.
It is time to look to the future.
The challenges that face America are many and great.
The Senate must respond with resolve, bipartisanship, and fidelity to the working and middle class of this country.

It’s nearly impossible to explain to non disabled people the hope we had at the beginning of the pandemic.
Hope for inclusion & accommodation. For better awareness & treatment of chronic illness.
Having that hope ripped away and replaced with increasing ableism, eugenics & hatred? Its devastating

Remember when the pandemic began and everyone started accommodating remote work? Everyone began showing brand new movies and live concerts streaming? Disabled people had been fighting for this for decades. Now it’s all taken away. It’s not that they can’t accommodate us, they just don’t want to.

People have gotten so into Nate Silver James Carville bullshit about politics that every argument now has to be about what will win elections instead of what you actually believe and when you end up at that point you don’t really have any values at all

The rhetorical move here provides a template for responding to Trumpian nonsense in the years to come:
"Trump's a corrupt fascist, & the way fascism works is by feeding you bullshit to distract you from its crimes, failures, & corruption. This [latest Trump 'controversy'] is that sort of bullshit"

Braedon: I come from a nation that believed in fascist ideology for a while. And we don’t want to go to that again. We are close to it because people want to simplify complex problems. The essence of fascism is to simplify complex problems and feed people who don't have time to read some bullshit.

COVID broke society in a several fundamental ways, often along vertical and horizontal slices that intersect at critical junctures in our social fabric, and I am increasingly convinced that it is a form of trauma that will take a whole two generations to recover from.
as someone on the zoomer/millennial boundary i feel there's a legit problem with people not knowing how to purchase groceries
