There’s a constant concept that Muslim people hate queer people and want us dead.
And sure, yes, there is a small fraction of extremists.
But apples for apples there’s probably more queer hating white evangelical extremists.
I love how Mamdani has publicly broken their brains on this.

Following up on this. This remains a ‘cave is minutes or hours away’ situation. If you want to impact how this plays out you need to contact senators literally now. I want to add additional points of context. What I’m relaying is what I’ve picked up from highly reliable sources.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

RIP I grew up watching the sonics with my dad 💔
RIP Lenny Wilkins, one of 5 in the Basketball HOF as both player and coach, and an all-around mensch. Before the Jazz came to Utah, I was a Sonics fan (born in Seattle); Wilkins led the team to the NBA Finals in 1978 and to a championship in '79. He was so cool

Per Axios, “at least 10 Senate Dems will back a vote to advance a funding package through January”. In exchange, the Senate will “hold a December vote on extending ACA tax credits for one year” (it needs 60 votes to pass).
21 min ago: Senate Democrats entered a caucus meeting, with many moderates remaining tight-lipped about their posture on the possible vote on advancing the House-passed continuing resolution later this evening. Republicans need five more Democrats to cross the aisle to move forward.

I'm hearing the same thing. Dems are nearing a surrender. I'm shocked. Largest protest in history + best election night in years + polling showing we're kicking their ass in public opinion. And now Dems may cave.

A word of caution about the new Axios report that Dem Senators are caving. Remember the NYT ran articles for months claiming that Harvard was caving, which.. never happened. Turns out their anonymous sources were Trump staffers. Axios may be similar.
But, it never hurts to call your Senator.

If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.
