I know that primarying Dems is the call to action for the moment, but why can’t we recall them too when they vote against their constituents wishes or ignore public outcry?

Their manipulation in ending the shutdown for a pinky promise shows them working around primaries.

Got an email from Ancestry that my plan is renewing soon and I think any reparations plan MUST include access to free, professional genealogy. I shouldn't have to give so much money and effort to do this work because of this country's deliberate erasure of my ancestors' humanity

Are there any metal workers in the Philadelphia area that can help me fix a mobility aid?

Someone shared a TT of a woman encouraging everyone to boycott the holidays re: the government shutdown and the idea is really attractive to me, but based on the conversations I've been having with people in my life, I don't know if the country as a whole is ready for even that small of a sacrifice

Starting November 1st, SNAP benefits are being cut, leaving millions of people with limited or no access to food.

If you are able to help, help. Food banks also take cash donations, which allow them to fill the banks with what they know is most needed.

We are truly all we have.

Boycott thoughts that nobody asked for, but I’m sharing anyway.

The boycott is a start. It’s also a good time to really examine what’s needed for future movements.

We've seen snippets of racism but it was loud AF in the last episode. The mirror scene in particular (when taken in context with the "model minority"(MM) myth & much of what happens in WS systems to keep ppl in line) was infuriating. #Severance

As a disabled person with paralysis I would rather drop dead than ever consider even for a moment using an implantable medical device from that piece of shit

Disability can be an energy limiting condition on its own but I need people to understand that capitalism, inaccessible infrastructure and legislated poverty deliberately make it so much fucking worse.

I cannot emphasize enough how we are in an era where everyone is to be treated like disabled people have always been treated.

I confess I'm highly disappointed that Sabrina's duet with Dolly got sanitized but she's always true to who she is & I guess that one word is a bridge too far!

This is what's playing on a loop in my head all day long as I see various amounts of fuckery & ppl continuing to claim that there's no fire, no smoke & no reason for panic or action.

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options.

Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.
We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

You can only fucking win anything if you have solidarity. It’s why they try to pick off little groups of us- because they know together we defeat them. Just real basic bitch stuff here- all people, everywhere, solidarity
