We taught kids to read, write, and dream; then trained them to hide, barricade, and bleed quietly while adults chose guns, cowardice, and silence over their future.

I do think our next move is we insist every Senate Democrat get on the record demanding Schumer step down. We tell them that if they don’t, we will know they were in favor of this action tonight and they will face the power of grassroots primary organizing.
Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week

Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

It is time for the Democrats to have new leadership. Chuck Schumer has shown his incompetence as leader.
Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him

And they should, given this is his fault.
This is a lovely sentiment but Schumer isn't up for re-election until 2028 and he knows this. At which point he will be 77/78. There's no mechanism to recall a sitting senator AFAIK.

it is darkly humorous that after all these years, the Republican health insurance plan ends up being to end health insurance

He read “South America” as “South Africa” because he’s blind, but then he has to ramble incoherently about South Africa in order to pretend that he meant to say it.
Trump: "For generations Miami has been a haven for those fleeing communist tyranny in South Africa. I mean, if you take a look at what's going on in parts of South Africa. Look at South Africa, what's going on. Look at South America, what's going on. You know, we have a G20 meeting in South Africa."
