The choices were "bad" or "more bad."

That's the way it's going to be, since my fellow white people decided we should elect this absolute Nazi twatwaffle.

There aren't going to be good options for a long while. Maybe not again in my lifetime.

Start thinking collectively, fellow clears.

People can either accept that this is who GOP is and commit to voting them all out of power ... or keep thinking this kind of lunacy is somehow admirable / insisting Dems are "losers" or "complicit" if they can't magically stop the madness of the psychos America elected to run everything.

And if the answer to that is "the other path increases suffering, too," then there's no right path, and getting worked up about Democrats choosing the wrong one is addle-minded.

I'm not really upset about this deal. It was inevitable. I don't want families to starve. I don't want planes falling out of the sky. I'm glad thousands get their jobs back. What I don't like is the craven sneaking some Dems did.

I need those ACA subsidies.

My neighbors need food.

I’m not going to fault the only party that wants us to have both for only being able to secure the food.

Be mad at Republicans.
Be mad at your maga family.

Use the rest of your energy to give Democrats a majority.

Another species no longer on the global Endangered list:
Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae).

A few decades after a Star Trek movie where the central conflict was the total extinction of the humpback, their numbers are rising fast enough to put them at "Least Concern" on the IUCN Red List.

I feel like I'm reducing the poetry in this script so it's more palatable to less literate people & I'm not sure if that's the right thing to do…

Maybe?

Keep in mind that more folks are calling Democrats about this shutdown. There are not enough calls of support. If you can take time to bash them on here, you should be able to call and support them.

Those of us who just got duped into flipping out about something, let's wait to flip out about Democrats "caving".

Let the other folks do that and just sit back and watch this play out.

They’re wearing masks so they can’t be prosecuted later. As long as they think they can’t be prosecuted, their crimes will intensify. They will torture, starve and kill, as they have already, on greater and greater scale.

I’ve come to believe that we need to gather considerable forces and a campaign to demand the removal of face masks by ICE, Border Patrol, FBI and police.

It is a practice in conflict with the principles of transparency & accountability that are central to the concept of democracy.
Video on social media shows an immigration agent pulling a gun in Little Village and holding it to the side — which is not an appropriate or safe way to hold a gun. (Among other issues.)

I'm now not just thinking social media was a mistake, but I'm side-eyeing speech too. We weren't meant to know how dumb and crabby so many people are.

Funny how, in the wake of successful, free and fair nationwide elections in which Democrats performed splendidly and Republicans, well, stepped on rakes, all these little doomers are crawling out of the woodwork to undermine confidence in the 2026 midterms.

Keep calm and vote Democratic.

OVER A MILLION USERS

DISCUSS SUICIDE WITH CHATGPT

EVERY *WEEK*

what the fuck are we DOING here
Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

Now that's embarrassing. My "Ask A Black Person" service would have prevented such a public display of ignorance for the low, low price of $10k a month retainer.
