It's funny to me how many reviewers seem to be unaware that "Wicked: For Good" is the second part of the same story. It's not a sequel.
Like yeah, it's all dreary and serious because that's where the story goes. It's one story.
Really should've been 1 movie but capitalism.

Marge Greene announces she is resigning from Congress, that she doesn’t want to go through a brutal primary against a Trump backed opponent, and says Trump has treated her like a battered wife and has been hateful to her and is trying to destroy her.

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem should resign and be criminally charged, according to critics who seized on a report revealing that zero people who were arrested in a high-profile raid were charged with a crime.

As my wife says, just look at your grocery bills. It's obvious things are more expensive.

Really important and matches my experiences talking to leaders at food banks and soup kitchens. One chef at a soup kitchen said that in winter he has to figure out how to feed people using very random ingredients (peanut butter, pasta etc).
So donate now, but definitely plan to donate this winter!

Semiannual reminder that if the holidays are reminding you that you want to help your neighbors, pick a day and put it on your calendar. My homeless friends have told me that they could eat 30 free meals on Thanksgiving if they wanted to, but mid- February or March it all dries up!

My mistake has been trying to explain what "fascism" is to people who don't care what it is.
So I'm going to try something else. Let's do this as a practical thought exercise.
If America *were* fascist *today* - what would you have to do differently in your daily life? /1

I’ve been using this GIF to describe actions of the Democrats for as long as it’s been technically possible to post GIFs on social media, and it sucks. It has always sucked, but it’s historically unconscionable to be this spineless & complicit when so much is plainly at stake. Primary all of ‘em.

Really important. The Senate Dems who voted for this really got nothing.
Even if an extension of the ACA credits were to get 60 votes in the Senate, there is no guarantee whatsoever that Mike Johnson will allow a vote on that language in the House.
The Speaker alone controls what comes to the floor.

Ya know what solves this? Eliminating the profit motive for insurance. Best way to do that is universal healthcare coverage, which is why almost every other country has it.

Important to note that the DNC, House Dems, 2028 contenders, and even the most pro-leadership pundits and influencers are all laying on Senate Dems right now.
They betrayed all of us. Schumer has no allies left.

Go volunteer for a progressive launching a “hopeless” campaign against an extremely entrenched incumbent currently squatting in a safe Blue seat. The worst thing that happens, is that you drag the incumbent to the Left. Best case? Zohran Mamdani, who was polling at 6% in January.

I bet it's a higher number now.
