Schumer's using the lame duck to rush a GOP bill opposed by Jeffries, most of the incoming Dems, NAACP, Earthjustice, Sierra Club, ACLU, Detention Watch Network, and Public Citizen. It's an inexcusable break with coalition, party, and caucus. It's incompatible with him remaining in Dem leadership.

22 Democrats including their Leader Chuck Schumer & Incoming Judiciary Committee Chairman Whitehouse vote to advance a bill less than a week after an historic election giving Dems huge majority/leverage ... that will ... checks notes ... to speed up building of data centers.

I’m seeing a lot of “but we voted on it!” already and like. Yeah. You did. But YOU’RE not the one who has to enforce a blatantly unconstitutional law against *children* who you have been charged to protect. The school district doesn’t want to get sued, if nothing else.

Per The Seattle Times, the Seattle Public Schools board of directors voted this evening to allow the district to take legal action against Initiative 638, the ban of transgender girls participating in sports. So here we go.

Freedom of Speech is a paramount right in this country. It is wrong that Seattle’s own Climate Pledge Arena is reportedly blocking Macklemore’s performance. I call on Climate Pledge to make every effort to ensure Macklemore is able to perform in his own hometown arena. Seattle is better than this.

this should always be the answer!!! how are THEY compromising?? how are THEY reaching across the aisle??? THEY lost. THEY are in the weakened position. if they want stuff, they need to be willing to prove it. it is past goddamn time they were held to some fucking expectations by the media

After Georgia Dems flipped the House and Governor’s mansion, Senate Dems held a press conference on Wednesday and were asked: “how are Democrats planning to work with Republicans?” I responded, you’re asking the wrong question. The question now is: how are Republicans planning to work with us?

What would be an unhinged/very funny choice if a character to give the One Ring to? Like I saw "best non LOTR female character to resist the one ring" and I'm like no. No what if you gave it to Rebecca.

Honestly it's time to dismantle the entirety of DHS and revert the agencies back to the pre-9/11 status quo Combining all the disparate secret police forces into one department turned out to be Very Bad Policy™ that led to the exact thing its original critics said it would

No, it’s time to dismantle ICE entirely and investigate the crimes committed by its armed goons and then turn that info over to state and local prosecutors

I like how this meme manages to acknowledge both without turning it into infighting, instead calls for people to all focus on continuing the fight for a better world.

text: your 12 hour millennial optimism pass has been revoked, now it is time for revolutionary optimism overlaid on a painting of a woman handling a flaming molotov to another woman standing on a ladder overlooking a wall. the painting style and clothing of the two women seem french revolution-inspired, but i don’t know much about art so i might be wrong there.

One or two people I know IRL have been publicly poo-pooing midterm enthusiasm on the terms that "liberals are just going to return to brunch," and I think it crystalized something for me, which is that there is a tendency within some of our movements to be deeply, venomously suspicious of joy
