This is why we have a shut down right now: youtube.com/shorts/DJL0l...
On the first day of the government shutdown, Republicans and Democrats traded blame while a small bipartisan group of senators began to negotiate.
Mississippi recently declared a public health emergency because its infant mortality rate has surged. And with Medicaid cuts coming, experts fear the crisis may worsen in other states.
Why this shutdown matters.
“On average, a 60-year-old couple making $85,000 (or 402% FPL) would see yearly premium payments rise by over $22,600 in 2026, after accounting for an annual premium increase of 18%.”

Dems need to stop fighting about getting their messaging wrong. They didn't; they won, and the election was stolen out from under them. They need to investigate it further.

It should have been a straight to streaming/video and not released at the box office. This was the plan. They didn’t use union workers and then diz knee decided to see if they could get away with it. This was the mouse trying to set a crappy precedent.
In addition to being a great resource to continue to access materials the "free speech warriors" have deemed to be doubleplusungood, there is also access to open source software/documentation if you would like to create your own repositories of information the MAGA regime is trying to destroy.
Happy Presidents Day. #NoKingsDay

I started my Etsy page selling these beaded pride bracelets several months ago, and it's been difficult to get any traction on Meta because they suppress queer content. I hope Bluesky will be more kind.

Not that anyone should ignore the scandal, but I think we have ample evidence of important issues being ignored when sensations incidentally pop up.
I have a new little alarm bell.
Whenever something is sweeping through social media, especially if it’s about a celebrity or more generally scandalous, I go and take a look at what’s happening in congress or in the major conflicts in the world.
i just called mine about this! if you don't have your senators and congressperson in your phone contacts, also take some time to add them. The fewer steps there are between you and taking action, the easier it is, and the more action you can take!
