A 55 year old Black man fasted and didn’t drink water for days to prepare for a 25 hour 5 minute filibuster, and started cramping from the dehydration towards the end of his marathon, but because he didn’t meet this insufferable white woman’s political purity test, he’s a hack. Christ almighty.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

Indivisible beat me to Step 1. I will also add that you need to email Nancy Pelosi. If she had to power to oust the most powerful man in the world, she has the power to oust Schumer. act.indivisible.org/sign/dem-sen...

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP. Schumer Fetterman Cortez Masto Durbin King Shaheen Gillibrand Schatz Hassan Peters Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

George Michael and Wham! fans: a brilliant author is writing a brilliant book about a brilliant man. In the meantime, if you haven’t read Sathnam Sanghera’s double volume, Empireland and Empire World about the impact of British imperialism on the UK and the world, respectively, you should!
