It’s obscene. I saw at least a half dozen “journalists” I follow trying to dunk on the outline.

 

"All four of these omissions or elisions — these fights postponed — signal, to me, a movement that is capable of reining in its more vigorous ideological impulses in the name of building the broadest possible left coalition behind an ambitious climate solution. That bodes well."

I am skeptical of this also. I get the point and some of the ways it specifically has done this don't bother me but the GND only exists because of very ideologically focused grassroots organizing and I hope that activist base doesn't get superseded by technocrats and "non-ideological" "moderates" who are nominal climate hawks

 

Spiderman supports reproductive rights

 

Ok actually nevermind lmao:

If you’re keeping score at home, the Green New Deal now involves a federal job guarantee, the right to unionize, liberal trade and monopoly policies, and universal housing and health care.

The GND....is dope af again

 

Also given her comments the other day I assume Nancy is not going to be for this. She did the epic trump clap own tho so you win a little lose a lot you know

 

In *checks notes* Washington DC? Never.

 

It could just be nostalgia, but i still think I prefer the Blue New Deal.

It’s what I was raised on.

 

i was trying to be optimistic today jason :( i wasn't doing a very good job anyway though i guess

 

I thought the Red Guard Austin disbanded after they nailed a pig's head to the door of the library they thought Austin DSA was meeting at but it turned out the meeting was at a different library so they nailed a pig's head to the door of a random library for no reason. I guess they're still around. I really think that group is like 90% cops honestly, so ridiculous. Calling people revisionists in 2019 should exclude you from society (and it does - but that's more of a self selection thing lol)

(click the first tweet for the original story)

 

Widespread online banking, mobile app outage hits Wells Fargo customers

 

Definitely doesn’t make it ok, but I’m pretty sure I got a warning in the app a day or two about service maintenance or something happening where some services would be down. I thought it was just referring to the app itself though, not all banking. Awful.

 

Yikes.

 

Caused by a fire in the server room in Minneapolis...

 

That was actually a separate incident.

 

Oh my god.

 

"Then, finally, we’re getting some meat off of this rotting carcass: Krassenstein One is recounting an anecdote about the comedy of being a liberal living in the MAGA swamp that is Southwest Florida. I’m going to loosely paraphrase this story (direct quotes where noted), which most certainly, without a doubt, is a real thing that definitely happened:

His wife sent him to the store, and in the checkout line, some guy recognized him and said, “Oh, you’re that Trump hater from Twitter.” Everybody stopped and looked at him. He responded: “No actually, I’m the American truth teller from Twitter.” (Here one Krassenstein promises the story gets better. It does not.) Then the MAGA aggressor asked: “How many illegal immigrants have you taken into your house?” He was not bested: “How about you, how many homeless veterans have you taken into your home?” Checkmate, opponent owned to oblivion."

 

Yeah... 10% is a big loss, but then it would also be fair to say their stock price as having a meteoric rise since the last time it was at $30.97. That was only three weeks ago. Anyway, I hold no Twitter stock but I'm bearish on them long term.

 

Markey said they’ll get the GND through with 60 votes and GOP support el oh el

 

Oh Florida
