Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

It should be very clear to every Senate Democrat that any vote for Cloture will also be considered a vote for the bill. People aren’t going to be tricked with procedural games. They know exactly what is going on. Defend Medicaid. Vote NO on Cloture. NO on bill.

There is a special election in Virginia this Tuesday! Then special elections for the vacated House seats in Trump's cabinet. 31 states have local elections, 2 have Supreme Court races, and 2 more have statewide races we can win! Primaries in at least 3 states later this month. Let's GO!

In which @jamisonfoser.bsky.social distinguishes between OBEYING in advance and assisting in advance. www.findinggravity.net/p/no-jeff-be...

No, Jeff Bezos is not "obeying in advance"
The trendiest phrase in politics is often woefully inadequate

I understand Elon Musk is trying to get people to stop donating to Wikipedia, which reminded me that I hadn't yet made my usual annual donation to Wikipedia, so now that's been taken care of

Okay folks. It's December 23rd. If you're out shopping anywhere today (but especially at a bookstore, wherein my experience most lies), there is but one rule: Don't. Be. An. Asshole. Expanded, this rule breaks down in to ten sub-clauses:

Chris Murphy: "Why is Donald Trump engaged in this relentless campaign to try to silence journalists, media companies, and his political opposition? It's because he's trying to steal from you."

⚠️TRIGGER WARNING⚠️ Wait wait wait…. UnitedHealthcare did what now?!?!?🧐😳
Trigger warning!

I was drugged and raped in my home by an acquaintance. I drove myself to the ER at 9pm the following day, after debating for hours. I walked up to the desk, said my name, and told the nurse that I needed a rape kit. I had my sheets, the clothes I had been wearing, and other potential evidence in a paper bag. The woman asked me if l'd prefer she register me as a Jane Doe, "for privacy". I said absolutely not. I was still under my father's health insurance policy, with, guess who? Ding ding, UHC.

It took 7 hours before I was discharged. I was alone. I was already so traumatized, that those 7 hours don't feel particularly traumatic in comparison, but I assure you- it was every bit as bad as it looks on SVU. That's not the point.
The point, is that two weeks later I received a bill in the mail. Paraphrased, it read:

"SEXUAL ASSUALT EXAM- $1200.
INSURANCE COVERAGE- DENIED.
AMOUNT DUE- $1200"

And then another, in two more weeks. And then another. And then they added red font.

If my experience helps - it comes back pretty quickly! I transitioned from woodwinds in olden days to strings now, and it came right back (treble clef at least - I still haven't learned bass clef).

According to Korean constitutional law, if martial law is declared in a state of non-war, the National Assembly can vote to make the president stand it down. The National Assembly is gathering now. We are just now getting footage of inside the National Assembly.

Thank you for mentioning Ivor Novello! I just finished watching his "The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog" and it was wonderful, despite a few... 'unexpected' musical choices!
