  Worth remembering that they all have been pissing themselves with fear that the Dems will use a majority to send them to jail and that the Dems should absolutely make their worst fears come true

  One thing I will note about this, Trump's slashing of ACA subsidies absolutely helps employers trap employees at subpar wages. In many industries (my partner's included) job hops are the only way to increase income. But each hop now effectively means an immediate $1800+ penalty.

  Holy shit are these exchange plans pricey now. Got my husband and I set for $131/month but the kids are no longer CHIP eligible, and we're looking at $250 a month a piece

  It's also a plan to collapse preschools (which are already in quite serious crisis) and make workforce re-entry economically untenable for women with young children RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:nvfposmpmhegtyvhbs75s3pw/post/3mus63n4hvc27

  Don't underestimate the power of the neighborhood listserv. I helped organize transition our local parenting listserv to a new system (to defeat spammers) and now half the time I meet new parents around town they say, "wait, THE Gwen Snyder? Of [listserv]?" Very funny but also: trustbuilding!

  Oh I don't think they could WIN a civil war, I just think his only options are a) losing midterms or b) starting one RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:bcybd4duwf52u5rvrcdyfuw3/post/3mqsn6w2vek26

  I'm sorry, no. the Guardian article is fine. Electing union dudes is *great.* But the Atlantic article that Jared is quoting-- and specifically the quote he pulls-- is NOT. Elected office does not and should not need "manliness credentials," that is sexist af, what are we doing here RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:klhtmrnregub7we7h6jwiljm/post/3mqk36e3g4c2c

  By the way, on any level, this is what you have to prepare for *any* time you are attempting to build community, political or otherwise. Trump is a special adept at this, but any successful project inevitably attracts attention/money grifters and you need to protect what you've built.

  Sometimes I go over to X to name search and make sure Nazis haven't tweeted my address or something and without fail what pops up from the last month is Chapo Trap House fans reminiscing to each other about how in 2020 I said it was bad that the hosts were using Nazi memes invented to praise Hitler

  What upsets about the Euro AC haughtiness isn't individuals saying AC is expensive/tricky *individually.* What gets me is the dismissiveness towards finding structural solutions to keeping the vulnerable alive as climate change asserts itself.

  I know what hell has ready on the menu for Greg Gutfield, when he arrives RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:jneyezfr67ntrlxterfgyn5g/post/3mmx3563uxk2j
