We need to keep standing behind progressives to make sure that the bill reported out includes real reform, not a mere windfall for the insurers and drug companies. As Rep Kucinich says, it’s not yet time to say he’ll vote “no” on the final bill. But he’s not very optimistic.
I do take to heart the advice of my Wetmachine colleague Harold Feld, who constantly reminds us that whining and hand-wringing don’t help. What really matters is getting involved and supporting the people who are doing the right things. As soon as I post this I’m going to call Rep. Delahunt’s office. He’s signed the Progressives letter to President Obama saying he won’t vote for a bill that doesn’t have the American Option (AKA “public option”), and in general I’m very happy with his voting recordd. But his name doesn’t appear on the Progressive Caucus letterhead, so I’m not sure if he’s in danger of “backslidin’”. Now’s the time to dig in, sez I.
Get Ready for the 2022 Season of Spectrum Wars! by Harold March 15, 2022 It isn't the sultry Regency drama of Bridgerton, the action psycho-drama of Moon Knight, or even the, um, whatever the heck Human Resources is. But…
Imagine if cop shows were like: on tonight’s Walker: Texas Ranger… When a maniac goes on a psychotic shooting spree, Walker hides in his car for 47 minutes in full tactical battle dress then tases a concerned bystander to compensate for his guilt and shame over his cowardice.
Uvalde, Texas, is the site of one of the most important school walkouts in civil rights history. What Mexican American students did there in 1970 helped students like me years later https://voces.lib.utexas.edu/story-tags/uvalde-school-walkout
@wgroth1 @SteveHinnefeld @kfrancisco It's pretty much established fact that @AGToddRokita not only has no decency, but has no real empathy or humanity either. He is a walking, talking shitbag.
