Republicans really are just running on a platform of “we will kill all of you for money” and millions of people love it, because they think “all of you” doesn’t include them, and they think they’ll get a cut.

Loophole: can’t boil what you don’t have 🧐

[City of Austin @austintexasgov]

⚠️URGENT ALERT⚠️@AustinWater has issued a city-wide boil water notice:

Standing in my flooded apartment in below freezing temperatures not having had heat or electricity for three days, I began to wonder if I shit on 2020 a little too much.

Apt neighbor had a pipe burst. My entire living room and kitchen is flooded. And now we don’t have water.

Day three without power/heat in freezing temperatures somehow just got worse.

[Sam Killermann @Killermann]

Reading political hot takes about the utility failure in Texas.

Surviving in my Austin apartment, 38F indoors, no heat no power for over two days.

Having a hard time seeing my phone because I can’t help but see my breath.

Grounding me in a way I won’t soon get up from.

[Katie Hill @KatieHill4CA]

Very on brand for republicans to blame power outages in a state that they run entirely on the Green New Deal proposed by democrats that hasn’t even been voted on yet let alone taken effect.

[Sam Killermann @Killermann]

Day 2 of not having power/heat. It was 8F outside, and it’s gotten down to 38F in the house. My pups are struggling.

We’ll make it through, but this is nightmarish.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The debate Democrats should be having is how much *more* we should be helping people this year, not how much less.

Two Rules for Life:

1. Be kind to people, especially when they don't "deserve" it.

2. Get a bidet.

[Austin J. Clements @ClementsAustinJ]

If you want a deep-dive into the mindset of “I’m not an antisemite I just want to save the Jews from causing their own persecution” you can’t do better (before Lindsay today) than Father Coughlin’s 1939 sermons compiled in the pamphlet “Am I an Anti-Semite?”

[Sam Killermann @Killermann]

I was hoping the end of Trump would be the end of reality being stranger than fiction,

but then an app named Robinhood acted as a protective force for unearned wealth,

shutting out everyday people from the chance to win back a few schillings legally stolen from them.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

The business model of Wall Street is fraud.

[Jess Dweck @TheDweck]

Financial experts keep saying stock prices should be tied to value but what about the value of getting to ruin a hedge fund guy’s life

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Gotta admit it’s really something to see Wall Streeters with a long history of treating our economy as a casino complain about a message board of posters also treating the market as a casino

[Ed Markey @EdMarkey]

I want recurring $2,000 checks for all until this pandemic is over and for 3 months after.

[Riley @YxshiCity]

weird how quick "essential worker" and "hero" went back to "burgerflipper"

[Sam Killermann @Killermann]

Holding the record as the first president in history to be impeached twice is one way to "win so much," I guess.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Even if one assumes this as some totally innocent oversight, how does the department responsible remove ALL the panic buttons from a highly visible member’s office and NOT inform that member or their staff?
