Yes, I care greatly about the outcome of the midterms, but if you’re not feeling urgency to speak out and push back every day between then and now, you’re missing the gravity of this moment.

I see that the United States' peculiar brand of Christian Nationalism includes judging the poor for needing SNAP benefits (judging is something Jesus said *not to* do) but not helping the poor with SNAP benefits (helping the poor is something Jesus told them *to* do).

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Trump: "I haven't been watching it too much, the World Series. I'm disappointed they didn't put Pete Rose in. And with all the gambling you see now -- I mean, gimme a break."

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

Amen.

There was no one unified and tidy movement, but rather multiple overlapping ones with rival leaders and disparate constituencies, generational and sectional tensions, arguments over strategies and tactics, wildly different attitudes to capitalism and religion, focal points all over the map …
Here’s the thing about the Civil Rights Movement people don’t realize, shit was messy.
I’m sorry what? The goal of the health system is to… add value to the gdp??
Dr Oz: "We should make you so healthy that you flourish in life and you engage the workplace. Getting America back to work full speed, getting you to work longer if you desire, that builds trillions of dollars of value to the GDP. That's the goal of the health system."
