This caught my eye. Adopting any far right policy, makes a party far right. That’s it. There’s a saying about if 11 ppl sit down for dinner with a Nazi, then there are 12 Nazis. This idea you can pick up far right policies & not be far right is such a denial of history & fact.

Alice was a true light. She was uplifting, the most supportive *and* just always kept it the realest. I'm going to miss her so so much. The Bay and many communities beyond are mourning this huge loss 💔 19thnews.org/2025/11/alic...
Alice Wong, disability justice advocate and author, dies at 51
Wong envisioned a world where disabled people, particularly those from multiple marginalized backgrounds, could live freely and with full autonomy.

I regret to inform you that my Christmas tree decoration collecting has kicked off again. This lad & many others were recently added. The most recent estimate suggested I had 4,000 tree decorations. And yes my tree is reinforced.

How plants decide when to flower: Scientists discover a phosphorus-responsive switch

Medicaid, SNAP, Housing First, are all direct net social and economic positives. Also studied and shown the same for everything from free school lunches to UBI.
Poverty relief boosts the economy, increases economic engagement, decreases crime, and more. Even amoral POV, it's empirically desirable.

Them: “I’m sick of subsidizing their groceries when mine cost so much”
SNAP does not drive up grocery prices.
That would be inflation, tariffs & corporate greed.
For every $1 spent on SNAP there’s a $1.50 going back into the economy.
While you’re blaming the poor, the rich are robbing everyone.
