Next year’s Trump tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires would pay for insurance tax credits for 22 million Americans FOR THREE YEARS. He shut down the government down for wealthy. The middle class pays the price.

That’s why we won’t stop fighting.

Why ACA tax credits for 22 million Americans are at the center of the government shutdown drama

With time running out to avert a government shutdown, millions of Americans who get health insurance under the Affordable Care Act could soon face sharply higher premiums.

Dear husband noticed that Strahan's sign has two monopoly-looking houses (one for where he lives in Ward 3 and one for where he pretends to live to run in Ward 1) and this be the most truth telling I've ever seen crop into a yard sign. Anyway, Northeast, go early vote for @elliottpayne.org!

Did you just cancel a few subscriptions to cowardly corps who enable fascism and you don't want to pay them to do it? Great! And! What you direct your energy to grows. Especially if you live, work, or play in MN (ahem, @farmaid) redirect that cash to mnhonortax.org. Let's reroot in relationship.

So since I posted this I’ve learned even more. Turns out on August 19th, Brian bought another duplex in Logan Park. This is even funnier because it proves everything he said during the caucus process was a lie.

Liam Davis Temple @liam2manynames.bsky.social · 25d

In the Strib voter guide Brian Strahan says his neighborhood is Logan Park. Close, but not quite. His Ward 3 home where he has voted from as recently as January of this year is Sheridan neighborhood. The duplex his wife owns in Ward 1 is Windom Park. Lying so much he can’t get his story straight.

For the infant who is too young to get one. For the cancer patient who can't while they're on chemo. For me, your immunosuppressed neighbor who got my own, but is still at heightened risk. Please get your flu and covid boosters, y'all.

Elizabeth Wrigley-Field @wrigleyfield.bsky.social · 29d

We got my 3-year-old a Covid booster last week—earlier in the fall than we would’ve preferred, but taking no chances on losing the opportunity later.

Do additional COVID vaccines really help?

We've accumulated a lot of scientific evidence in the last few years.

Minneapolis is built on the asthma and cancer of our black, brown, and indigenous neighbors. We can't change what happened. But we can change what happens next. Neighbors, please tell @mayorfrey.com to at least, you know, meet with EPNI www.epnifarm.org/news/epni-st...

So would it be easier to just slap a water treatment center on the site that the City's neglected for generations? It sure would. But Mayor Frey, if you *really* want "opportunity for all residents" (as your campaign periodically says) then you need to show up, put in the work and stop milking EPNI.

And y'all, there's a whole book about how the City and it's ruling elite (looking at you, @dfl.org) created what by 1957 the papers called an "unofficial reservation" in East Phillips. www.upress.umn.edu/978151790480...

Hey look, that jigsaw puzzle the Mayor calls irresponsible is investment in the neighborhoods that were redlined 🧐

This is a @gerikatz.bsky.social appreciation post. In a tender time of a tender summer in a town still tender from 2020, I'm watching Geri throw in behind so many scenes to protect so many beloveds. Thank you, Geri. I wish you didn't have to, and I'm grateful that you are.
