It's not like I'm rolling in money that I can't give to people who really need it. There are good candidates, and there are good causes, but I'm not going to risk one dime going to people who are fine with millions of people losing health care.

We gave them the victories they’ve been asking for and they turned around and gave up as soon as it was convenient. The carrot days of the Democratic base are over. Time for the stick. They’re not afraid enough of us. We can fix that (with votes).

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong,

it is right.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness,

it is a strength.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited,

it is unlimited.

This is absurdly bad PR. These are the images that need amplified. If you're online, think strategically about which images need to go viral to tell the story of the horrors of this moment. RT and share the shit out of them.

Hey, hey you, that feeling you got when you were marching and rallying alongside millions of other Americans. That glee you're getting from liking every damn post even if you couldn't make it out. That's hope. And may it spur you to more action.
We're stronger together. Always.

It’s interesting how we are asked to justify why there is an English Department at a college but not why there is an athletics program

I think both are valuable but it’s interesting which one is more likely to be on the ropes, again, at a college

Saw a TikTok turning the news about a father who “forgot” his child in a car to die while he watched porn into why his wife is to blame and why “bad mothers” are the real danger to children because they center men.

This is why I maintain that “bad mother(s)” is dog a misogynistic whistle.

Virginia state elections are November 4th. Virginia is our opening electoral salvo against the administration--a place where control of the State House of Delegates was decided in 2023 by just 975 votes.
