The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

1. First - if you're a macroeconomist, you can skip ahead as I want to start with some pretty basic stuff. Because statistically speaking, most people aren't macroeconomists.

Folks the short answer to why government is shut down: GOP holds White House, House, and Senate; refuses to compromise; does Trump's bidding; and doesn't care about the damage to our country or people's lives. End of story.

Pope Leo, a good man from Dolton, Il (a south suburb of Chicago). One has to wonder if his comments are even more driven by what he sees happening in Chicago.

What a surprise. I guess people did not believe him when he promised.

OK folks, here's the deal. Spotify is running ICE recruitment ads and has ignored asks to stop. It's time to tell them we won't stream fascism - by cancelling our subscriptions. Here's how to get started: indivisible.org/cancel-spotify

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP.

A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify.

I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

Virginia is our biggest test yet for our ability to out-organize Trump and MAGA at the ballot box.

That money, regardless of how much/little, is not going to the military, it’s going into someone’s pocket. Guess whose pocket.

“Ballrooms and Breadlines“. That has to somehow be part of the Dems slogan In these coming months.

Bears win one the 'Monsters' way — with defense and a running game — despite Caleb Williams' struggles

There’s no great achievement in kicking a sad-sack opponent to the curb, but it was how the Bears won a fourth game in a row — for the first time since 2018 — that counted.

I looked up integrity in the dictionary today and I saw a picture of John Dean. …. John Dean, thank you. You are an example for our current situation.

Spiro’s Ghost @antitoxicpeople.bsky.social · 16d

Happy 87th birthday to John Dean, who is living history. 52 years ago, he stood up to an out of control POTUS whose behavior seems quaint to what we are dealing with now. He admitted his own mistakes and did the right thing. Ever since he has spoken out loudly about authoritarianism & so much more.
