I go through the feeds of current/former elected Dems & repost them.

The problem no one seems to understand, which is driving this & many other problems w/ safety net policies is Rascism. Finland saw an increase in refugees, many of whom aren't white.
White people as a group are racist Everywhere we exist. THAT drives voting habits & policy. Period
Sadly the current right-wing coalition government in Finland has cut the funding for the nation’s “Housing First” success story, & homelessness is now on the rise again. That just reinforces the fact that such programs work, if political ideology doesn’t stand in the way.

Right? See how easy it is?

I hate Netanyahu but I love Israel
I hate Trump, but I love the USA
This is your regular reminder that yes Bibi is a fucking monster. I hate the government in Israel but I still love Israel.

Sound familiar?

Replace bibi with Trump and USA with Israel.

Get it now?

Some 15-20yrs ago on Twitter and Tumblr when women were saying America has a culture of rape my reaction was to say no we don’t.

I don’t know exactly when it happened but it’s been a long time since I’ve doubted that statement.

We absolutely have a rape culture

I think that somewhere along the way something in Stephen Miller got fundamentally damaged. This is neither an excuse nor a mitigating factor; the dude is genuinely fucking evil and he and everything he stands for should be fought against and stopped. But he is something beyond mere sociopathy.
Since Stephen Miller is in the midst of another of his Aryans-only trantrums, we should note that his family are 20th century immigrants from the shtetl of Antopol (Антопаль) then in the Hrodna gubernia of Russia. Applying his immigration rules, they would all have perished in the Holocaust.
Stephen Miller Is an Immigration Hypocrite. I Know Because I’m His Uncle.
If my nephew’s ideas on immigration had been in force a century ago, our family would have been wiped out.

Related, here is the "Living Wage" for where I live in Ohio: How much you need to make on a yearly basis to be able to afford things like health care, child care and housing. Depending on circumstances, it can be $100K+, and I live in a "cheap" area in the US.

Maybe another way to think of it is as the "participation line" - the income one needs to fully participate in expected aspects of US life without worrying about plunging into deprivation one way or another

An investor called $140,000 the new poverty line. Experts disagreed but said he had a point.
Michael Green’s tally of the costs of raising a family in the U.S. today is going viral, even if some economists scoff at his math.

On your deathbed, you will probably not be thinking, "at least I totally owned those trolls on social media," and if you are it's unlikely there will be anyone there to hold your hand as you go
The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

The so-called U.S. Attorney for New Jersey Alina Habba is serving in that position unlawfully.

She is an unqualified political hack and a complete disgrace.

It’s time for her to go.

Tom Emmer is the reason I have been boycotting Target since 2010. Target donated heavily to Emmer's all-homophobia-all-the-time gubernatorial campaign, and I have been boycotting ever since. Emmer does not seem to be happy unless he is being a big fat bigot.

"It's throwing us – the servicemembers – under the bus."

All servicemembers need to understand the window to escape is closing (and for some, has already shut). Look downrange: you're presently in front of the bus.
