How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

If a budget deal goes through without restoring Medicaid & ACA subsidies, they will never be restored.

That's a death sentence for millions of Americans but also to the entire republic and economy: Health care is a for-profit business generating TREMENDOUS economic activity & will grind to a halt.

This vote has not happened yet. Call your Senators, especially your Democratic Senators, and tell them that a deal without protection NOW for health insurance tax credits is unacceptable.

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.

nessie
A digital drawing of the Loch Ness Monster swimming with moss growing on its back and seaweed tangled on its flippers. The original 1934 photo is on the left side with a red heart drawn over the monster as several yellow cutout stars decorate the illustration. Word cutouts frame the drawing of Nessie that say “You may not see me anymore, but I still love you”.

Hey! I’m designing a heavy draft-type hippogriff for my OC world — basically the avian equivalent of a workhorse. I’m currently debating its nostril design, and I’d love your help choosing!

HUMAN ARTISTS!

Use one piece to convince people to follow you!

#mermaid #illustration #DigitalArt #Fantasy #oc #Characters
Digital Illustration of two people swimming; one human, the other merfolk. The ocean background is only a rectangle, the rest of the page having an off-white, textured paper border. The charcters overlap the ocean background, and the pieces that arent in that smaller rectangle are more vibrant instead of looking as if they are underwater. The human character, a girl with a long, dark brown braid, is on the left hand side floating slightly above with a surprised expression. She has brown toned skin, a nose piercing, an anklet, and shark tooth necklace. She is wearing clothes: A dark crop top, and lightly colored shorts and open, button up shirt. In her right hand, closer to her side, she is holding a golden, glowing trident with rope around the middle. She looks down at the merperson, who turns from a dive to look up at her. They have a fearful cringe on their face, looking up at the human. They have light colored, loose medium length hair, a frilly tail, and frills in their armpits and along the sides of their tail. Their skintone at their torso is lighter, while the tail fades to dark. One arm os gathered underneath them, while the other is extended at their side. They have shiny, dark eyes with no pupils that are a dimilar color to the fins where their ears would be.
