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.

Don't know if anyone else is having elections right now, but if you are make sure your voice is heard.
I don't care who you are. It is a privilege to be able to vote and a hefty responsibility to vote.

Daniel Goldman went onto CNN earlier *TODAY* and said
1) He isn't sure if he'll vote for Andrew Cuomo
2) And that he won't endorse Mamdani because Mamdnai has not done enough condemnations of anti-Israel violence

People exit a quieting carnival. A couple walk hand in hand, when one suddenly collapses. His partner tries to wake him. Our view shifts up toward the carnival. The words "Happy Scare Carnival" flicker in the lantern light.

New week & with it new hope.
Realized this weekend we've (USA) been in bad places. Segregation, Great Depression, Red Scare. I wonder how the future looked then. Granted it's dire today, but no matter what I'll have hope because without it there can't be a tomorrow.

2. if a clerk picks up, they are always friendly
3. say "i am against cutting federal funding for gender affirming care". you do not need to justify it

The US government's looming shutdown hinges on anti-trans measures after Donald Trump refused to speak to Democrats unless they were passed.

My heart is actively breaking. Really didn't need anymore bad news, especially in a place I normally find so much joy. I'd recommend people voice their concerns

The solution right now is not saying “move to Mastodon, to Pillowfort, use Picarto galleries” etc, bc that won't stop this silent escalation of censorship and sexual repression on the internet. The issue is not which platform we choose, but rather raising our voices against what is happening.
