Reposting this because one of my new tires went flat today and this is turning into a nightmare saga. I’m moving in less than a month and that’s gonna cost more than I expected too. Anything you can give, I will be so grateful.

A Different World is getting rebooted on Netflix. A sequel series focusing on Dwayne Wayne and Whitley Gilbert’s daughter attending Hillman College is on the way.

My parents and I rent a minivan whenever we go on a family vacation because it can fit us and my brother, SIL and nephew.
(And for this kid who was raised on Star Trek: TNG, it’s basically an earthbound shuttlecraft.)

Arianna Sofia Veraza and her parents were driving to Sam's Club for milk, eggs and diapers yesterday when they heard helicopters and horns blaring yesterday. They had turned around to leave when a federal agent pepper-sprayed them through a car window.

The ACA fucking *sucks*, is a national shame, is confoundingly cruel and ineffective and insufficient and, also, simultaneously is SO MUCH MORE PREFERABLE to pre-ACA American healthcare it's not even close.
The thing about ACA is that if an American describes how it works to someone from literally anywhere else, the other person will be utterly horrified at its deliberate cruelty.
The way the horror of pre-ACA healthcare sounds to an American, is basically how ACA sounds to everyone else on earth.

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.

It shows Schumer no longer has the caucus.
It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not.
If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.
If the Dems blink after all of this, for a deal that all but ensures no ACA subsidies in 2026 anyway, then what was the purpose of letting the shutdown go for 40 days in the first place?

I started working at Target when I was 16 and the number of grown men who tried to get me to leave with them was out of control. Making young women smile at every man in their vicinity is a great way to put their safety at risk and I'm not exaggerating.
