It's also why all of those smug european countries are pulling back on their welfare programs. They were happy to have them when they were relatively homogenous but now that they're afraid of immigrants having them - esp POC - they're scaling back

"Why don't people support welfare programs?"

Racism. More specifically, anti-Blackness.

White folks asked about who welfare serves overestimate the number of Black people on welfare. Not only that, but just the mere THOUGHT of who welfare supports led less white people to support it. #blacksky

We got cleaned out of all the candy last night (good!) and I saved a few choice bits so I could have some treats today (smart!) but my horrible son came home from his Halloween party last night and ate it all (bad, very bad). I’m kicking him out.

I remember back in 2010 when the giants were in the World Series on Halloween, with their iconic black and orange colors, and people listening to the game on radio speakers with their kids as they trick or treated. It was epic. Such a fun vibe all over the Bay Area.

I’m reading the new Louise Penny, and… I’m just not that into international conspiracies. What happened to the creepy murders in the quaint little village?? That’s what I signed up for.

I heard from two friends yesterday who got their first notices of rising premiums on their ACA plans. One person turns 65 in early 2026 and is relieved she won’t have to pay that extra $1K a month. Another friend reports her premium is going to triple (to cover herself and spouse, both under 65).

I’m a native Californian, a lifelong democrat, and I love my state. I’m disgusted that my governor is throwing trans people under the bus. He is simply unwilling to look in the mirror and face his own transphobic bias. His statements have no basis in facts, just his own personal prejudice. He sucks.
