To those who didn't vote:
I get it. Both options were bad. It was like being given a choice between having your foot run over by a golf cart or having your leg cut off by an axe murderer. The correct answer is, "no, thank you, neither." But what you didn't understand is that "no" wasn't an option1/

I'm literally going to put a table of pantry good and candy in front of the house. I'll put a light on it. Come get whatever. There's a bunch of kids on my street. There's a lot of adults without stable housing, too.

FACTS about SNAP:

-35% to white people (largest share)
-90% to people born in 🇺🇸
-86% to households with kids
-70% work full time but aren’t paid a living wage (aka corporate welfare)
Yeahhhh.. and I forgot my travel cup at my desk yesterday, so had no way to bring a cup with me :(
I mean, talking to trees and doing full moon ceremonies is not a deal breaker for me. However, the "never completed residency" and EXPIRED MEDICAL LICENSE, those are.
Because obviously $200/month is a substitute for healthcare.. my best friend gets food stamps, works full time, and will probably lose her ACA plan because of the cuts making premiums go up. If her kids lose medicaid, I don't know what she'll do, 2 see specialists...
We read this once, twice.. thrice. Not being American, we can’t be particular upset by the Hatch Act. What’s upsetting, is that they seem oblivious to their own hatred. Why would “mothers, babies, and the most vulnerable among us” be divorced from “illegal aliens” a mere two lines above it? 1/3

This is why I can’t full throated say I’m an abolitionist. Like 90% of the carceral system should be destroyed but *some* of these motherfuckers don’t need to be playing outside.
Wow this white dude really just came into a courtroom on an order of protection case (not mine) and told the judge he's going to hit his partner as much as he wants because she's his property.

The judge told him to stop, read him his rights, and then he told the judge to stop being woke. 😶

I had several aunts and uncles that I was not related to by blood. My kids do, as well. I am an aunt to my best friends kids, and she is to mine. Biology does not define family.

Our new health insurance premium feels more like a shakedown‼️

Thank you, @politicsgirl.bsky.social , for sharing your story. You’re right—there are millions like you.

Our new premium is over $3K/month for a family of three. Could we scrape it together? Maybe. Should we have to? No.

Okay, that's called Florida KidCare in Florida.
Florida KidCare is an insurance plan, similar to Medicaid, but that requires a monthly payment.

In Florida, it's called KidCare, and that was $520/ per month for my two teenage boys. That wasn't for my 20 year old daughter or myself. Obama care was $500/month just for me.
Mine just absorbs light into the void of fur... his name is Abyss
My cats tore my door frames up doing this. I found basically sticky carpet pads on Amazon that I put on my walls and they stopped. Pic for tax.

I already can't afford the $500+ for premiums, so I just don't have any. My kids don't either. I make decent money, but I'm spending thousands on groceries, and that's shopping sales, not eating out or buying steak.
