If the GOP doesn’t want tax dollars going to food, healthcare, housing, ed, SS, veterans’ care, housing, research, science, art, infrastructure, transit, childcare, the environment, public broadcasting, diplomacy, regulatory agencies, or job training… WTF are we paying them for?
Food banks would gladly take these as donations, as people look there for their pets' food as well as for their human family members.
How is your original comment helpful?

Nobody here is getting anything new from you that they don't already see for themselves, Captain Obvious.
Condolences on your lack of reading comprehension. But do go off on your tirade fighting against what I never said. 🙄
Excellent news re: SNAP program, albeit at the 11th hour. Looking forward to seeing a strong swift follow-up by the courts to ensure that canks follows through.
It's defeatist when your comment appears to accept fascism as being here to stay, with no indication of any sense of resistance at all.
What?!? Hochul, you shock and disappoint me with that blatant subservience to wealthy donors while pretending it's to "help" the middle class. This is not the way.

Remember when Texas Dems broke quorum & in response TX AG Paxton & Gov Abbot demanded their arrest & removal from office?

Under Speaker Johnson, Congress has been in session only 12 of last 100 days, absent since Sept 19, & he still won't swear in Rep-elect Grijalva.

Rules for thee but not for me.
Yes, words do matter. So use them appropriately & correctly. The 1st step is to understand what they actually mean. As long as you cling to the idea that socialism is some kind of dirty word, it's a nonstarter.

I've no interest in continuing this, but I hope you're able to study more history.
You're so close to getting it. Yet, a near miss is still a miss. And a costly one at that.

With SNAP on the verge of running out of money, a critical reminder that people who rely on food stamps make far healthier grocery choices than most of us do.
People on food stamps make healthier grocery decisions than most of us
Which is why we shouldn't tell them what to buy.

😭 or hoping I'd wake up from what surely must be a horrible nightmare
Where r dose ears? Were they not waterproof?? 😅 Or is he still pleading humbly for a bath exemption?
Oh I misread; that was your warning before you get fined😅

Still hoping to read suggestions for written guidelines on acceptable plastics to store-drop. Speaking w/ local Recology helped but I still want a site to reference when I have questions. He said that plastic ziplock bags are okay!
Thanks for this PSA! Seems harsh to fine people for noncompliance unless they are repeat offenders despite previous warnings.

Speaking of "store-drop only" plastic bags, on my to-do list is to look up exactly which plastic packaging is acceptable. Any website recs? It may vary by location but IDKFS

Socialist policies are immensely popular (even among Republicans if you don't label a policy "socialist")

But the Democratic party hates truly socialist Democrats. More than it likes winning or standing up for democracy.

It won't get behind Zohran
No. Democratic socialists are not for "unfettered socialism." This is reminiscent of decades-old Red Scare tactics. It's antiquated.

Which aspects of socialism do you think people object to? Keep in mind that economic models are distinct from government models. Many people confuse & conflate them.
🤷🏻‍♀️ what exactly do you believe is being screamed here? There's not so much as an exclamation point.

Somebody made a graph.🎉 With no source, no reference to data, or any other mark of credibility. Surveys require skill & effort to not write questions in a leading way. It's actually quite a challenge.
Says the authoritarian shill. It's curious how negatively you frame the *opportunity* to vote for greater affordability & giving everyone a better chance to succeed in life. These are universal needs, especially where they do not currently exist. Don't be intentionally thick.
It's official, a new template for elected officials who honor truth & honesty over toothless decorum: call a point of order to call out lies uttered at any official proceeding. It's for the liars' own good as well as ours. Adopt a 3-strike rule & a literal penalty box to contain mantrums as needed.
Ppl are done with the lies. Politeness is over. It’s time they are called out EVERY time.
True. It'll have to be independent media that fills the need.
