Also, consider adopting a family to help get them through--fresh produce can be expensive and supplementing 1 family can make a big difference.

A moment of silence, please, for the "young men are all MAGA now" narrative.

Not to get ahead of myself, but I am enjoying the probable blue wave.

Open enrollment for ACA healthcare plans has started, and enrollees are seeing what their premium costs will be next year.

Without subsidies, one couple will see their monthly costs increase from $495 to $2,168 — a 300% increase.

This is what Democrats are fighting to prevent.

In California, the DOJ has deployed poll monitors in Los Angeles, Orange, Kern, Riverside, and Fresno Counties. In New Jersey, they’re stationed in Passaic County. Don’t let these voter intimidation tactics by the Trump administration stop you from voting.

The story behind Because The Night, written by Patti Smith about Fred “Sonic” Smith is one of my all time favs in music history.

I will not except this rebranding. Yes, this was the right thing to say, but it came too late.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): "If this is what they're doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities... what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?"

Nice long life. But come on with the stupid euphemisms, "a 5-year-old boy who was the product of their mother’s relationship with Mr. Banks" --what you is his son.

I continue to wonder when Americans will decide enough is enough. As Frederick Douglass reminds us:

“The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

I’ve been thinking a lot about a new kind of polling I’d like to see. We have polling that measures public opinion, which is obviously important, but I’d love to see a little more empirical work on public knowledge: what do voters know about politics and policy?

Two federal prosecutors were placed on leave after seeking a stiff sentence for a Jan. 6 defendant who had been granted clemency and later appeared armed outside the home of former President Barack Obama.

Or maybe you lack empathy? What did people do in rural AK island towns? They paid 4-10x the price to have things barged up there because you can't even fucking drive to a store.
You clearly mislabeled your handle "Justice for all".

Kat Herine @h2o2kat.bsky.social · 6d

No, it is not. It is divisive. It is intentionally punching down and thoughtless at best. No one is saying anyone get's a pass on fascism, but there are other ways for the poor to contribute to fighting fascism. There are people in rural places like Alaska who have no other ways to get goods.

Yes, one must consider all the costs, and some can afford to make that change, but some people really CANNOT afford to stop using Amazon. Don't shame poor folks.
