Your ability to eat should not depend on your productivity
Your ability to get healthcare should not depend on your productivity
Your ability to get housing should not depend on your productivity
Saying “be more productive!” To those who are struggling devalues human life.
It aids fascism.

Republicans' budget scheme is a death sentence for rural hospitals and maternal care.
Cutting Medicaid will devastate already-strained healthcare systems, leaving pregnant women and new moms without access to life-saving care.
Does that make America great?

I wish more people understood that grants aren’t handouts. They are payments for services the government can’t provide without contracting with nonprofits & universities. We are out here doing the work of keeping people safe and the country functioning. The government needs us. The country needs us.

The post office is not a business! It is a service. What is the “business model” for the police, military, FBI, judicial system…? Govt services don’t “lose” money, they are funded. USPS charges for stamps/shipping to offset costs and this is misused for comparison with for profit businesses
I know a lot of postal workers and all they ever tell me is how understaffed every post office and route is
