Day 2 of 100 days of code.
Didn't accomplish a ton today, but I did mess around a bit with my free trial of polypane and did a few more lessons from The Joy of React.

Day 1 of I guess I’m doing 100 days of code? I dunno, we’ll see where this goes.
Anyway I set up some basic static routing for my SPA using React Router. And also did a few lessons in module one of The Joy of React.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.
