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.

Don't know if anyone else is having elections right now, but if you are make sure your voice is heard.

I don't care who you are. It is a privilege to be able to vote and a hefty responsibility to vote.

1. outrageous and offensive

2. speaking as someone who's spent eight years running an organization with a very clear rule that "when the primary's over we get behind the winner, no matter what", I do not think centrist Democrats understand the pandora's box they are unleashing with this bullshit
Daniel Goldman went onto CNN earlier *TODAY* and said

1) He isn't sure if he'll vote for Andrew Cuomo
2) And that he won't endorse Mamdani because Mamdnai has not done enough condemnations of anti-Israel violence

People exit a quieting carnival. A couple walk hand in hand, when one suddenly collapses. His partner tries to wake him. Our view shifts up toward the carnival. The words "Happy Scare Carnival" flicker in the lantern light.

New week & with it new hope.

Realized this weekend we've (USA) been in bad places. Segregation, Great Depression, Red Scare. I wonder how the future looked then. Granted it's dire today, but no matter what I'll have hope because without it there can't be a tomorrow.

You want to know one of the worst things is? Going to grab a string cheese snack and realizing they f******* sealed the peel section down so now you have to use scissors or letter opener or something to get it open.

Because I posted about this originally I feel responsible to share the follow-up.

#Inkarnate has officially stated it will not allow AI into their marketplace. My trust is a little shaken but I am happy they did listen in the end.

nervous about calls? let me assure you how easy it is 💘💪😤

1. you will most likely go to voicemail. leave your name, city/zip
2. if a clerk picks up, they are always friendly
3. say "i am against cutting federal funding for gender affirming care". you do not need to justify it
4. done! 💘

So #Inkarnate is actively announcing they are making a shift into generative AI on their Discord

My heart is actively breaking. Really didn't need anymore bad news, especially in a place I normally find so much joy. I'd recommend people voice their concerns

Game designers should be designing mechanics that don’t just match the theme of their games but also automatically rewards the right behaviors to create the gameplay loop that they want.

The solution right now is not saying “move to Mastodon, to Pillowfort, use Picarto galleries” etc, bc that won't stop this silent escalation of censorship and sexual repression on the internet. The issue is not which platform we choose, but rather raising our voices against what is happening.
