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.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

💡 I'm looking forward to contributing to next week's Science for Society webinar all about the science of stress and stress management!

Join us for an overview of best practices in stress measurement, the evidence base for stress management interventions, and critical research on weight stigma.
Join @ryanlinnbrown.bsky.social, David Creswell, and A. Janet Tomiyama on July 23 for a new webinar!

Learn more about what distinguishes toxic stress from manageable challenges, how #stress manifests differently across cultures & life stages, and which interventions are backed by evidence.

Hey everyone,

Been quiet about this, but I had to give up my home of 13 years this week. Can’t go back to work until August & between moving expenses, medical bills & car repairs, I’m out of money. I need help to get by the next 2 months & be able to report.

Donation links below. Anything helps.

Just got a tip that citizens, including pregnant women and minors, are still being kettled and processed by SFPD. This was after they tried to follow SFPD orders to disperse and got kettled anyway.

As if SFPD doesn’t have enough lawsuits to worry about, now they’re mass arresting protestors. As in 2020, very few if any charges will even stick.
I've walked around to the other side of the detainment. It looks like SFPD actually plans to arrest everyone and has asked for everyone under 18 years of age to form a line first.

Hello #SRCD friends. I have a student who is a dual citizen of Canada and Turkey and was planning to attend SRCD. She was so excited to have two posters accepted! But she and I both are worried about her crossing the border. Is anyone else thinking along these lines?

stress links with EARLIER MOLAR ERUPTION in children. this finding makes so much sense in the broader landscape of accelerated pubertal timing, etc, but i'm still baffled by it. Big study, big data, compelling.
