I just had a necessary car repair go from $50 to $400.
I primarily crowdfund for health issues with Sickle Cell and Long Covid. I have a list of monthly supplements that help me manage pain daily and keep me out of the hospital.

I saw this video talking about how people with v honed pattern recognition start to disengage a bit from society because people are telling them they can’t see what they clearly can see. And then when they’re proven right, it’s like people have an attitude about you saying what was obvious

One of the most dangerous fictions that neoliberal economics has introduced to the collective discourse is that money, when spent, evaporates. Money MOVES through the economy. It's not a consumable object; it's a unit of economic force enacting change and exerting pressure on society. We've measured
I think I saw this on tiktok but someone said, "you may not need medicaid, but your local hospital does"
In a waiting room, and this lady chatting w/ the receiptionist is doing a great job explaining the actual impact of the DOGE cuts: *everyone* at her office laid off, what kinds of programs they do & who they help (kids), what's happening w the injunction. These personal stories need more attention!

The problem isn’t just that so much is acutely terrible.
It’s that so much is terrible…but bills are still due…and work is still scarce…and healthcare is still poor…and taxes still accrue…and the heat is still too hot with dehydration too intense…and hurricane season still started…and and and…

I can’t shop in person. universal healthcare won’t change that.
I can’t go across town immediately to help friends in an emergency. universal healthcare won’t charge that.

Yeah I think the missing link here is universal healthcare.
Disabled people do have higher costs of living, because healthcare is expensive and coverage is often patchy.
Universal healthcare does away with that cost imbalance.

Los Angeles, CA -
You heard it here first folks. Protesters ran into an apartment building were initially detained, but were let in by residents of the apartment building and then were sheltered by residents in the building. LAPD has given up on the detainments and are gone now.

Ppl applying “no snitching” to that case sound like people who think by virtue of being Black you’re in a gang or org. That never applied to “everyone” in “all contexts.” The contexts…be real specific. It’s weird crime fan fiction going on in these digital streets by ppl who never been in real ones.
