Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.
A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.
When will party leadership learn this lesson?

Kinda having trouble feeling THAT bad for the MAGAs realizing killing snap includes them. They didn't think their taxes should go to feeding people who can't afford to eat. But now that they can't afford to eat they think they should be entitled to YOUR tax money.

It's interesting that wise conservative business guys implicitly understand "return on investment" except when it comes to this. It's better for YOU if your neighbor gets enough to eat so he can become your community's mechanic, accountant, dentist--whatever!--instead of lying dead in a ditch
The welfare state is about dignity, equality, and making people not poor, but as @itsafronomics.bsky.social says/cites here, it’s often also an investment that more than pays for itself
Why should you 🫵🏿 care about SNAP? SNAP recipients saw:
- Improved life expectancy
- Lower chance of incarceration
- Lowers chance of poverty
- Lived in better neighborhoods
- Higher human capital
SNAP keeps our neighbors fed, communities safer, and kids educated. Also people are HUNGRY. DUH!

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.
That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.
Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

You know what’s weird as he was going to fit the bill of this ballroom by himself he said he would be the donor. Funny how the amount that he’s suing the government over is the exact amount he needs to complete his ballroom so he’s suing the American people to pay for his ballroom

What people who make the "slippery slope" argument with LGBT need to understand is there is a very clear line. It's consent. Children can't consent and animals can't consent so pedophilia and zoophilia don't make the cut. 2 consenting gay men getting married is consensual so it's ok. This isn't hard

Many hundreds of people were out protesting in my sleepy corner of the burbs, in fact there were four demonstrations along a roughly five mile stretch of road going through three towns you've never heard of.
So that's pretty cool. And pretty good.

Cruelty was always the point
BREAKING: Georgia Public Broadcasting reports ICE has confirmed it will reopen a controversial detention center in Irwin County.
The center was closed in 2021 amid allegations of medical abuse, such as forcibly sterilizing migrant women.

On top of detaining U.S. citizens, ICE is now fining legal residents for not carrying their papers.
It was never about going after the “worst of the worst.” It was always about cruelty.

Insane. Trump declared a fake emergency which directly caused a real emergency
Los Angeles has just declared a state of emergency.
Not because of wildfires. Not because of riots. But because of an invasion by federal government troops.
We can see where this is going.
