Same here. Half our income. Bills going late or partially-paid. My spouse still having to work (and work OVERTIME) for no money.
And we were happy to muddle through, because the cause was worth it.
Absolutely disgusted with Senate Dems.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.
We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.
We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Shaheen: So let me be clear. No one in the senate chamber wants to extend the ACA tax credits more than I do.

Trust the scientific process. Science by its nature is dynamic, always discovering new knowledge. Rather than simply trusting science, we want to trust the scientific process, and sometimes the path of discovery is steep and windy and full of switchbacks.

People who are dismissing these protests are missing the courage required for folks to show up to a #nokings event in small, rural, predominantly Republican communities. These people spend a lot of social capital to show up with signs and it’s really, really inspiring.
I sometimes see people dismissing the No Kings protests as performative.
Protesting *is* inherently performative. It's unity in the face of injustice, to inspire more people to notice and join. That leads to change.
It *is* brave to protest under a government that attacks dissenting speech.

A university that signs the “compact” is one that acknowledges its own inability to compete and succeed based talent and merit. It would signal insecurity and mediocrity to current and future students and faculty. Say no. Recruit the best people, protect their freedom and support their hard work.
