Last month I got into a car accident. Today I am hit with a big bill to pay for the damages that I simply do not have the money for. Please donate or share if you can so I can make it through this month. I'm hoping to raise $1500 but any amount helps!

Good movie. Good dog. Appreciate how the horror elements track narratively but the perspective isn’t broken by a concrete explanation as that’s only something humans would understand. We catch snippets of conversations, enough for context, but tone and volume are most important.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Not a dime to any incumbent Democrat Senator who does not call for Schumer to resign as leader. (Which will mean not a dime to practically all of them.)
