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.

If I had explain American history in one sentence, I could do worse than "John Brown was hung for treason, but Robert E. Lee was not."
John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry began on this day in 1859.

there’s a subset of people who, if you point out something bad happening now, will basically reply “it was always like this and anyone who disagrees is just privileged.” it parades as savvy but nine times out of ten it’s just an ahistorical oversimplification.
"they've always been like this" is always a tempting savvy take but it is just not true that Republican staffers were 100 percent open Nazis back in 2004, or hell even 2014. they just weren't
there have been a lot of responses to this arguing that young Republicans were motivated by such feelings but didn't express them openly
and I think a crucial lesson of the Trump era is that there is great value in people not expressing these things openly! that's a big and decisive change!

I cannot believe people were losing their jobs for being mildly critical of Charlie Kirk and the president of the united states just went on tv and said "skill issue loser, RIP but I'm different"
Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

I don't think we'll ever get another sentence which sums up everything the New York Times embodies quite like "Some legal experts have called it a crime to summarily kill civilians".
hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.

@govofco.bsky.social your dumb tiktok isn't distracting anyone from the fact that you tried to force state employees to sell out a bunch of kids to ICE.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

I can't stop laughing at this man I'm sorry. This is the kind of shit the biggest loser in the world would say to their girlfriend about buying her flowers on Valentine's Day once, and he's doing so in an argument that started because he called her a bitch

The IQ Paradox, identified by renowned poster the Mountain Goats, states that doofuses who actually take IQ seriously and use it as a metric of anything are dumb as Hell
Unlike Nate Silver, I am a trained historian and, let me tell you, if I was reading any historical work that tried seriously to thematise IQ as an explainer, the last thing I would think of the author was that they were "competent."
Mom, come pick me up, they're coming up with the silliest possible version of the Great Man Theory of History
