How I became a #MutualAid snack stop for kids:
In late 2022, I was COVID-conscious (just like now) and put out snacks for Xmas for all of the delivery people. I noticed they were taking a LOT of stuff but I shut it down in January 2023. But in 2023, "somebody" started sneaking around....

Two months ago we were paying all federal workers, SNAP benefits were fully funded, and people could afford their health insurance premiums but a small group of Democratic senators have Stockholm Syndrome and are telling us we have to Sophie’s choice one or two of these things.

Unsurprisingly the 7 Dems and 1 Independent (Angus King) that caved to R's to reopen the Fed Govt, NONE are up for re-election In 2026.
Imo, this is a very calculated cave tto R's refusal to negotiate ACA subsidies by Dem Senate leadership.
Your thoughts?

If this swollen lymph node doesn't resolve by next weekend I have to go see my primary care doctor. I'm not sick. My rheumatologist said to give it a week or so on the meds I just started

The Biden Administration reduced the COVID isolation guidelines from 10 days to 5 (when many are infectious for 14 days) because of a letter from the CEO of JetBlue. Fauci defended this decision as "preserving societal function." Sure didn't help anyone who went on to be disabled by Long COVID!
Maybe important to note it was the disruption in air travel that Democrats couldn't stand and not, you know, 40+ million people not knowing where their next meal was coming from.

My morning has been spent unloading in Cory Booker and Andy Kim's inboxes. Highly recommend you do the same with your senators for a little catharsis.
Call your congressperson too and demand that they come out against the deal and demand new leadership. They all need to feel the heat. They all need to know Schumer is a dead man walking. 202-224-3121

Senator Schumer is no longer effective and should be replaced. If you can’t lead the fight to stop healthcare premiums from skyrocketing for Americans, what will you fight for?

So would my brother. My parents declared bankruptcy when we were young due to his medical bills (with insurance). He could have never gotten his own insurance prior to the ACA. His body would shut down pretty quickly without his daily medications.
I would literally be dead without the ACA. Many people don't understand. I just wouldn't have been able to get insurance with pre-existing conditions. Being officially diagnosed w/ something was misery sentence, bc once diagnosed, it wasn't going to be covered in the future

The thing about ACA is that if an American describes how it works to someone from literally anywhere else, the other person will be utterly horrified at its deliberate cruelty.
The way the horror of pre-ACA healthcare sounds to an American, is basically how ACA sounds to everyone else on earth.

Being poor is a full-time job. People go to multiple pantries; they have to find transportation, they have to have $ to take that transportation, they don't have money to eat food while out all day waiting in line to get food, and sometimes the line runs out of food!

To the people who prioritize efficiency & their own convenience over the needs of people receiving SNAP, think again. Think abt those of us on SNAP going to multiple pantries, farmers markets, free fridges to get sort-of what we need while our ability to eat is restricted and debated publicly
