Well. After 2 months of NOTHING, I have SNAP again. But only $60/month instead of the previous $300.

AND after 13 YEARS, my partner's work decided they weren't needed anymore.

SO I'm going to set up weekly "please feed me" goals 😭 I shouldn't have to rely on strangers for food, but here we are.

This band walks the walk. @dropkickmurphys.com lead singer Ken Casey drove an ambulance to Ukraine and recorded this single from a studio in Kyiv.

Somehow, I got thrown in on backup vocals. I dare you not to feel something watching this.

"Who'll Stand With Us?"
New single by @dropkickmurphys.com just dropped. Helluva Veterans Day tribute, filmed IN UKRAINE. Watch and share. And BZ to all who wore the uniform—and who still stand for freedom.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

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.

It might be too late, but write your reps and demand they oppose this deal. Yes, the shutdown needs to end. But not at the expense of our healthcare. Or simply delaying another shutdown.

And to be VERY clear: this is NOT the reason Trump is sending in troops. The troops are there to HELP the kidnappers.

In my political escapades, I've somehow become subscribed to "Patriotic Millionaires" and I will say: you can be a Millionaire and still have a soul. (Billionaires, however...)

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

It doesn't have to be this way.

^ unashamed Democratic Socialist.
Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

Socialism is what the fascist cry when the people want their tax dollars used to make life better for the working class.
