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.

People are only ever
Going to meet you

Sparks and dark clouds
spar over his forlorn spirit
He knows what it takes to be alive
He knows what it means to fall into wander
He smiles when he feels the need to
Yet the melancholy will linger on

And will continually linger on

She draws the red curtains
Seeing only her bloodline’s survival
As muskets fire on command

Trump just called for a *permanent* displacement of Gazans from their homeland.
