There is a book out called “The Sin of Empathy,” which is written by a white Christian nationalist cult leader out in Idaho. The idea that the left is “weaponizing empathy against Christians” is an EXTREMELY popular & growing sentiment being bolstered by the church. And we all need to be aware of it

Yes, defend SNAP, but making econometric arguments about it saving other costs or increasing productivity is losing the plot.
As Elaine Brown said, "Because we are so used to the capitalist construct, it doesn’t occur to us that we have a human right to eat; because if you don’t eat you will die."

One of my formative memories was wandering around the cemetery after my grandfather's funeral looking at the dates on the headstones, and noticing that when I got back before the '60s that almost every couple had a kid that didn't grow up.
I asked why.
"Vaccines," I was told.

Schneider was born in 1963.
Pretty sure that childhood diseases like measles and rubella (just for a start) were definitely around.

Do you remember the last album/CD/cassette you brought home and listened to while reading along with the lyrics in the liner notes before the age of digital downloads? For me it was U2’s _How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb_ (2004) #music

For the first time in history, DSA has 80,000 members in good standing! Tens of thousands of new members have joined the last year alone. In the face of rising fascism, a US-backed genocide, and an escalating climate crisis, socialism is the only path forward. 1/3
