I knew it was going to happen, but oh buddy... My health insurance went up 382% per paycheck for the same coverage. That's ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. Most people are getting a 20-40% increase which is also not great, but 382%?!

Wow! It’s not even close. Food banks can’t keep up with the need…

Food bank director: “It’s not… for every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There’s no way we can meet that gap.”

Three key points:
1) The admin has been planning mass firings to begin in October since February
2) The work necessary to carry out mass firings is illegal during a shutdown, violating the Antideficiency Act, which carries a criminal penalty
3) This harms America, ridding us of talent and expertise

The last 48 hours have shown why people have stopped relying on legacy journalism and have migrated to independent journalists in droves.
The benefit of legacy journalism is supposed to be “editors” and “factchecking” and they can’t even get that right in a rush to blame trans people.

Seriously, how do you not understand that Kirk was a victim of the politics he himself created?
If your politics consist of spreading guns everywhere and dehumanizing other people, eventually there will be bloodshed because people who listen to you will have guns and be dehumanizing people.

Every once in a while I tell people from other countries about how the health insurance system works in the US and they are aghast. Yesterday a guy straight up didn’t believe me when I said people can die because of not being able to afford medicine. He was sure I meant in the distant past.

ICE is actively destroying social nets by making them unsafe to use. Their operations make every support system unsafe. Public health, education, social work, etc etc. The way they operate raises the risk for crime, especially domestic violence. They keep those not in power struggling for survival.
