$2 trillion in tax cuts for the top 1%
paid for by
- 243,265 of my neighbors losing Medicaid, including 84,922 children and 28,000 seniors
- 121,000 of my neighbors losing SNAP
- 13,000 people with ACA coverage seeing a 105% premium increase

So today, I'm boycotting, not giving billionaires a dime.

Trump’s second coming can’t be understood without turning our gaze outward, toward a broader geography of U.S. state violence.

So, we know the creep cabal has no regard for facts - even when delivered through an independent entity. But. As a non-fed, I found this report on government agency efficiency enlightening. Spoiler: #USAID is highly efficient.

YOUR HELP NEEDED:

I'm a @nytimes.com reporter writing about nonprofits.

Hi, I am @motherjones.com' disability reporter. In the following weeks, I am very interested in hearing how tariff nonsense impacts getting your meds and medical equipment. My email to get in touch is jmetraux@motherjones.com. Reposts appreciated.

...have been trying to update 'robber barron' for these 21st century techie oligarchs. Thought I was onto something with lootocrat, but now all I can think about is *the* Luda, and how he doesn't deserve to be in this mess.

What do you think?

A little light for these dark(ening?) days - the Hudson Valley Foundation for Youth Health awarded $75K in grants this year. Each invested in the well-being of young people in the community. Here's to #philanthropy moving $ where it's needed in 2025!

5 years of covid + still grief.

“We’ll be reciting the Mourner’s Kaddish at 1-"

“Of course, anything,” I answered.

20 minutes to brush up on the language I never learned, reflecting the faith I never ascribed to. But yes. Anything meant anything for my lifelong friend and her now-departed sister.

Writers - can we come up with a better way to call out the 'elephant in the room'? I regard the rituals and lunacy of elephants much too highly to invoke their name IRT the orange fuhrer. Thx

OK, not a paid gig and not a major byline - but stoked my letter to the editor is raising awareness. HR 9495 is a menace to #nonprofits, would let Treasury kill orgs for 'supporting terrorism' without proof or due process. The fight has already begun, don't wait for January. Call your reps!

As I (we?) rebuild community here on Bluesky it feels important to (re?)introduce myself. I'm a queer writer who shares urgent personal essays in service to others. To date that mostly looks like work stories - like my viral, 'best of' piece on work addiction for Salon: www.salon.com/2021/09/04/t...

Ya know, it just feels like the only reasonable place to (re)start.
