“Giving money to the people” is code for cutting a check to a health savings account.
That’s not health insurance. It’s smoke in mirrors. $2K in your pocket won’t cover a fraction of a major medical need (procedure, hospitalization, ER visit).
Don’t buy the nonsense.

How do we support neighbors losing SNAP?
~1M will be affected in my state. People will be hungry & it's hard to know who needs help.
Will donate to food banks, but not all have access.
Other Ideas: help via school lunch programs, churches, or at local grocery stores?
Please share ideas.

Life on a Monday in August may seem normal enough. And yet the reality is "We have a consolidating dictatorship in our country." I so appreicate @maddow.msnbc.com describing the simple reality clearly. It does us no good to pretend it's not real. The only question is what we do about it.

This is a crisis. While I have very little confidence in this administration, I'm calling on POTUS to intervene.
No one should starve or die from disease when aid is sitting across the border.
Let all humanitarian actors get aid into Gaza. Make sure it can be delivered safely.

Corruption. Over and over in plain sight. We need to call it what it is.
That may be the umbrella term that can describe all of the chaos under one message.

I've called my senators, sent emails, voted, and joined marches. What else can we do to insist that the US govement supports #Ukraine who continues to be attacked by Russia. This is so unacceptable.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.
I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Members of Congress may feel restricted by threats or fear - I get that.
But they asked for the job and took the oath. If they can't or won't do their job (for any reason), they should quit or be replaced.
We need leaders who will rise to the moment. I stand with those who do. Thank you.
