look I know being an engaged citizen IS the work of democracy but it is also the work of elected officials not to create situations where everyone has to be mobilized all the time to prevent them from allowing some kind of Dickensian horror on a Sunday night while you're in between loads of laundry

It struck me the other day that there's a reason that Zohran Mamdani's celebrity in New York is so arresting. All kinds of famous people live in and visit the city, and for the most part, even when they're recognized, they are left alone or fully ignored.

Although this will fry thanksgiving travel/dinner headcount for those of us who can still afford to celebrate, it may almost be worth it to watch the incredible amount of shit Trump will eat for this.

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."
