“Our monthly premium is $443. It’s going up to $2224. We’re kind of in shock. Both of us have worked our whole lives.”

These are the people Burchett & @MarshaBlackburn refuse to help, even as Marge says Republicans should work with Dems to fix this. #TrumpGOPShutdown

A thing that really scares me about SNAP recipients not getting their funds next week is that there are so many vultures — Klarna, payday lenders, etc — lying in wait to take advantage of people who won’t have money for groceries but need to feed their kids.

If you want to understand “America” at this moment, ask yourself what kind of federal judge WOULDN’T block The Dictator from overriding a state’s Governor & sending that state’s National Guard to another state.

What possible excuse could that OTHER federal judge concoct?

Bonta: Just minutes before the hearing, we got word that the Texas National Guard has been federalized.

We asked the judge to issue a broad order — one that applies to every National Guard unit in every state — stating that none of them can be deployed to Oregon.

She issued that order

If, say, Louis Farrakhan was brutally murdered, I hope we would all condemn the murder.

But I am pretty sure Republicans wouldn’t be celebrating his life and legacy and insisting no one criticize anything he ever said or did.

Washington Post fires their last remaining Black opinion writer @karenattiah.bsky.social over the most benign comments in the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's murder...

Meanwhile Fox still has Brian Kilmeade who casually said all homeless people should be killed.

Its all unfair & unbalanced. Wake up.

Charlie Kirk’s quotes about Black people:

1) “Prowling Blacks go around for fun to go target white people — that’s a fact.”

2) “If I see a Black pilot, I’m gonna be like, ‘boy, I hope he is qualified.’”

3) “George Floyd was a ‘scumbag.’”

Fascism depends on scapegoating, isolation and fear. Embracing the concept that “an injury to one is an injury to all” is an essential tool to fight back.

It’s that time of year again. Back to school for the kids.

This ad should run during every NFL kickoff, every college football opener, every “Friday Night Lights.” Because school shootings are as American as football now.
