Order now to get yours by Christ the King Sunday. Jesus obliterated our conception of what it means to rule. Never again should we accept authoritarian leadership. This design shows people the mark of a true leader, one who engenders liberation amongst its people. jusfaith.com/product/no-k...

Tim Kaine is probably the most prominent elected official talking about the very real threat and struggle of long COVID and he just consigned millions to being screwed with ACA subsidies expiring.
Sen. Kaine on his vote for funding deal
“I got the first good night's sleep last night that I've gotten since Oct. 1, because I wasn't worried about being able to look Capitol Police in the eye when I walked in, or what a furloughed federal worker would say to me at church”

I just got blocked by someone who disagreed with me and honestly it feels good. This is what makes Bluesky a bit better than the competition.

The blueprint for winning big on climate also came out last night. No more technocratic, policy wonk approaches. People showed they care about utility bills, free buses, affordable housing, etc. These are all climate issues. Talk about climate in terms people understand and experience.

AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…

Long Covid Friends, I created this mantra to help me apply some positive vibes (cognitive behavior therapy techniques) to my daily routine. Feel free to use parts of this to make your own. Doing this practice seems to lift a weight off my shoulders.

May I recommend a podcast called 'When we all get to Heaven" which is about MCC San Francisco, which follows how a gay church got through the AIDS crisis. It includes tape recordings from the church at the time and is incredibly moving.

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

dickerson is one of the best broadcast journalists in the game, and someone who would clearly be a real asset to a new leader interested in strengthening the network's journalism. but, of course, we know weiss isn't actually interested in journalism as such.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.
Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:
* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled
* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages
