I know all old people look back on their youth and think their time was better than the present but the 90's/early 00's were infinitely better than this and no one can convince me otherwise.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

I feel like I'm living in that episode of Midnight Burger where half the world is in a universe with a comet hurtling towards them and half is in a universe where there is not. At first each denies the other's reality until they realize their universes overlap and both experiences are real.

She is one celebrity I have never heard a single bad thing about and I personally have been touched by her kindness. Thanks to her book club my son receives a free book in the mail every month as do many others. I sincerely pray she gets better. Lights like hers are the ones we need most right now.

"my child could make this" are they making it though? as in, do you let them? are they allowed to pursue art and the joy it provides? are they creating? its so hard to create nowadays. is your child given the abundance of freedom that creativity offers, or are they stifled by your judgemental mind?

I always think of this quote (from They Knew by Sarah Kendzior) when people say this. "'nobody saw it coming' is an admission of whom the speaker considers to be nobody"
Text from "They Knew" by Sarah Kendzior:

As I wrote in Hiding in Plain Sight, the oft-recited claim that
"nobody saw it coming" is an admission of whom the speaker considers to be nobody. In the United States, "nobody" historically included women, immigrants, poor people, and anyone who is not white. People dismissed as nobody are those most likely to be affected by a terrible situation and therefore the most likely to warn about it in advance. "Somebody" is a similarly convoluted category. For centuries, to be somebody in the United States meant to be a wealthy white man or to be treated like one. This idea of "somebody" is baked into the founding of the country, in which only white male landowners were granted the right to vote. White, land-owning men who deviated from the establishment were often punished for their efforts: castigated as troublemakers or conspiracy theorists. The goal was to reduce them, at least in their ability to gain institutional support, to the status of "nobody."

Weird thing where people say “no one could have predicted it” when really what they mean is their political commitments and orientation were such that they ignored everyone who was predicting it Sorry but “no one could have“ and you having your head stuck up your ass are two different situations

I know we keep focusing on Colbert and Kimmel as we should, but we also need to remember there are hundreds of people who work for these shows who also just lost their jobs because of this bullshit, and most of them are probably not millionaires.

I've lost count of the number of children who have been shot and killed in this country but I'm supposed to cry over the assassination of a guy that literally said their deaths were necessary? I think not. Sounds like divine justice to me. He got exactly what he asked for, verbatim.
