Them: “I’m sick of subsidizing their groceries when mine cost so much” SNAP does not drive up grocery prices. That would be inflation, tariffs & corporate greed. For every $1 spent on SNAP there’s a $1.50 going back into the economy. While you’re blaming the poor, the rich are robbing everyone.

I’m a social worker. I got many more people signing up for local thanksgiving baskets this year.

Personally, I feel that he should be more concerned about the federal government shut down and Americans not getting SNAP and Americans being able to afford access to healthcare…

Now would be a great time for nationalized health insurance.

Get ready for healthcare insurance premiums to skyrocket 114% more in 2026 if Congress doesn’t prevent it. My husband and I won’t have healthcare insurance. We cannot pay almost $1800 a month for a premium on insurance. I’m sure many of you will be facing the same problem.

We've become the monsters we used to hunt. At least two of the men released from CECOT needed help getting off the plane and were put in wheelchairs because of the physical torture they endured. DOJ actions. And the evangelicals cheer for this.

I knew from a young age that I didn't have a lot of opportunities - that's why I joined the Marine Corps. And after 3 tours in Iraq, I know running for office isn't going to kill me. Our democracy is being torn down in front of our eyes. We can’t afford to settle for the status quo!

Lots of people are about to be really mad that price of eggs goes up but they can’t get a 2nd job because they can’t afford childcare and when they do finally get the eggs they get E Coli because there’s no FDA but can’t go to the doctor because they got kicked off their health plan. #FAFO

Yep, the for profit insurance companies are not working in the best interest of the people paying for the insurance. Can we switch to Universal Healthcare instead?

Another federal court calls out Government request to release grand jury transcripts as a "diversion." "The Government's 100,000 pages of Epstein files and materials dwarf the 70 odd pages of Epstein grand jury materials." Real transparency: DOJ can release the Epstein files.

Novo Nordisk’s move to cut the price of Ozempic to $499 for the uninsured is a modest step forward, but let’s not forget. Ozempic costs just $59 in Germany while it costs less than $5 to make. The U.S. must no longer pay the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs.

Novo Halves Ozempic Price to $499 a Month for Those Paying Cash
Novo Nordisk A/S is slashing the cost of Ozempic for cash-paying patients after the diabetes shot became the poster child for high US drug prices.

A post by Tim Dawson, quoted as follows.

Lot of negativity toward AI lately, but consider:

Are the tools ethical or environmentally sustainable? No.

*but* do they enable great things that people want? Also no.

*but* are they being made by well meaning people for good reasons? Once again, no.

Maybe you're not being negative *enough*

“Who’s going to pay for universal healthcare, affordable housing & social supports? You???” This is always asked as a gotcha. As though the person expects me to recoil and say of course not. The answer is Yes. I would happily pay my fair share to ensure everyone is cared for.

Today we learned Andrew Cuomo is directly coordinating with Donald Trump, even as this President sends masked agents to rip our neighbors off the streets and guts the social services so many New Yorkers rely on. It’s disqualifying and a betrayal of our city.

If they aren’t working, there’s usually a reason. It’s hard to get disability. I think everyone should have access to healthcare. If these people seek healthcare in the ER, the ER still has to save their life. If they can’t pay, that hospital may not survive. People deserve to be able to live.
