want to be clear there are absolutely big differences b/t Dems & GOP, don’t ascribe to all-the-same, and that said, it’s awfully telling how many high profile Dems now profess to prefer a Republican in office than a progressive and how that appears to be driven by who is closer to their values

Glad testosterone is finally making sure i have hair in the important places, like on the inside of my thighs. i wanted that so much more than facial hair. 🙃

bruh, you cannot, must not look away when they trying to sell you $31 million in police overtime (to an already bloated $230 million budget), sell you a "mysterious" $30 mil budget deficit and need for you to pony up more cash. You should be outraged. You should demand better.

Minneapolis leaders are weighing budget cuts and a possible property tax increase as the city faces a $30 million shortfall.

Some people, when thinking on a political issue, should really be asking themselves what they're working for. - Do I want the system to change, or do I just want roles within the system to be reversed? - Do I want a solution, or do I want revenge? - Do I want peace, or do I want punishment?

I remember when my "treat" for myself when I got a bonus or a little extra money was to not look at or compare prices while grocery shopping. Even tho I am making more money now, this seems like a decadant luxury. Sometimes lately, I find myself priced out of getting hot dogs.

"Buying food to eat at home has gotten 33% more expensive in U.S. cities since the beginning of 2019, according to government figures. In the 7.5 years before that, prices rose 6.4%." (via @apnews.com) apnews.com/article/groc...

Has a candidate ever turned against interests that elected them? When you vote for Craig, you are voting for crypto crime & fraud. For an endless Mideast genocide. For a better trained ICE, forever in our streets. For means-tested tax credits because "we don't have the votes". Decades of all this

I wish more people were willing to learn that just bc they dont get along with someone doesnt mean they are an asshole or unsafe

My take on the kids in the library thing is that if you want to use free, public spaces, you need to increase your tolerance of people who are unlike you and who also want to use those free, public spaces. That means children. It also means homeless people and people you think are weird-looking.

the only people who could ever earnestly support means testing are people who've never had to be means tested before. it is a humiliating, dehumanizing bureaucratic hostage negotiation with a system whose primary purpose is to *not* provide financial support as often as humanly possible

The Seattle City Council just voted 6-3 to approve Joy Hollingsworth's amendment to delay universal school lunches for kids, replacing them with vouchers for qualifying low-income parents to buy groceries over school breaks and weekends. Eddie Lin, Alexis Mercedes Rinck, and Rob Saka voted no.
