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.

@durbin.senate.gov @duckworth.senate.gov if you cave it will not be forgotten. Despite what anyone is saying you have the leverage. Stay the course and do not reopen until ACA subsidies are confirmed. A promise from the GOP is worth nothing. You’ve come too far to give up now. DON’T DO IT.

Fascism has 14 early warning signs, as elucidated by fascism scholar Laurence W. Britt. In May of this year, the US exhibited "only" 12 of them, as we still lacked a censored press and fraudulent elections. We're up to 13 on the eve of election day. Because if you tell the truth, this happens.

Hey sweet thang, This is your reminder that every living thing in the world slows down during these next months. You’re not lazy cuz you’re doing less. It’s okay that the early darkness makes you tired (it’s supposed to). Humans the only ones who keep fighting against the natural patterns of life.

They gutted the Washington Post. CBS. NYT. Now Teen Vogue. The point isn't to bring in more conservatives. They've reached that saturation point. They are killing the fourth estate and buying up the social media to control the messages we see. These were all targeted to disarm the left of truth.

This is the most succinct, and accurate, summary of the battle we're fighting in America & around the world: it is feudalism vs. democracy, and feudalism is currently winning. @brockm.bsky.social captures the whole thing, and it should be required reading. www.notesfromthecircus.com/p/the-coming...

"One achievement of Mr. Jackson’s was clearly attributable to him above all: the invention of the six-string contrabass guitar — as opposed to the four-string electric bass — which introduced new range to the instrument." Anthony Jackson, Master of the Electric Bass, Is Dead at 73 (gift link):
