“even the most radically progressives among us, need to get over the delusion that many of the inequities in our world can be addressed without money. Saying that MLK didn’t have corporate money is ridiculous and inaccurate.”
Love our Mayor!!
Solidarity with the Jewish community, because I feel this every time I see a pride flag in my very Conservative town I live in. Minorities exist and we will continue to exist, and we need to stand together against the bigots who want us gone.
I wish all who celebrate a Happy Hanukkah. 🕎
“give multi-year general operating dollars (MYGOD), fund faster, give more, remove barriers they impose on nonprofits —do what conservative funders have been doing for decades for their grantees. Get over these paternalistic, condescending philosophies and assumptions and act like true partners.”

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage
Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage
Mitch McConnell & Chuck Schumer will always be remembered as US history’s two most effective Senators in getting things done for the Republican Party.
Republicans can't meet their own budget target without cutting Medicare or Medicaid, budget office says The House GOP has ordered the Energy and Commerce Committee, which oversees Medicare and Medicaid funding, to cut $880 billion in a bill to advance Trump's agenda.

Not everything has to be said in sweeping generalizations.
Agree with the spirit of this but I also think about things like reconstructive surgery for cancer survivors. Still gender affirming care. Still nobody's business what they do with their body.
Ahem ... Is this on?

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu at the House hearing on sanctuary cities:
"If you wanted to make us safe, pass gun reforms. Stop cutting Medicaid. Stop cutting cancer research. Stop cutting funds for veterans. That is what will make our cities safe."

“debating whether a payout rate should increase to 6% or 10% is entirely missing the discussion we should be having: What does it take to halt and reverse the US’ (and the world’s) rapid descent into fascism?”
