Stop falling for the trap of latching on to the price of an item (eggs, beef…) as the message. The issue is affordability. From 2001-2023 wages failed to keep up with rising costs. Medical premiums rose 301% Travel expenses were up 170%. Rent grew by 131%. The cost of raising children grew by 107%.

ICYMI: 9,000 Philadelphia city workers are on strike for the first time in 40 years as they fight for better pay, benefits, and more. These workers provide essential services for their communities day in and day out. Philadelphia doesn’t run without them. Solidarity!

New rule: no criticizing the way others choose to resist unless you have a better, actionable idea and kind, constructive feedback. New ideas are good! Performative contrarianism is useless.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Republicans are still trying to pass their Big Betrayal Bill. 
They held the previous vote open for hours—and STILL don’t have their shit together. Maybe the problem isn’t the vote count. Maybe it’s the bill. You can hold the vote open all night…trash is still trash.
