Some colleagues and I wrote an article explaining what's wrong with congress' massive reconciliation bill being debated right now, from three different perspectives: 1) economic justice, 2) anti-militarism, and 3) immigrant rights.

We also created an action form that makes it easy for you to send your members of congress an email asking them to reject the bill.

Economic inequality and military spending are at historic highs. Nevertheless, the U.S. House of Representatives has passed a budget reconciliation proposal that would take money away from low-income people and working families and redistribute it to wealthy oligarchs and weapons companies.    This unconscionable bill would fund tax breaks for the rich, military weaponry, and detention centers. We must demand that Congress reject this proposal, along with any other bill that places greed, exclusion, and militarism above our rights to healthy food, clean water, health care, education, affordable housing, and good jobs for all.  ...Where will the money for these new benefits for the wealthy come from? Congress plans to make enormous cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and other critical programs that are relied upon by people all over the country. One estimate suggests that this bill will take $1,000 a year away from the poorest people in the U.S. while giving a shocking $390,000 to the richest 0.1%. 

Tell your member of congress to reject the reconciliation bill!

i think we've done a great job expanding the view of what a child's favorite animal can be. kids these days can say they love axolotls or pangolins or coelecanths and their decision is respected. maybe their parents can even find them a stuffed animal of it if they know where to look. and i think that's beautiful

crown jewel/stained glass jello cakes are like beautiful angels to me. it's fruity and delicious. it's retro kitsch. it's an edible example of midcentury minimalist art in every cross section.

i understand the 50s housewife appeal here. if i rolled up to the potluck with a fugly cobbler and my neighbor brought one of these i may have to end my stupid sloppy fruit life.

Courts issued a temporary stay on the government funding freeze with just minutes left before the deadline. Situation’s still very chaotic but things are on pause for now; fallout will become more obvious once the dust settles

Reminder for when he “saves” it. He was the one who wanted this, and now he gets to be the hero and win favour with young constituents. Don’t give him the credit for fixing his own problem.

I can't lie, I find it very odd that posts cautioning people against donating to individual* campaigns and promoting the idea of supporting mutual aid efforts and community kitchens in Gaza can rack up 10k+ notes--while a post promoting a community kitchen (that I can personally vouch for) struggles to get 1k notes, and has barely pulled in a couple hundred dollars over the past week.

I actively try to avoid using guilting tactics in fundraising, but this is weird to me. It's like people are using these posts as an excuse not to do things they already didn't want to do anyway, rather than actually taking their recommendations on board...

*In my experience, these campaigns often support large extended families + their neighbours

MAQMAP is a community kitchen aiming to support families in the Mawasi Al-Qarara area.
