I saw that Susan Rice just sold all of her Netflix shares. Could mean nothing, but this is me right now, about everything.

Mehdi Hasan and one of my favorite #khivers are getting into it on twitter and I’m here for it. Hasan really needs to stop thinking he can speak for or like Black people.

I just want to know dammit. I completely agree. He needs to pick soon - it’s driving me crazy! (I’m a lurker who’d like to join in more cause no one in my real life wants to obsess over potential VP choices with me)

(I’m a lurker who’d like to join in more cause no one in my real life wants to obsess over potential VP choices with me) I keep trying to talk to DH about it and he looks at me like I have ten heads. He isn’t paying attention to any of partly bc of life (busy kid, work and studying for a board certification exam in three weeks, handling shit at home like a boss while I fall apart, etc), but also bc he’s not that interested bc he will just vote democratic anyway. It’s frustrating. I’m so glad I came here.

We put out our Biden lawn sign yesterday. It felt kind of silly seeing as we are on a cul de sac and very few people will see it. But a neighbor I’m friendly with - but never talked about politics with, just kid stuff & gardening - stopped over today after seeing it and we chatted for over an hour and really bonded. So that was cool. And our sign brings our neighborhood total to 2 Biden signs vs 1 Trump sign.

Trump's tax cut announcement is bullshit, and I'm glad that everyone online is explaining that this will affect social security funding. I just hope it makes it to the people that like fox news.

I’m so angry about this too. It sounds so nice to think oh yeah I’ll have another $100 or whatever each paycheck but HELLOO those taxes pay for essential things people need.

Also I read that the payroll tax would have to be paid back eventually so it’s incredibly misleading...if that actually happens, will we have a way to opt out of the deferral? I’d rather it stay being withdrawn than worry about owing the government later for money that should have been taken out all along.

Is there any insight as to how likely this is to go through and if there’s a way to avoid it being stopped? I’m fine with the student loan one staying extended though lol.

Nobody "needs" that stuff, Willow. They just need to make better choices and save more. Bootstraps. Gosh.

I’d rather it stay being withdrawn than worry about owing the government later for money that should have been taken out all along. Employers are likely to keep withholding from everyone’s paychecks, since they are responsible for submitting it. If it’s put on hold, they’ll want to make sure they have it on hand to submit at the end of the year. So unless we’re told it’s forgiven, I don’t think anyone will see any paycheck increase. And that’s not what’s been said so far, it has not been forgiven. So it’s just lip service, sounds nice, but won’t actually have any effect for workers.

Also this is a good read on Harris’ record as DA and AG that actually puts a lot of her experience and record in context.

The staunchest Trump supporters I know are also Social Security recipients who are very, don’t even think about taking away MY SSI, I earned it! I wonder how they will feel about this, but also, I expect they’ll find some way to blame it on the Democrats.
