I still don’t know how some people are going to make it without the $2k/mo checks coming in. The eerie, almost surreal silence around it now is the sound of people’s hope turned into despair turned into fury turned into hopelessness turned into resignation turned into tears.

I haven’t had income since the end of December and am awaiting my states unemployment to get back to me (they offer no phone number so I’m just at their mercy). Stimulus was the only hope on the horizon I had. And I say this knowing there’s many worse off than me.

We can no longer manage a nation of 330 million people this way. Regardless of political party in office, the whole thing was designed to work slowly and deliberately with plenty of debate, in a much simpler bygone age. It is no match for the demands of our modern world.

Unbelievable that this hasn’t happened yet. The discussions surrounding further targeting the checks are without merit & the continued political gaming is craven. Get the Checks Out!

most importantly, I provide the economic case for near-universal checks. we must accept the fact that most Americans remain in crisis and Congress must do more.

Did you not see this coming when you asked us to vote for Biden? Because we told you this is what was coming. My hope is that you see the democrats for exactly what they are: evil. Not lesser.

It's time for general work strikes, tax strikes and loan strikes.

We need to be armed (DHS blackbagging citizens while letting terrorists storm Michigan capitol and DC show this). We need to form local mutual aid networks. And we need to be showing up on the front lawns of our state reps/governors/congresscritters daily until they work for us.

Many people won't. Disproportionally high number will be POC; and both administrations seem to have completely abandoned the disabled community. One example in MD where to get a #covid one is required to go through a drive through including my friend who is blind & does not drive
