kids don't work. these children need what they need now. we're obligated to see that their needs are met because they are human beings and we have to — it's not optional — honor their human dignity. where human dignity is least obvious, it's most important to make a fuss about it — PolitiTweet.org

who would win? 2,000 years of christian political writing or one guy who doesn't remember the minister ever saying "hardball fiscal negotiations" at easter services — PolitiTweet.org

nyuk hyuk hey goofy consider this: the NT is a map of moral parameters not a listicle about precisely what actions to take in every era. if you want to live justly you're going to have to use that lump three feet above your ass — PolitiTweet.org

we could change this if we wanted to — extremely rich country! — but fuck it, we've got wine to drink and bikes to ride man! out left party is just not there yet on that budget item, just not vibing with it! it's bullying to apply pressure otherwise! anybody got a corkscrew?! — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

welcome to the USA! we've got babies who wind up in emergency rooms with high fevers because they develop blistering diaper rash that breaks the skin and allows bacteria from their own feces to infect their bloodstreams, because their parents are too poor to buy enough diapers. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

when trump became president people said, "now this country is an embarrassment on the national stage." this is equally embarrassing: that members of our furthest left political party consider cash aid to the poorest parents and children to be a negotiable element of the budget. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

and no, the answer isn't some ad hoc diaper stamps program hocked by huggies lobbyists. these parents — some of the poorest people in the country, who don't even file taxes — need *cash* and they can't wait on it. the expanded CTC is critical. it's so critical. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

these families need help and we have the capacity to give it to them — we're doing it now! the help is dramatically increasing children's quality of life. there are babies whose mothers can't afford to change their diapers as often as is healthy. it doesn't have to be that way! — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

jesus wasn't calm about people setting out to make life harder for poor people, especially poor children. if you're in favor of retaining the expanded child tax credit, i don't care what your shtick is and i support you on that point. if you're against it, i don't like that. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

if she fucks this up so many poor people, many of them children whose lives very briefly improved thanks to the covid-expanded child tax credit, will suffer. they will suffer in very predictable, very long-term ways we know all about thanks to welfare reform. tee hee toodles tho — PolitiTweet.org
