There is nothing in there about paying family members to be caregivers. That seems to a connection being made that is not explicitly part of what Kamala proposed. It doesn’t matter. It’s not a big deal. I just thought I missed something. 

 

ETA: WRT to family caregivers, here is Trump's proposal to provide a tax credit to family caregivers:

That would be awesome if he follows through with it. Fingers crossed

Just saw your first statement. It is already policy to allow family members to be paid for providing skilled home care, so I would assume it would apply to any expanded coverage, especially coverage of unskilled care.

A federal judge in Texas on Thursday ruled against a Biden administration program for undocumented immigrants married to U.S. citizens.

Why it matters: The ruling means roughly 500,000 people who lack legal status but are married to a citizen will have a longer process to get a green card. The program, called "Keeping Families Together," would also have benefited stepchildren of U.S. citizens by creating an easier path to citizenship.

Do y’all realize how paternalistic you sound when you spout off shit like this. Using the language of your party, it reeks of white privilege and what a British colonial officer would say at a garden party talking about the natives 100 years ago. We are stupid, like children in your eyes, because we don’t choose the candidates that YOU want us to choose. It’s telling that the fear porn nightmare stories are emanating from white liberals - the ones that most have to lose in your fan fiction AREN’T BUYING IT. You fuckers will NEVER HAVE my support, I’d rather be purged by a future MAGA revolutionary council than live under a Kamala Harris Presidency. I’ll gladly take the unknown future with death by firing squad by MAGA than have the continuation of the past 4 years. Get it now. FIN.

I was talking with a couple of progressive Black business people yesterday (2 men, 1 woman).

Referring to the people here on this board, I said that I felt like white progressives were going to pull back from the fight against the revanchist movement in America.

One of them said that "White people are used to scoring TDs on every drive. Went they don't score, it's like the game is lost. Black people have been sacked, a lot. We know that you sometimes have to punt, play D, and come back on the next drive with some new plays."

The woman said she's worried about the same. But she said she's hopefully that after the initial pain wears off, this will reawaken why they're in the fight.

This is a good post.

I work in an 3 person office with two guys with 100% VA disability ratings.  They both voted for Trump and were all smiles Wednesday morning.  Pop Corn GIF by WWE

yeah.

so my niece was texting and calling me Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, she actually said 'i need an adult to talk to!'... and i felt terrible bc i literally could not, i was a blubbering mess myself and was popping xanax and gummies to just check out for a bit...

so she ended up calling my boomer husband and that was honestly the best thing bc as he put it, he was able to give her some 'black man that lived thru jim crow and civil rights era' perspective.

it helped. her and me.

im also reminded of Dave Chapelle hosting SNL right after 2016 election and basically laughing at all the white folk being so shocked lol.

It’s not quite the level of  “he committed to oklahoma freakshow. Not that he lives in oklahoma, and I am the idoit”.  But we know you’ve got it in you.

Keep reaching for the stars. I, for one, appreciate your bit.

 Very true. Hopefully most of us will reengage when the time comes but for now fuck it, fuck all of it. There’s not much to do for 18 months but cringe and wince and hope the worst he promised doesn’t happen.

After Biden won, I gave up watching pundit shows.

It's been wonderful.

You voted for Trump (I assume), a tremendous bullshitter. Because he's a bullshitter, does that mean everyone is a bullshitter? Do you constantly lie in your everyday life?

The conversation I had was tremendously banal. What makes it seem embellished?

The next 18 months is when you show up in your community to prove that you're there help, not just get the vote.

@Sawbonz

Jumping into this conversation late.

Problem with tax credits is that disability drains families' ability to earn so they don't make enough money to really benefit from tax breaks.

If this has been covered, lo siento.
