@kdurquiza The EITC is super important for low income families, but is different from the Child Tax Credit. Unlike EITC, the expanded CTC was available to families that didn't owe federal income taxes, which is why it helped so much to lift the kids out of poverty.

[Jenny @tennymo]

@kdurquiza The CTC was expanded in 2021 under Biden, as part of the American Rescue Plan, not Trump. https://t.co/MLFdMtHIHp

Remember when my twitter was basically just a @Handy hater account? Well, around that time I also helped convince SF and other cities to sue them to enforce workers rights and the company just agreed to pay $6M in a settlement. This is just the beginning!

[Public Rights Project @publicrightspro]

1/🎉Celebrating a huge win for workers’ rights today!

A San Francisco court just approved a settlement for $4.8 million for @Handy workers AND $1.2 million for the counties in civil penalties.

And that’s not all…!

Turns out access to news and information is very important to democracy, and public policy plays a critical role in ensuring that our communities have that access. Proud to support @Rebuild_News

Something I've noticed since becoming a funder is that many people are way, way nicer to me now. Still the same person! Let's try to be nice to everyone in 2023. You never know when they might come into a sh$tload of money :)

[Jenny @tennymo]

@nataliefoster i like the sound of that! :)

Kind of looks like the fake "crime wave" scare-mongering worked better on major media outlets than it did on actual voters...

It's state and local o'clock here on Election Night and as always @Taniel is the dude to follow.

Reform prosecutors have arrived in Iowa.

Graham won a tricky Democratic primary, and then prevailed today. (Of note: the outgoing Dem here took a very punitive stance during the 2020 protests.)

New: Should you keep abortion pills at home, just in case?

I wrote about "advance provision" of mifepristone and misoprostol — its safety, its legality, its politics

Xavier Lopez, just 10 years old. His mother snapped a photo of boy at honor roll ceremony only a few hours before he was shot to death at Robb Elementary School.

@bufetmastermind @juliablough @jonathanoosting No. Overturning Roe doesn’t ban abortion unless the state has pre-existing ban or puts a new one in place. It means states decide, instead of the Constitution guaranteeing our right to abortion.
