#GreatReads from @talmonsmith: The $600 #unemployment supplement is set to expire on July 26. If Congress cuts jobless benefits, ‘It Would Be a Disaster.’ Hear from 6 unemployed Americans on what losing $600 a week would mean to them. #ExtendUI

@talmonsmith Unfortunately, it's not just the #unemployment benefits that are expiring, but the eviction moratorium too. Millions of people are currently behind on rent, & could face #homelessness during a global pandemic.

@talmonsmith @bencasselman “When [people] can’t pay their rent, now it’s the landlord whose business is hurting. Those are all dollars that are not circulating through the economy.”

@anya1anya The Great Recession was a powerful lesson in what happens when states face large budget cuts w/o receiving help from the federal government.
Emergency federal aid closed only about 1/4 of state budget shortfalls.

@anya1anya Because emergency aid closed only about 1/4 of the budget shortfalls, states started cutting funding to K-12 schools to help comply with their balanced budget requirements.

At first, people delayed medical care for fear of catching #COVID. But as the pandemic caused staggering unemployment, medical care has become unaffordable for many. nytimes.com/2020/06/16/hea…

The ACA's insurance marketplaces are a crucial source of comprehensive health care for millions of people. But there are many who could benefit, but will remain uninsured due to inadequate financial assistance & other barriers.

And states can help too! Millions of low-income uninsured people would gain much-needed care if the remaining 15 states quickly implemented #Medicaid expansion. cbpp.org/research/healt…
I'm pretty annoyed about @Twitter ruining my #SundayRead thread yesterday, but the first words I read today were “You are the sky. Everything else – it’s just the weather" (Pema Chödrön) so... Here are some #GreatReads about #Africa & #feminism to start your week!

2019 has been my year of fear. Crippling doubt that's kept me away from @EyalaBlog for months, until a few weeks ago when I realized fear was boring. Doesn't make for an inspiring end-of-year post, but @stillSHErises says it's okay and that gives me peace.

Might just be #FOMO but with all the pics from #YearOftheReturn on my feeds, I've wondered why everyone (I follow) was posting about parties and nothing else. Then I read @AfroKwabena's take on the many opportunities #Ghana missed this year.
