I'm always very open about the fact that I received SNAP benefits and Medicaid for a bit after I fled my abusive husband with my little kid in tow. I used it to help me start over in a new state and go back to school to get my BA. I now have a PhD.
SNAP benefits saved my life.

Don’t blame them at all, totally understandable. Disgusting this is happening. Where is the justice when you have a traitor in the White House?

New developments in my 3 year Epstein investigation, this time regarding JP Morgan Chase and its CEO, Jamie Dimon. This is a long thread, but worth sticking around for.

Trump using a Chinese* excavator to destroy the White House is a bit on the nose as metaphors go.

*Volvo is owned by Geely Holding, a Chinese company.

Apparently this is the boogeyman that Trump is saying was at the No Kings protest. It is a Hamas member, in LGBTQ garb and has a unicorn hat.

I joined the "human banner" at San Francisco's Ocean Beach. This flag was at the center. It was a gorgeous day with enormous waves. #nokings

The image is taken from an angle, and you can see the ocean tilting 30 degrees in the distance, with a huge crowd in front of it. In the foreground, you can see the giant American flag that is being held up by hundreds of protesters clustered around its edges.

This is the human banner from the air. It's sign made from masses of people standing together to form letters. It reads "No Kings Yes on 50." There is an American flag in the middle and a thick border around the banner. (Prop 50 is a California state proposition to gerrymander the state to create more blue districts, in order to combat the Texas law that gerrymanders their state to create more red districts.)

Nonviolent public protests can generate dramatic changes in public opinion and, ultimately, in public awareness and public policy as well. The civil rights movement managed to topple what @mariajstephan.bsky.social calls "white supremacist authoritarianism." #NoKings www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Opinion | Republicans' attacks on 'No Kings' protests reek of desperation

Republicans’ fictional portrait is part of a strategy to stop the resistance before it flexes its growing power.
