There were many times SNAP and WIC fed me in early childhood. My mom was always working.

If so many more people need it now, that tells you something about salaries, not work ethic.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people?

Does anyone work anymore?"

I present to you the sea bunny, a type of sea slug known for impersonating a bunny to fool predators (at least that's what I assume.) #Invertober2025

Ink and watercolor drawing of a tiny white sea slug, with spots of black and feathery appendages that present a vague resemblance to a rabbit.

Someone want to tell Mikey here that 86% of all SNAP benefits go to households that include a child, an elderly person, or a person with disabilities?

Or that almost 40% of SNAP recipients are children?

And that Whites account for 37% of SNAP recipients?

"[T]he [US] right now is putting Black people in jail cells at six times the rate of South Africa at the height of apartheid. We are putting... human beings in jail at about six times the rate of other comparable countries and six times the rate of [the US] historical average [prior to] about 1980."

A new film exposes how Houston’s Harris County Jail has seen at least 15 deaths in pretrial detention this year amid chronic neglect and an “unconstitutional” cash bail system that jails people for poverty and mental illness.

ACLU reporting that “several of the 6 women detained at South Louisiana ICE Center in Basile, LA, & Stewart Detention Center in Lumpkin, GA were pregnant & have miscarried while in custody.”

0 outrage from MAGAs about these fetuses. They were never about life. They are only about control of women.

A leaked CPAC press memo shows the “Third Term Project” hosting a Feb. 20 event titled “The Case for Presidential Tenure Reform.”

They’re openly arguing for a constitutional amendment to let Trump serve up to three terms; citing “unfinished business” and “continuity.”

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Guillermo del Toro quote "...think about wealth for me for example. A wealthy man that has enough..."

"not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite somebody to beer..."

"...you're rich. If you have, whatever-"

"- yachts and planes and islands and you STILL need more? You're not rich."

"Andy Ngo and other far right extremists have been targeting Avalos since at least as early as July and trying to paint her as violent and a 'member of Antifa.' On court record, Ngo has admitted that his social media posts can lead to violence."

It's projection from the right. All the way down.

1/4 of your population is on SNAP, which means come next week, 1/4 of your population can't feed themselves. just immediate localised great depression

I am losing my gd mind seeing the number of people on here who are so doompilled that they cannot imagine that telling millions of people, including tons of MAGAs, that they’re out of food money and they also can’t have health insurance anymore might have any effect whatsoever on anything

Since SNAP benefits are gone next month and the new ACA enrollment hikes also start to reveal themselves to consumers... it's wild to think that both programs are tilted towards states AND demographics that favored Trump in '24

Because Hine & Carlson, if no herd immunity, the disease spreads & mutates & then the people that took the vaccine are no longer protected because the mutation can now circumvent the original vaccine

& 9 times out of 10, the mutated vaccine is more contagious and more deadly than the original

Not everyone can take a vaccine, and also anyone who doesn’t continues to breed variants that our vaccine won’t be enough to protect us from, so we need to get developing and taking more. Plus, you know, it’s bad when we get sick even if we don’t die, and bad when other people die for no reason
