It's killing me how American elite discourse is entirely post-material while millions of America's working class are about to lose SNAP benefits. I don't know how the reaction to this will play out, but it's likely to be uglier than any of us would want.

If you ever wonder what it looks like when the media decides to give scandal coverage, the New York Times ran 45 stories about Hillary’s emails just in the month of March 2015 — more than 18 months before the election.

They could easily do that about just the White House destruction if they wanted

Press who got years out of Hillary’s emails deciding amongst themselves that people aren’t all that interested in the White House destruction (and every other example of Trump breaking laws and norms.)

I need to say this. The fascist PRETEND they don't know who receives SNAP in the U.S. They actually do know and they lie because they need to paint an alternate reality of who is "benefiting"

For Natives in more rural areas, there are food distribution centers for commodities which low-income Natives rely on because they are situated in food deserts. These centers will also NOT be distributing food, so this isn't just a scatter of individuals in need but entire communities.

NEW: The Kavanaugh stop, 50 days later. "What a sick world."

I asked Justice Brett Kavanaugh about his September 8 concurrence and the reality that has followed. Because he should be asked. He, unsurprisingly, did not respond.

Today, at Law Dork:

It's this simple.

Anyone mocking those who will starve without essential food assistance, that is the SNAP program, is a piece of shit human being.

Many things went on at Unseen University and, regrettably, teaching had to be one of them. The faculty had long ago confronted this fact and had perfected various devices for avoiding it. But this was perfectly all right because, to be fair, so had the students.

NHC warnings for Jamaica and Haiti are *dire*. Jamaica might get up to 40 INCHES of rain. Melissa is now up to 140 mph winds.

www.nhc.noaa.gov/graphics_at3...

1. Jamaica: Seek shelter now. Damaging winds and heavy rainfall today and Monday will cause catastrophic and life-threatening flash flooding and numerous landslides before potentially devastating winds arrive Monday night and Tuesday morning. Extensive infrastructural damage, long-duration power and communication outages, and isolation of communities are expected. Life-threatening storm surge is likely along portions of the southern coast Monday night and
Tuesday morning.

2. Haiti: Catastrophic and life-threatening flash flooding and landslides are expected across southwestern Haiti through midweek, likely causing extensive infrastructural damage and isolation of communities. Although winds are temporarily decreasing on the Tiburon peninsula, they could increase again across much of western Haiti on Tuesday.

During the shutdown, Trump could find $40 billion to bail out Argentina & $300 million for a ballroom to host dinner parties with billionaires, but he won’t tap emergency funds to prevent millions of American kids from going hungry?

How cruel is that?
