A lot of people are sharing articles about how to stretch your food budget or cook like our grandparents did to survive.

Our grandparents lived through the Great Depression.

If we’re having to resort to what they did… things are much worse than folks are willing to admit.

For more context on why fluoride matters, see our prior thread on one of the greatest public health achievements of the 20th century:

Utah just banned fluoride in drinking water, undoing decades of science-based public health progress.

Our boss 🧠🪱 keeps pushing his anti-fluoride crusade. FDA limits fluoride supplements for kids under 3 and low-risk older kids, citing safety concerns.

The ADA (American Dental Association) strongly disagrees: benefits outweigh risks. Rural kids face higher cavity risk and will suffer the most.
FDA restricts use of kids' fluoride supplements citing emerging health risks
The Food and Drug Administration is restricting the use of fluoride supplements used to strengthen children’s teeth.

It’s time
it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Congress is being paid

Trump is being paid

The rich folks who attended his Great Gatsby party? They’re being paid

Who’s not being paid? Federal workers. The military. TSA agents. NOAA employees

Millions are also going hungry because the billionaire president doesn’t want to fund food assistance

The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP.

They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown.

They’re refusing.

Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop.

Starvation as a policy choice.

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social responds to Trump says he's a "much better looking person" than him: "My focus is on the affordability crisis, and if the president wants to speak about grocery prices or lowering the cost of living, I'm absolutely ready to do so."

Good. Keep hammering the oligarchs and their Gatsby party. New polling out today shows 72% say the economy is in bad shape, and 61% blame Trump.
Pelosi: November 1, when people would start losing their snap benefits and what did the president do? He had a great gatsby party at mar-a-lago.

Teen Vogue has done incredible reporting on issues such as ICE, mask bans, trans rights and Palestine.

They’ve had more guts and transparency in their political reporting than most.

Hate to see this.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Drug dealers who are CAPABLE of reform will get the book thrown at them.

Meanwhile pedophiles and rapists who are INCAPABLE of reform get things like community service….

It’s clear who the aggressors are. Keep remaining nonviolent, and record EVERYTHING. All of these masked ICE thugs will be held accountable.
