GOP closing arguments were:
1.) Haitians are eating your cats
2.) Puerto Rico is a shithole
3.) Peanut the squirrel will be avenged

Naturally, the media accused Kamala of being light on policy.
trump just stood on stage and swayed for 45 minutes. he was probably having a medical emergency in front of a half empty arena, and just… nobody said anything about it. i think there might be more to the story, other than kamala wasn’t pro israel enough lol

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP.

A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify.

I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

This is fucking nasty work and I’m sick of it.

There’s no actual desire to care about safety for the people targeted by him

Just a screed on why we are “need to do our own research”

Because a white man decided it’s okay

We’re not being lied to

i just need people to know it's not hypocrisy when Devout Christian Mike Johnson cuts off SNAP benefits. it's not a lack of "christian charity" to make kids starve; it's because the christian right wants to control who gets food, through churches, so they can deny queers and sluts at will

I grew up as a pastor's kid in an evangelical church and we had a food bank and I can assure you that no one they would think was a "drug addict" (ie nonwhite, visibly poor, queer etc) was ever gonna get access to that pantry

I cannot tell you how many tech journalists at prominent media organizations do not understand this
Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

This. This. This. @kenmartin.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social: take note. You organize not by pandering to some mythical center, but by meeting people's needs. This has to be about what people do for each other. Not what your pollsters and consultants advise. Get to work.

A few people hoarding all the resources is not sound economic policy 😕

What's missing isn't supply,
it's solidarity.

Hard to tell a nuanced story of pregnancy and parenting at this moment, when the most powerful people in the country talk paternalistically and coercively about whether women are having enough children, when their vision of a family is narrow and cruel. But I tried.
