Just a reminder that a lot of the deep cuts in the budget reconciliation bill won't take affect until 2026 or 2027, because Congress wants you lulled into a false sense of "Oh, we *did* overreact after all, they didn't take away our healthcare after all, our bad" security, so they win their

“It’s more than just the physical… it caused me to leave my job and put me in a horrible financial situation. That the guilt I feel is overwhelming since my husband and I can barely pay our bills. The mental side of #chronicillness can be as difficult.” https://cme.sh/7Cb3wT #ChronicPain

Fascists "solve problems" by eliminating people - through killing and murder and "letting" people die.

No one who has Medicare or Medicaid asked for this. Republicans don't give a fuck about the old or poor. They would prefer they die so they can pocket their benefits. They are selfish, greedy bastards who are only interested in their billionaire buddies who can buy eletions.

What did people do before SNAP?”

They died.

Healthcare, vaccines, disability support, education & food assistance are vital to our survival.

They’re why the average lifespan isn’t 35 anymore

The mark of a good & decent society is whether it sees the value in helping others.

1 in 8 Americans relies on SNAP.

For every one person a food bank feeds, SNAP feeds nine.

Food banks are not prepared for the influx that’s coming when SNAP is cut off.

While the current government shutdown is only the second-longest in history, November 2025 is set to be the first time the USDA has declined to issue SNAP benefits — which one in eight Americans rely on to pay for groceries — during a shutdown.

Federally funded school lunches were instituted because 25% of draft-age men during WWII were classified 4-F due conditions related to childhood malnutrition. The GOP doesn’t like the school lunch program either
