Food bank director: “for every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There’s no way we can meet that gap.”

This is one reason im not too worried about the possibility of a third tRump term - I don't see him living long enough to serve one. Heck, I'm not convinced he'll live long enough to serve all of his *second* term.

I see that the United States' peculiar brand of Christian Nationalism includes judging the poor for needing SNAP benefits (judging is something Jesus said *not to* do) but not helping the poor with SNAP benefits (helping the poor is something Jesus told them *to* do).

And one more thing I forgot to mention, the USDA is not only holding their contingency funds for SNAP, but telling every state that if they use their own state funds to cover their SNAP benefit residents, they won't be reimbursed for it from the USDA. This is cruel, heartless & inhumane.

Gee, for some reason a lot of people are looking to establish dual citizenship in Greece these days, I wonder why that is 🤔

It's been 34 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

There’s only been one lawsuit filed against the devastating destruction of the White House.

One.

And it’s by Virginia couple, Charles and Judith Voorhees.

Not Congress, not historical (or any) institutions, but a citizen couple.

Donald Trump’s America where simply having brown skin means you’re going to be terrorized by ICE thugs, with NO warrant, while running daily errands.

Reminder:
IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE THIS WAY!

Commentary: Unless Republicans, who control Congress and the White House, re-open the government and pass a budget bill by Nov. 1 — that includes money for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Programs — more than 1.4 million Ohioans who rely on food stamps could lose a critical lifeline overnight.

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

Zohran Mamdani's promises of free busses might sound great, but I live in Albuquerque NM where city busses have been free for five years and I'm here to tell you the truth. This is what every bus in my city looks like now. Think carefully about your choice this November.

a terrifying sight, a bus where dogs have taken over, all dogs riding the bus, no humans in sight, just good boys sitting on the bus waiting for a head pat, horrifying

I've been getting a lot of questions about tattoos, so time to fess up — I have one.

I got this tattoo a few years ago as a reminder of what hope and a positive vision can do in our politics. And yes, I knew what it was when I got it.

Basically, they don't want to admit toxic masculinity is the cause of mass shootings, so they've generated this elaborate conspiracy theory that frames toxic masculinity as somehow the preventive.

It's pathetic, but also enraging because it's getting people killed.
