Trans rights are human rights. I will not sit by and watch trans people be forced to hide because of this horrible administration's bigotry!

Call your elected officials.
Make it clear that you expect them to support trans rights.

worth applying to politics as well. when you're criticizing an action people take "taking the better action next time" is only one of the alternatives people will consider, and worth remembering that "not bothering at all" is another.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people?

Does anyone work anymore?"

Someone want to tell Mikey here that 86% of all SNAP benefits go to households that include a child, an elderly person, or a person with disabilities?

Or that almost 40% of SNAP recipients are children?

And that Whites account for 37% of SNAP recipients?

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.

Churches, charities & family are not a substitute for SNAP

They can help but they’re not accessible to everyone

They can’t scale up to support an influx of 42 million people

The government could easily fund SNAP, they’re choosing not to

They’re choosing to let people starve

The United States is now simply good vs evil.

What’s fucked up is how many people are on evil’s side.

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.

I will not be voting in the primary for him, as he's not a friend to trans people or the homeless.

The UK's King Charles hasn't destroyed an entire wing of Buckingham Palace or tried to shake the government down for an extra $230,000,000—because he knows he lacks the authority. AND HE'S A REAL KING.

Flights to Lis Angeles International Airport are being canceled due to a shortage of air traffic controllers. That's Trump making America great.
