I have not been able to stand the shaming posts I’ve seen from people I volunteered with in dog fostering/rescue especially when I am 99% certain they voted for this economic shit show.
We’re about to see a heartbreaking increase in pet surrenders on top of already high surrender numbers. If you can, donate pet supplies or to pet pantries.
As someone who has been on SNAP benefits in the past, what will happen Nov. 1 is that people will start diverting other funds towards groceries. They will choose to feed their families over making credit card payments, paying medical bills, car payments, etc. This is going to affect a lot of things.
As people have to shift their financial priorities with the loss of SNAP benefits, don’t forget that there will be pet food/supply needs. Colorado Pet Pantry is a a great resource if you are in need or are in a place to donate. Resources like this help keep pets out of shelters.
Our weekly Word of Thanks microgiving campaigns are pivoting, effective immediately, to feeding Coloradans in need as SNAP food benefits lapse. We'll continue this effort each week for the foreseeable future. Our first campaign kicks off on tonight's program. Details to follow.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Does no one else remember learning about Grover Cleveland having surgery on a ship so that they could hide the fact he had surgery and was anesthetized?

While I’m really glad @autonomynews.co covered all this, I wish someone would cover the “medical providers” Bella Health + Wellness from the Colorado case. I would love to know why the executive director of the Christ Medicus foundation moved from DC, where he taught at the
Buying votes bad. Buying a military? Okay.
Why wouldn’t you believe this? This happened last time there was a long shutdown too.
Actually as a published immunologist, the Diet Coke might be the one thing he doesn’t absolutely hate about me.
Do we have to ruin the few daily joys that people have left in this hellscape?
I may have snorted out my Diet Coke reading this.
I see the local news outlets are ass-kissing to justify flock cameras in our communities. Abso-fucking-lutely not.
Your threads are always amazing in a horrifying kind of way. Have you ever looked into the Christ medicus foundation and the executive director’s connections to Leonard Leo and co? And then the connections to catholic health care providers and using them for bringing cases challenging abortion laws?
Does this count as science-y enough?
I can’t wait for the end of his term.
Trump: “Some of the highest quality 24 Karat Gold used in the Oval Office and Cabinet Room of the White House. Foreign Leaders, and everyone else, “freak out” when they see the quality and beauty. Best Oval Office ever, in terms of success and look!!! President DJT”
In one breath this dipshit admits that real American people depend on gov services but then gloats about cutting those services. The cruelty.
Johnson: “While a shutdown is very damaging for real American people who depend upon government services, it can provide an opportunity to downsize the scope and the scale of government, which is something that we've all always wanted to do.”

I know we just got a ton of rain this week, but Greenwood Village has been wasting water like this ALL summer long. Badly aimer sprinklers and over watering has led to so much wasted water in the streets every single day. And can’t forget to mention watering during the heat of the day.
Teen Vogue has been one of the few bright spots in reporting over the past few years.
