Friends! With the looming SNAP cutoff, I'm also going to do this -- send me a food bank donation receipt and I'll match up to $500.
Alright, team Bluesky: US foodbanks are about to have staggering demand when SNAP ends Nov 1st. We need to help them prepare.

I'll match donations: DM or reply with a receipt showing your own donation to a food bank of your choice, and I'll donate to match, up to a total of $500. 💪🥗🍲🥚🥧🥪🥣🥛

ALSO ALSO if your area has a community action agency they are HEAVILY dependent on state and federal grants and are feeling the heat right now - in addition to food services, they do everything from homeless services to early childhood education to energy assistance and more.
heartily co-signed. go support your local food banks, food pantries, and mutual aid organizations instead of starting new ones!

Folks in need already know about these orgs and will go there first seeking help rather than looking for something new.

you can find your Feeding America food bank here:

70% of working age SNAP recipients work full time. The companies should pay them a living wage! SNAP is corporate welfare.

Ireland elects an independent, socialist woman to the position of president.

Irish Media: ‘Today, we ask what went wrong with the system, what her opponents have to say about it, and how it can be fixed for next time.’

“Do you really expect Mamdani to get everything he’s promising done?”

No. I’m sure a lot of what I want won’t happen. But I’m ready for someone who’s willing to actually fucking try rather than tell everyone why trying is pointless and must be saved for an undefined later moment

I’ve never donated to Wikipedia before but I set up a small monthly donation as a fuck you to the world’s richest psychopath.

Unfortunately that’s a lot of capitalist mainstream dems’ solution too. Our moderate left is still right of center.

The reality is that it’s up to us to take means into our own hands. We keep us safe, we feed our neighbors, we protect each other, and we have to elect people who have that mindset.

Take a lesson from the Black Panthers who understood how to feed people
If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net
GOOD.

Usually I’m incredibly uninterested in pride regarding home location—but right now I’m pretty damn proud to be a New Yorker. Sometimes it takes us a while for most of us to get the right idea, but when we get loud, we stay loud.

Tax the damn rich, Kathleen.

Exactly, as a New Yorker I see zero downsides to this 🥰

this is something that individual members of Congress could do tomorrow. The government is shut down so they could use their district offices. I suggested in January that they turn those offices into full on community centers where people could find each other re: mutual aid etc...

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.
As billionaire oligarchs continue to eat us alive while 42 million people face losing the basic SNAP benefits that help feed their families—that’s 1 in 8 Americans btw—if you see ANYONE stealing food and supplies from a corporate box or grocery store, NO YOU FUCKING DIDN’T. #SNAP #GovernmentShutdown

the whole article could have just been ten pages of “Brilliant Things Eleanor O’Brien Said,” and some gold was left on the cutting room floor, but this is such a banger of a closer and it’s so very much the theme of today

there’s quite literally no purpose in continuing to pay taxes if they’re going to weaponize them against a majority of people paying them like this
NEW: White House announces it's going to pause, and potentially cancel, $11 billion in infrastructure funding (via the Army Corps of Engineers), specifically citing cities, like New York, represented or led by Democrats. More to come.
