The Times recently featured Princess Sophie visiting the DRC, and then I’m fed fan edits of Prince Edward 🥴 I know I purposefully engage with a lot of monarch related content, but was still a “huh” moment

lol maybe it’s my algorithm, but doesn’t it feel like the Royal Family has to be involved in this sudden appearance of pro-Prince Edward content since booting Andrew out of the RF?

Barely heard 💩 about that branch of the family, until this week 🙃

Working & poor Americans won’t be the only ones to suffer when SNAP cuts off on November 1st. Grocery stores will suffer. Something like 25% of Walmart’s revenue comes from SNAP.

Food deserts are gonna spread when grocery stores can’t afford to stay open anymore.

Sen. Jeff Merkley has been speaking on the Senate floor since 6:20pm last night — protesting Trump and warning that "tyranny has arrived."

"Trump is shredding our Constitution. Is it okay for masked federal agents to arrest people off the street because of their skin color … Not in a free America."

There will never be enough propaganda pieces from the 1% that will convince me that being wealthy makes you unhappy. At a certain point, wealth does become obscene & no amount can fill that hole in your heart. But if you haven’t experience poverty, stfu about “money can’t buy you happiness”

The Atlantic @theatlantic.com · 1d

In some circles, a narrative has taken hold that wealthy moms are less happy and more stressed than lower-income moms. But the data tell a different story, Stephanie Murray reports:

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Have had to deal with the state government a stupid number of times before while living there. Even worked for a city for a time. I had been convinced since then that the state will do anything, but be a functioning system that helps people. & Texans eat it up cause “overreach” is their boogeyman

We already know the government of Texas is a joke, but I’m still amazed at the brainwashing they have done on to proclaim that “government is bad.”
