Things are feeling uncertain & weird. Past due bills from summer are due and food stamps is expected to be cut off Nov 1 due to the government shutdown. I only have 2.5 weeks left as a long-term substitute teacher, so I’m about to take a pay cut as I return to daily sub jobs. 🫩

It is important to remember that GOOD things can happen quickly too ❤️

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.

Reposting with Alt-text:

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

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.
