I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink.

I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Hashimi: The individual I’m running against has repeatedly said he wants to close all public schools. And you know what’s really ironic? He’s an openly gay man who has also said he doesn’t support marriage equality…

And as I’ve said: I’m ready to fight for his rights, even if he’s not.

Over 7,000 Virginians joined me and President @barackobama.bsky.social in Norfolk yesterday to rally for the future of our Commonwealth.

This Tuesday, let's send a clear message: Virginians are ready for leadership who will put them first.

America’s still terrified of powerful women in politics.

It’s pure misogyny baked into the system. Add race to the mix and it’s on a whole different level of hate that most won’t even admit. Time to get over that shit!

Let’s take a step forward on Tuesday.

You are not a patriot if you have contempt for people who use SNAP benefits to eat while simultaneously not caring about a $300 million dollar ballroom, you are exactly what they molded you to be, a pawn in their game to divide us and enrich themselves. Congratulation, you lose.

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works.

I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.

Many of the propagandists of Autocracy, Inc., have learned from the mistakes of the twentieth century. They don’t offer their fellow citizens a vision of utopia, and they don’t inspire them to build a better world. Instead, they teach people to be cynical and passive, because there is no better world to build. Their goal is to persuade people to mind their own business, stay out of politics, and never hope for a democratic alternative: Our state may be corrupt, but everyone else is corrupt too. You may not like our leader, but the others are worse. You may not like our society, but at least we are strong and the democratic world is weak, degenerate, divided, dying.

Because everyone is broke! And if people aren’t broke, they’re afraid to go out unless they have to in case they get kidnapped by the government.

Economy sucks. Disney sucks. Corporate mergers suck. Understaffed concessions counters with long lines suck. $20 popcorn sucks. Ads mixed in with previews suck. Talking and texting millennials suck. Other forms of disrespectful audience behaviors suck.

The World Series did not suck.

Jesus, even as I say “soldiers” I’m thinking of people in the National Guard, and somehow feeling it necessary to clarify I do not mean the rent-a-cops with daddy issues who are ICE

Starting to think there may be negative societal consequences to filling our streets with soldiers, randomly imprisoning people, and making it so children go hungry while we all wonder whether our insurance premiums will double.
