Last Saturday my little community raised $10,000 for Feeding America, which they turn into 100,000 meals. I run a meme account and have done more for the hungry in this country than the president, who is intentionally starving women and children for no reason.

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP.

A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify.

I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?
This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education.

America’s children deserve better than this.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

No one signs up for the National Guard thinking, “One day, I’ll invade Oregon.”

INBOX: The Chicago News Guild joined others in suing ICE for attacking journalists at the Broadview facility.

There’s just not enough attention being paid to how unqualified, psychologically unfit, and dangerous so many of these new ICE hires potentially are.

If we had a Congress, there’d be investigations & oversight into this.

Draw something badly with no intention of showing it to anyone. It's very freeing.
Favorite headline of the last two days.

“Trump blasts judge who blocked Portland troop deployment, saying she ‘ought to be ashamed of himself’”

Tune in next week for the fall of empires jettisoned by equal parts raging dementia and white supremacy.
What if Americans just paid attention to their own home towns and volunteered in their communities to the same tune that they sit on couches watching sports and Fox News? We might get somewhere. #americanpolitics are a cesspool and marginalized people pay the price. #wakeup
It’s really too bad that half of the country is too stubborn and emotionally immature to move this country out of this spiral. I wish someone would just litter the streets with shadow journals and mushrooms.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

“I never thought federal officers could behave this way. I really didn’t,” she said. “I always thought people must be provoking them or something, that they would never do this unprovoked. Obviously, I was wrong.”

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Federal judge temporarily blocks the Trump administration from deploying the National Guard in Portland, Oregon.
How does one sit quietly right now? Unbothered by children led out of doors in the night without proper clothes because they were (peacefully) sleeping. Until the tentacles of this hideous authoritarian regime on the behalf of Christian nationalism reached them. How are you unbothered?

About 400 people of all ages and races turned out to protest in Portland, including families with children and retirees with walkers. As people chanted in front of the ICE building, a large group of federal officers moved into the crowd and pushed some protesters.
