Food for thought: how extreme would the ratio (of people in genuine need to fraudsters) have to be, to change your position on SNAP?

(Note that most Republicans don't actually support ending SNAP, and there are 15 Republican Senators supporting Hawley's proposal to fund it during this shutdown.)
Democrats will feed 100 people in fear that one of them might starve Republicans will starve 100 people in fear that one of them might not deserve food

Reshared from Garrett Wilkes.
Picture of a human hand petting a black cat, with the words: Musk is wrong. The weakness of Western Civilization is not empathy. Rather, our weakness is greed, cruelty, ignorance, and indifference.

Photo by "Christianity without the Insanity". Quote by Rabbi Irwin Keller.

See this prayer in context, along with one for after reading the news, at his website: www.irwinkeller.com/itzikswell/2...
The image shows a small candle, with the following text. A prayer before reading the news: (Written by Rabbi Irwin Keller in early 2016) Elohai neshamah shenatata bi tehorah hi. My God, the soul you have placed in me is pure and vulnerable. I am afraid that looking at today’s news will be painful. Encircle me in a robe of light so that I can witness the wounds of the world without being wounded myself. Let me learn what I need to know in order to be of my greatest use, without being overwhelmed by despair. I feel your protective light now as I open myself to the world’s suffering and the world’s joys.

My own screenshot. Not that this is particularly surprising, just a continuation of what we have seen in the past.
