Let the doors be shut upon him, that he may play the fool no where but in ’s own house.

Not only is it going to be a hunger crisis, it's going to be a farm crisis. All those gallons of milk bought from dairy farmers, all the produce, all the on sale ground beef and packs of chicken that are paid for by SNAP are subsidies to farmers who don't qualify for commodities subsidies.

there are a bunch of smart people correctly saying that we can’t replace SNAP with food banks, and that’s true, because we can’t replace SNAP with anything that doesn’t basically look like SNAP, and we certainly can’t do it in a week

Starving can cause chronic illness and disabilities.

Malnutrition is not to be trifled with.

Cutting off SNAP funding will cause people to suffer. Some will get ill. Some may die.

If you push yourself to your limits and burn out for a company, you are trading years of your future productivity for minor gains in the present.

Burning out will _fuck you up_, it's like brain fog or depression, and it takes years to recover

When I was in Nicaragua an Indigenous activist said to me “Indigenous Peoples can’t trust the left or the right. Both sides will try to steal our land and kill us.” I always think about her words.

Today is Disabled Day of Mourning, to honor disabled people killed by caregivers. Fellow journalists, when we write about these situations, we need to clearly call it murder, and not through a"poor caregiver" lens.

So they really just went with "you break it, you buy it" as a governing philosophy?

Bison should be allowed to roam free and cattle should be restricted to private land.
