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.

An easy way to determine if something is going to make me miserable in a shirt is if the model is holding it away from their neck. Always a nope from me. I can't stand so much as a mock turtleneck. Feels like I'm being strangled.

There’s $5 billion sitting in SNAP reserves right now. The money’s there. The Administration just decided feeding families matters less than bailing out Argentina.

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high. SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”. Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers. People need & deserve assistance Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich Be mad about that

Everything in this thread is enraging. Do better, doctors and researchers. Do better.

I don’t know how many times I have to say this but if you didn’t know any geek girls in high school or you don’t know any now it’s because they didn’t trust you and you’re *NOT A SAFE PERSON* for women to be themselves around.

its remarkable to see random suburbanites in their fucking PJs have more courage than the vast majority of america's political, social, and civil elites

Food banks need money if you’ve got it. For everything else, contact them and ask—some can take donated meat by hunters or eggs from backyard flocks, some can’t.

The Jays have the chance to do the funniest thing Canada has done since 1814

Many disabled people couldn’t attend No Kings because of accessibility and/or safety issues. ICE has a history of targeting and abusing the disabled … because we’re easy targets The Nazi’s did the same. Called us “useless eaters” Tested the gas chambers on us Disability justice is anti fascist!

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

Trump just used the shutdown to wipe out the special ed department. www.usatoday.com/story/news/e...

Happy #NationalComingOutDay! To all my fellow beloved queers and wherever you are on your journey, I love you. (If you are not supportive of trans people, fix that yesterday.)

It's always good to see priests who still remember there are *seven* Catholic social principles. Also, that noise you hear is the USCCB screeching to the Vatican and getting back nothing, lol

Mamdani promises to deploy *hundreds* if lawyers to fight for trans rights, create a new office of LGBTQ affairs, and allocate millions of dollars to fund housing and healthcare for trans kids and adults This is what fighting back looks like--elevating activists to materually support trans people.

Just a reminder, the layoffs in govt were just done out of spite, not necessity

Exodus 8:2 "If you refuse to let them go, I will send a plague of frogs on your whole country."

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

A functional government that cared about its citizens would do something to address this exploding problem (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/10/07/m...

The Douglass Community Land Trust was born from Ward 8 residents’ efforts to ensure D.C.’s first elevated public park would actually benefit existing residents and businesses. Today, they're creating permanent affordability and “pay-it-forward” homeownership to protect longtime D.C. residents.

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%. Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Tom Homan took a $50000 bribe on camera and hasn't been charged with a damn thing. Wonder why

Let’s call a lie a lie, shall we?

It’s 100% time to gird your loins and get your head ready to fight any government that tries to bail this out when it pops. This isn’t the banks, which are essential to everyone’s well-being. It’s not even a railroad or an insurance company, where failure would harm a subset. This isn’t essential.

"I am now living in hiding with the help of my sister. I am seeking a way out of the country as soon as possible for the sake of my life."

dear lord, i've seen what you've done for others

I forgot to go to an event I paid for and just found out it was canceled and I am getting a refund. Amazing.

Just a reminder that a staggering number of Black women have also lost their jobs due to capitulation to this administration. That deserves more outrage.

It was heartening to see all the folks lining up to get their flu and covid shots today. Like they had multiple stations across multiple locations and they were all poppin'. The nurses did give a hilarious lil corpo speech about how they care even if the cdc doesn't.

Also, my first time at the New Parkway! Definitely not going to be my last! A very Dropout aligned place to watch Dropout adjacent content!

… so she has integrity. I think this is so shocking to us on socials because we spend so much time watching the “serious” adults with platforms justify talking to Nazis while erasing POC for access So they can’t believe the women in mouse ears would go” NOPE” at the first sign not the last

So um. This is what's been up with me for the last year. I hate hate hate asking but very much appreciate your support. www.gofundme.com/f/fund-me-if...

meanwhile costco was all “DEI is good and we’re keeping it, fuck you” and they’re now basically printing money

this is the second impeachable offense worse than watergate that we have read about *today*

The reaction Disney fans are having makes think maybe the Harry Potter fans are just bigots who don’t care after all.

Stoked to have seen @izball.bsky.social's Dead @ New Parkway in Oakland. They were like "we got a lot of emails but a lot were copy pasted so we weren't sure, but then we posted 1 show & sold a lot of tickets, so we'll add shows as long as folks are showing up like this." The house was pretty full.

This was because said dev made a joke about if the shooter's name was Mario. Because, y'know. Mario and Luigi. Extremely tame stuff. But they fired an employee at the behest of a Twitter mob THAT WAS ALREADY BOYCOTTING THEIR GAME. The same mob that was harassing the star of their game. Dumbfucks.

BREAKING: Luigi Mangione's lawyers have filed a motion to dismiss his case on constitutional grounds. Some arguments are specific to his case, involving AG Bondi's actions, while others are more generally applicable. Law Dork earlier covered the underlying conduct: www.lawdork.com/p/luigi-mang...

Given that they’re not doing anything effective anyway, I still think house Dems should be filing impeachment articles every single day.

MY GOD, I HAVE A NEW HERO. SHE HAD THEM SO HOOKED AND THEN BAM, SHE ATE THEM, BONES AND ALL.

This rules lmao

Getting the yard fenced in today. The puppers will be so happy to be able to safely be in the yard.

This would make it illegal for any site that has trans content--not just porn, but everything from trans people posting selfies to essays to comics and stories featuring trans characters--illegal in the state. You've seen how fast the Age Restriction shit spread. Don't pretend this isn't possible

you don’t understand bro, if we didn’t lie, no one would buy our product 😩

FOX news host suggests we euthanize the homeless, someone goes into two encampments and starts shooting. 13 people shot and Jacob Frey and the media are just talking about it as the new best reason to clear the encampments

Asking for an author’s book at a library is a wonderful thing to do. The library buys the book, maybe even multiple copies, which really does help authors. A simple request can spread a lot of good around. Also I just love libraries and I’m always happy when someone checks out one of my books. 📚

Please don't forget, and don't let anyone else forget, they did this openly.

they’re going to invent a way to actually hospitalize people with fentanyl exposure if it kills them
