To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

They fired every Black woman at Teen Vogue and every trans staffer. It is astonishing watching the American media ecosystem just falling like dominoes, bowing its knees to fascism.

When you see Mamdani looking all normal doing normal person things—petting bodega cats, riding public transport—you realize just how bizarre and estranged our average candidate for public office is. Rich martians in flesh suits

If you want a perfect example of the aging up of YA fiction to appeal to adult readers at the exclusion of teen readers, it's getting rid of any references to the specific ages of the teen characters in the Six of Crows duology.

I don't see a lot of people talking about this, so I want to highlight something GOOD Billie Eilish stood in a room full of billionaires and said "you're billionaires... Why?" She donated 11.5 MILLION DOLLARS to food equity and climate orgs, which Stephen Colbert announced to said billionaires.

With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.

The New York Post is owned by Lachlan Murdoch, solely because his daddy bought it and passed it on to him. And it's backing Andrew Cuomo, a meathead whose whole career in politics stems from his daddy being good at it. But *Mamdani* is the nepo baby, because his mom was a filmmaker? Sure.

people are saying now is the time to donate to your local food bank, and that’s absolutely true, but in addition to that, now’s the time to, if you can afford it, find one or more people you know who rely on these benefits and simply cover their grocery bills
