Under President Trump’s “big, beautiful bill,” food stamp applicants are fighting to prove eligibility and facing questions about birthday gifts sent over Zelle. A crisis in Arizona offers a warning for America.

Rx Kids provides $1500 during pregnancy + $500/mo for a year to every new mom and baby in Flint. Turns out it has reduced child maltreatment allegations by 32%. This same impact has been observed in Alaska thanks to their small annual UBI. If you want to reduce child abuse, do universal basic income

UNIVERSAL basic income? But why should we include Elon Musk? Because by including everyone, including Elon, universal programs become seen as RIGHTS. A program for only the poor will always be weaker than a universal one and will always exclude a great many of the poorest that universality reaches.

Just signed the AI Pledge for Humanity. The next time someone says AI will require UBI without doing anything about it, send them this. actionnetwork.org/petitions/th...

sometimes being Autistic means that everything on the menu has 1-2 dealbreaker ingredients on it and the mental calculus involved in deciding which thing to order is overwhelming and you order off the kids meal instead but then you feel bad for some reason & give a 75% tip to apologize to the server

Unlike the US media, international media are saying it like it is. The US is a global pariah:

Congratulations to all the Hungarians who rejected hate, censorship, corruption and a Putin puppet! ...and a big TY to the furniture-molester for his help.

Sounds like ICE

Very true...

The only possible way of making sure EVERYONE benefits from AI is UNIVERSAL basic income as a productivity dividend. And the entire point of AI is to reduce the need for human labor, not to make work more interesting. The purpose of my dishwasher is not to make doing the dishes more interesting.

My kitty cat had a really rough day. We just got home from spending 6 hours at the pet emergency room for a bladder stone. 😢

Cat gets his groove on....😂😂😂

‘Another institutional abuse’: UK survivor of Irish mother and baby home can’t afford to accept compensation

Another example of what means-tested welfare does that universal basic income never does.

Funny how Hungary, a former communist country, holds it's election on a Sunday, whereas in the US, it's always on a Tuesday Almost as they make it harder to vote here 🤔

The more I think about the 70,000 ICE incarcerated without due process the more I think we are underreacting. People are literally trapped inside for profit prisons. We need to do something.

This article doesn't mention the part about how having a universal basic income would mean fewer people becoming homeless in the first place, which is kind of important to reducing homelessness.

Boyle: The situation is bad. It’s getting worse. And we have a president who, frankly, only cares about putting his signature on currency, illegally etching it onto the Kennedy Center, and building his big, beautiful ballroom—and frankly couldn’t give a shit about the American people.

Swalwell: "I want to knock out this argument we even need ICE doing what they're doing in the first place. If they are so easily moved from our streets, where they are terrorizing people, to passing out bottles of water in the airport, did we really need them terrorizing people in the first place?"

President Volodymyr Zelensky has been formally nominated for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize. Hide the ketchup.

I went to an Italian funeral on Staten Island. The repast “appetizer” (!) was meatballs, eggplant rollatini, shrimp scampi, mussels marinara and clams casino; this was followed by garlic bread, salad caprese, pasta al la vodka, THEN AN ENTREE (chicken, potatoes, veggies), cake and coffee
