SNAP funds will be paid in full, proving that the USDA was always capable of paying the full November benefit. Remember that the Trump admin chose to let people go hungry. They chose not to fund SNAP until a court forced their hand. They chose cruelty and pain.

I was just informed that my rent will go up 41% in January. Forty. One. Percent. Affordable housing, my hind leg.

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

Superb article; I learned about populist ressentiment (i.e. MAGA's perpetual grievance and desire to hurt their fellow citizens) and the danger it poses to democracy. Tom proposes smart solutions to turn things around and restore democracy and serious, adult governance. Thanks for the gift 🎁 link.

I’m an Autistic classically trained chef and I wrote a food aversion acceptance cookbook and guide titled COLOR TASTE TEXTURE, that’s all about finding out what works for specific sensory needs and how to customize food for them. It’s useful for all ages, no cooking experience necessary.

Jamaicans are helping Jamaicans rebuild, one meal at a time. 🇯🇲 Just hours after Hurricane Melissa cleared Jamaica, WCK partner Chef Mark Chong & his team were already hard at work supporting their neighbors. The dedication of our local partners is at the heart of this response. #ChefsForJamaica

There’s no such thing as the “genuinely disabled” Disability is dynamic Some disabilities are invisible. Some change day to day You won’t always know a person is disabled unless they tell you It’s a minority group you can join at any time, not a moral failing.

this is the best movie i've ever seen

you're never going to guess what Scream's favorite horror movie is! it's Saw. sorry, was that misleading

110% THIS

The government shutdown has put SNAP benefits at risk for millions of Americans. Travis Peters, an urban farmer in Detroit, is giving out free produce tomorrow 'If it's getting tight, my food is free. Don’t even sweat that'

Your ability to eat should not depend on your productivity Your ability to get healthcare should not depend on your productivity Your ability to get housing should not depend on your productivity Saying “be more productive!” To those who are struggling devalues human life. It aids fascism.

Starting over after we relapse or otherwise crash isn't a "failure." Trauma Brain is going to try to frame it as a "failure," but it's actually evidence of enormous maturity & commitment. So it was a sh*t day or night. Do the next right-- i.e., recovery supporting-- thing.

Reminder:

Amazon is reportedly planning to cut as many as 30,000 corporate jobs starting Tuesday

Laughing while 40 million people go hungry is a really cool way to *checks history notes* be pulled out of your castles by the mob and murdered.

As SNAP benefits are cut, this should be something we demand of state governors to do with their states national guard. Food banks & other forms of community aid will feel the stress caused by these cuts. There will undoubtedly be understaffing and shortages, this is one way we can prepare for this

Priorities.

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it. They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

Something you're going to notice as you work your trauma recovery: being reflexively silent because you're intimidated or in a "freeze" response feels very different than choosing silence because you're opting out of a toxic exchange that doesn't support your recovery.

What's it like inside your head?

Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States.

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

just saw a big-time "so give up, peon" piece going around

Say hello to Pepper, our #AdoptAShelterDogMonth dog of the day! Pepper is a sweet senior gal that loves love! She might be 92 pounds, but that won't stop her from getting all up in your business.

this guy for president 2028

Records obtained by ProPublica indicate that food banks across the country were expecting more than 27 million pounds of chicken, 2 million gallons of milk, 10 million pounds of dried fruit and 60 million eggs that never arrived.

If given the chance, I'd lose my legs all over again to serve in our great military. The leader of your party is a five-time draft dodger who has fired more Veterans than any other president in our history. Square that circle then tell me who really hates our military.

Farmer John Bartman and heiress @abigaildisney.bsky.social offer fascinating perspectives on the economic and moral impact of Trump 2.0. All you never knew you wanted to know about scarce combine parts, historic estate tax rates, and much more. @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/heiress-so...

Tmrw eve. at 8 I'll be launching my new early '26 creative & mental health workshops: botanical & bird illustrations,small museums & casting nature finds in silver. I trained as a molecular cell biologist,have taught creative w'shops on BBC Countryfile,Victoria & Albert & Bronte Parsonage Museums...

To recap: •$100M on golf •$172M for jets for ICE Barbie •$230M in DOJ payments to Trump •$250M for a vanity ballroom •$40B to Argentina while our farmers suffer •$117B in annual tax cuts to the super wealthy 1% •$170B ICE budget to round up Americans like Gestapo Meanwhile—no money for food stamps

One-year-old Bert needs a home so he can finally move out of the cramped coffin he’s living in.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification. I glanced down at the message. “Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began. So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

Many people are outraged that Trump is demolishing part of the White House. But of course Trump can't do it without help. It's ACECO LLC of Silver Spring MD ("full-service demolition") that is tearing down the People's House. You can call them and let them know how you feel. 1/
