And this is where the evil of autocracy strikes. No, Plantir isn't enough, they want to use the census for nefarious reasons - from apprehending folks to changing the congressional seats allocated. Once they have such data, manipulation will happen. Stop them. 😡 www.wired.com/story/republ...

If you're going to volunteer at a food bank because of the current times, please consider wearing a mask when helping distributing food. Even if they're not wearing a mask themselves, poor people have enough to deal with right now, getting an infectious disease just adds to the burden.

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

We may not know who needs these resources, so let's share as widely as possible.

Please sir I am just a small soybean farmer and a common man

I would like to mention again that menstrual products are covered by FSA funds. fsastore.com - so if you find yourself with money left on the table by the end of the year, consider using those funds and donate the products [pantries, homeless shelters etc...]

Right wing american christianity is an interesting religion. It grants privileges to its adherents, but obligations to everyone else. bsky.app/profile/razz...

When the Great Depression hit it briefly created a massive change in how people perceived "handouts" and "government aid" because suddenly "Frank down the street lost his job and needed a handout." And people KNEW "Frank" and knew he wasn't lazy or a grifter. For a very brief moment people GOT IT.

$170B for ICE and Border Patrol $40B for Argentina $1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet $230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation" $200M for Kristi Noem's jets $98M for Trump's golf outings But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

There’s only been one lawsuit filed against the devastating destruction of the White House. One. And it’s by Virginia couple, Charles and Judith Voorhees. Not Congress, not historical (or any) institutions, but a citizen couple. We continue to be the resistance. newrepublic.com/post/202201/...

His plan to go after the midterms is clear

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

“More than 41 million depend on the monthly payments, according to the USDA. In some states, like New Mexico, dependence on the program is as high as 21% of residents, it said.”

Yeah, basically. www.rawstory.com/trump-fascis...

Yeah the refusal to deal with the fact many are running leading institutions has led to a largely circular and unproductive discourse

Starting Dec 26, the U.S. border patrol will photograph every non-citizen including minors under 14 and seniors over 79 including Canadians. No exceptions. They call it “security.” but Let’s be real it’s surveillance. #SurveillanceState #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/AweVgYh_ETdC...

Why, if we have had numerous government shutdowns in our history, is this the only time the military is not being paid? #USDemocracy www.cbsnews.com/news/treasur...

Public safety.

“The officers had seen the magnitude of child sex trafficking explode. Part of that boom happened during the pandemic, when many girls were out of school and immersed in social media, where traffickers lurked. Teachers who would ordinarily follow up on absences or report signs of neglect could not”

With SNAP benefits ending October 31, families are facing more than empty candy bowls. If you are able , along with the treats you hand out, please consider adding shelf-stable foods to your trick-or-treat stash, as an option. Feed your neighbors as well as the candy goblins. 🎃🍜 #MutualAid #SNAP

And another thing…the Farm Bureau is a huge insurance company not a group of Midwestern farmers.

Federal prosecutors charged 2 protesters with terrorism for constitutionally protected activity. Shots were fired at an ICE protest, but neither is accused of firing the gun. The Trump administration is making good on its threat to treat anti-fascist activity as terrorism.

If you are doing okay right now, give money to food pantries. Pay the difference when somebody comes up short at the checkout. “Accidentally” make too much food and share with your neighbors. Folks are hurting.

Senator Gallego on Trump's extrajudicial killings: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then... you come and talk to us [Congress] first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

How can you be Pro Life and starve 42 MILLION Americans? They say they cannot use emergency funds, but they can send billions to Argentina and build a gaudy ballroom. How is that AMERICA FIRST?? www.npr.org/2025/10/24/n...

Nothing says “you guys got me all wrong” like suddenly making your campaign staff sign NDAs.

💯💯💯. We all know what that DHS post was—a dog whistle. Nothing but a 2025 Willie Horton ad. A group of young black males, one with a mask, that plays into the stereotype that they’re ‘thugs.’ Therefore, pre-justifying any ICE violence against black men. When they’ll claim THEY attacked ICE.

Proof that the U.S. government social media accounts are in fact white nationalist propaganda accounts, funded by our tax dollars. You’ve got to see this…

I just donated $50 to the greater Boston food bank. if you match my donation to your local charity I will send you a personal picture of my son

Congress basically doesn’t exist at this point

Anti-abortion advocates haven’t just played key roles in rolling back abortion rights in recent years. They also helped tank President Donald Trump’s campaign-trail promise to make in vitro fertilization free. #Pinks www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Why do capitalist leaders hate, uh, increased birth rates

Here’s your America First Here’s your Make America Great Again WIC and SNAP funding will end. This isn’t a “problem”..this is going to be a FAMINE. Let that sink in.

The stuffed animal on the dash is too much. Either you recognize this as an inhuman act or you have lost your own humanity.

Please donate to your local food bank if you are able. They will be feeling immense strain in the absence of SNAP benefits (and still in the setting of SNAP cuts of the OBBBA).

Speaking of grandsons of awful men, such as Timothy Mellon, last night I learned that Louis Mosley is the head of Peter Thiel’s Palantir in the UK. Mosley’s grandpa was the founder of the British Union of Fascists who married his wife Diana Mitford at Joseph Goebbels’ house. Hitler was a guest.

www.wect.com/2025/10/25/p... One guess of who he voted for… U.S. NEWS: A Kentucky man charged with possession and distribution of child pornography is a popular social media influencer. Details in the comments ⬇️

And his racist, homophobic, rape victim blaming posts. He doesn’t belong in the Democratic Party nor the US Senate. He’s not qualified.

And remember that other SNAP recipients work corporate jobs in food services etc.-- demand a living wage for them so taxpayers don't have to keep subsidizing corporate profits.

It wasn't gaudy enough...🫩

Thanks to the Republican shutdown, 42 million Americans will lose their food assistance next month. Republicans are hell bent on making Americans poorer, sicker, and hungrier. www.cnn.com/2025/10/24/p...

1 in 8 Americans rely on SNAP…

I joined community volunteers dropping off and sorting high need items (diapers, pasta, cooking oil) at Murphy's Giving food pantry in Upper Darby. You can find food pantries near you by looking on the websites for Philabundance, share food and United Way 211. Links below:

When Trump goes after big targets, the smaller ones often make consequential, silent choices. This is the chilling effect in action. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

The regime assumes all the people on benefits are Black

We'll see. Losing food and healthcare suddenly may make some people think twice. Especially with folks who have linked urgent medical and dietary needs, like diabetics
