The voices of SNAP Recipients have become political pawns. They explained, in their own words, what Trump withholding funds has been like.

I think all Democratic eight senators who caved to the GOP should have to read this to truly understand who they've hurt.

Case in point: has the NYT ever done an interview with Black voters at the local breakfast spot after church lets out on a Sunday? I can think of hundreds of articles about rural Trump voters.

Protected cycle tracks are not just for cyclists, they allow more freedom for those with mobility issues

Why we're using this spelling of Hawaiʻi You may notice a change in how we spell Hawaiʻi and other Native Hawaiian words at The Seattle Times. Here's why.

Kudos to the @seattletimes.com for spelling with diacritical marks used in the Hawaiian language, the ʻokina and the kahakō.

A few years ago, when I asked the NY Times to spell my affiliation as University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, they refused because it went against their style guide.

I don't know what word to use for this except evil

I use Claude (an AI) to scan my posts for spelling and grammar errors. On the most recent post (about the East Wing, link below), I got a really amazing addendum.

"When Republicans claimed Democrats wanted "boys in girls' sports," Democrats didn't explain their actual position"

Academics did though, which maybe is why the constant attacks on "elite" professors?

This explains the smirks on people in the background. They know this situation is one event away from Weekend at Bernie's, and they are fully prepared to play puppet master to stay in power.

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Sahar. Sahar is a 23 year recent graduate in English translation. She has been displaced nine times with her family and is currently living in a tent with her parents and siblings Yasmeen, 20, Mohammad, 18, Abood, 16 and Omar, 14.

“According to a 2019 USDA report, every dollar in new SNAP benefits increases GDP by $1.50 in a weak economy.”

“SNAP benefits are one of the fastest, most effective forms of economic stimulus because they get money into the economy quickly during a recession.”

~Center for Budget and Policy

With millions at risk of losing SNAP in the coming days, a reminder: hunger doesn't happen in isolation. When food assistance disappears, families use rent money to eat. Then come evictions and homelessness.

Housing, food, healthcare—it's all connected. Cut one thread and the whole thing unravels.

Not the WSJ having the only even moderately acceptable push alert here.

NYT and NBC with basic journalism fails here.

It's notable that "an authentic working class party" isn't referring to "how can we encourage more Black, Hispanic and Asian Americans to become political candidates and address the reasons and challenges why they don't run and get elected?"

The Obama Hope poster, but it's a frog and it says "Hop"

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

The fact they jumped straight to AI actors modeled after women when, if I’m not mistaken, male actors are a higher labor cost kind of says it all doesn’t it,
