Food bank director: “for every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There’s no way we can meet that gap.”

Yep, no government shutdown has ever affected SNAP before - they do not HAVE to do this. They are choosing to.

And yes, as someone who relies on SNAP to live - I still don't want the Dems to fold. I want the GOP to do their fucking jobs.

Israel and US Scorn ICJ Ruling Against Starving Civilians as Method of Warfare The World Court says Israel has a duty as the occupying power to cooperate with UN relief efforts, not impede them.

Israel and the US denounced the ICJ’s ruling that declared starvation of civilians as a method of warfare illegal and ordered Israel to allow unrestricted UN aid into Gaza. The World Court says occupying powers must cooperate with relief agencies, not block them.

I didn't have to read any farther than her bio: "Supporter of Ukraine and Israel."

Like, tell me you are a) performative and b) not a safe person for Indigenous people to be around, only in way fewer words.

Frog costumes are cute & all, but I feel like we've lost the plot when we focus on that & not the fact that Mike Johnson has effectively rendered one entire branch of the govt impotent - the one that speaks for us.

Resist the thugs in camo, but don't take your eyes off the ones in suits.

why is that?

what purpose does this serve?

Ouch. This one cuts to the bone.

Worth it just for the comments.

I'm very afraid for my future as a person trying to be a novelist, specifically as a WOC who does not shy away from dealing with race in my work.

I am scared. I'm worried in this economy and political situation. Will publishing say no we'll just go with the comfy books that don't rock the boat?

Native American Heritage Month is coming up and before it gets here, sharing this starter pack so you can get a head start by following some amazing Native folks with a lot of knowledge to share.

I appreciate a Pope who knows his sports, 🤣

I dunno. I'd almost be tempted to friend her, just for story fodder.

Turtle Island is part of the creation story of many tribes, and Braiding Sweetgrass is only one of many works that discuss it. The Wikipedia article is a decent enough summary.
