SNAP’s Contingency Reserve Is Available for Regular SNAP Benefits, as USDA and OMB Have Ruled in Past The Administration must use all available options to fund November benefits for the 1 in 8 people in the U.S. who need SNAP to afford their grocery bill.

I keep seeing headlines about #SNAP "running out" - it's not "running out," it's being deliberately withheld.

Words matter - especially with the truth-erasure, gaslighting, and other manipulation tactics of this quote-administration-quote.

Thinking about excuses, and how "that's not in my soul contract" just rolls right off the tongue.

Simple, yet versatile. 🙃

In all seriousness, I hope you're doing okay, despite the chaos.

No (although I should probably say "not yet" instead).

Be safe out there 🌈🥹💚

🐸🕯 Inspired and just felt like showing Portland some love - thank you for being the light. 💚

Art piece by mandy cappleman (me) is called "Sleeping Under The Stars" and it depicts a person sleeping on the street, under a green army blanket, underneath a moonless and starry sky. Text reads: Thinking about hot hands packets, hats and gloves, thick socks, blankets, and other warm things..... maybe placed lovingly in bus shelters or underneath bridges, in case someone out there happens to need them. It's getting pretty cold, especially at night. I know things are rough for a lot of us right now. If we all work together, then maybe we can help to bridge each other's gaps.

The art piece I made for this is called "Sleeping Under The Stars" 🥹💚

"Look for the helpers." - Mister Rogers' mother 💚

Literally JUST wrote him a message, urging him to do better and to quit throwing trans people under the bus. It's disturbing, among other things. At a time like this, we need all hands on deck for trans rights, support, and protection. Anyway, you already know - and thank you, Erin 💚

A #sign if you need one. ✨️

Kind of Velvet Underground/Warhol-inspired..... but, mostly, I just wanted to see a t-shirt with a banana peel on it, so I made it happen. 😄🥹

Republicans Push FBI To Designate Trans Advocacy As Violent Extremism. Inside The Project 2025 Organization's Proposal. On Thursday evening, news emerged that individuals within and outside of Trump administration were pushing to cast trans activists as domestic terrorists. Then, Project 2025 dropped its proposal.

1. Republicans are attempting to get the FBI to label trans advocacy as domestic terrorism.

Project 2025's parent org is pushing it.

It would not label all trans people as terrorists, but it would open the door for heavy surveillance and disruption.

The People: "Hey, the cost of living is impossible and people need help to get their needs met." Republican response: "Demonize trans people, migrants, autistic people, the radical left, and anyone who speaks out - check. Gut safety net programs and strip access to medical care - check. 10 commandments in public classrooms - check. Alienate our allies - check. Threaten "blue" cities with our own military - check. Use government to protect predators and cover up crimes - check. Tax breaks for billionaires - check. Destroy education and healthcare systems - check. Embolden bigots - check. Canonize a bigot - check. Control the media - check. Oh, and tariffs." "mAkE aMeRiCa GrEaT aGaIn" 🫠
