"...racism is not a natural condition of poverty but a political weapon that rich men use to constrain poor people’s political power."

True. My only niece is my god child, the daughter of my bff.

Excellent.

FACTS: 86% of all SNAP benefits go to households that include a child, an elderly person, or a person with disabilities

And, almost 40% of SNAP recipients are children.

SNAP feeds America. In the land of plenty, no one should go hungry. #saveSNAP #feedveterans #feedchildren #usetheemergencyfund

Wait. Is this a joke? Nice try. Not funny. 0/10 do not recommend.

Lol. Experimenting... I learned from my parents in the 80s and 90s to be frugal because we needed to. It became a way of life and I did it even when I didn't have to. Now that my family has to do it again, I'm fine but I'm driving my husband crazy.

Absolutely correct.

What a loss. May she rest in peace and may her memory be a blessing. 🕊️

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.”

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP.

A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify.

I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

I’m seeing lots of talk about donating to food banks. I’m all in favor—give what you can—but if you can possibly give cash, it’ll do a lot more. 🧵

The Greater Boston Food Bank does amazing work.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

METRO EXCLUSIVE Andrew Cuomo says he 'will move to Florida' if Zohran Mamdani becomes NYC mayor

My closing pitch to voters? “I will only live in this awful place if I rule over it”

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people? Does anyone work anymore?"

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

This. Please don't judge down, judge up.

Fuck........ AFFORDABLE HOUSING. New phone hasn't learned how I Swype yet 🙄 Anyways affordable housing first, adorable housing next, and then maybe an edit function on Bluesky.

This is what's wrong with the idea of moving away instead of staying and fighting for more adorable housing.

So sick of this shit....

Oh, he’s cutting snap benefits? I guess I’ll be taking all that $ I was going to spend on gifts and donate it to my local food bank. We don’t need more stuff but kids do need to eat.

I told my friends & fam today and EVERYONE was on board!

no snap? no xmas crap!

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.

If you are a person who told everyone they were overreacting in 2016, and you have since realized you were wrong, I think you have a valuable role to play right now:

Talk to people who aren't convinced things are *that bad* about why you were wrong and what you wish you had done differently.

WTF!!!! OMG it's killing me. No no no no no 🙈🙊🙈🙊🙈

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Wow! Great to see this. 🗞️
