Honestly, a lot of my fury right now is directed at past executives. Where the fuck are you now, Obama? Gore? Clintons? For that matter, Bush? Forget your prior claims to patriotism. In other nations, they speak out

It's so painfully on-brand for the Democrats to consider listening to the uncooked opinions of a 22-year-old nepo baby of a famously transphobic New York Times writer instead of the millions of people who make up their base crying out for bodily autonomy, anti-fascism, and economic rights for all.

For the second time in two days I was watching a random YouTube video when someone I knew unexpectedly showed up in it, either it is a small world or the YouTube algorithm has decided on a weird way to stalk me

(Also @hankgreen.bsky.social doesn't count for this, he's in, like, half of all videos)

they have been running on “concepts of a plan” since the passage of Obamacare, this particular running joke is almost old enough to buy itself a drink

I think the Democratic Party needs to put country over party by voluntarily choosing to empower independents and third parties. Push for reforms that reduce 2-party power like nonpartisan primaries, proportional ranked choice voting, and multi-winner districts. Live up to your name. Renew democracy.

skill issue because someone just posted??? the scene from Shrek 2 set to Holding Out For A Hero?????? and Shrek just loves Fiona so much?????

I had a very uninformed view of the potential benefits of the Universal Basic Income. I thought my society would be obliged to introduce a basic income for all, as unemployment increased with the evolution of technology. But the prospect of UBI could be a much more positive action.

“And let’s be honest—when a president launches unprovoked attacks on another country, that’s not ‘foreign policy.’ It’s a war crime. Trump can duck accountability here, but not forever. The world is watching.

“Snap should be temporary assistance” Some ppl r permanently disabled and deserve permanent assistance. Did you know that a $2k per month disability payment can disqualify someone from snap? Can you live on $24k per year with disabilities that prevent you from working? I hate all of u DIE SLOWLY fr

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT

Hiding replies without my consent is *dangerous to me*

I use the mute function extremely carefully for a reason

I need to know if people are being violent at me so I can take action to protect myself

I need to be able to choose for myself who hidden

This is not even close to what I signed up for when I came here.

I did not come to @bsky.app so that you could decide FOR ME what I want my social media to be like.

Control over my own experience was the whole entire draw.

If you want or need SNAP benefits, literally the only barrier should be...signing up.

"But what about fraud?" My sibling in red, white, and blue, THE PENTAGON HASN'T PASSED AN AUDIT IN YEARS AND MONEY IS FAKE. I don't care if too many people have food assistance.

Trump is illegally blocking SNAP benefits. He won't spend a cent to lower health care costs for American citizens.

But he'll spare no expense to refurbish his bathroom with statuary marble.

"in 2023, 39% of SNAP users were Americans under the age of 18."

Can't believe I haven't heard a single NY centrist refer to him as "Moron Zamdani"

You have to actually know how to say someone’s name to intentionally get it wrong

You have to be a real trashcan to use “AI” tools to make videos of cute babies and animals. If you can’t come up with an adequate supply of cute babies and animals using reality, you are, I repeat, a trashcan.

SNAP Shutdown Will Leave Texas Students like Me Hungry I don’t know when this shutdown will end or when my benefits will be reinstated. But I do know we are worth more than the petty arguments of political powerhouses.

"On Nov. 1, ... I will no longer be able to buy meat or fresh vegetables. I will lose the only reliable way I have to eat lunch."

Charges Dropped: Tennessee authorities dismiss charges against man who posted Trump meme Newly released video raises new questions about the arrest of a progressive Tennessee man for posting a Trump meme in a Facebook group

Charges were suddenly dropped this week against a Tennessee man who had been jailed for more than a month for posting a Trump meme

This is a great guest post from the Handbasket that helps clear the political smokescreen around SNAP.

Who gives a flying fuck about “defending the homeland” if we aren’t feeding our countrymen.

Yale lab reports mass killings in Sudan, calls for student activism The Humanitarian Research Lab was told this week that over 10,000 people in Sudan were killed within three days.

“Individuals on the ground sent a message that reached us Monday morning that 1,200 were dead,” Nathaniel Raymond, the lab’s executive director, said. “By that evening, they said 10,000. By Tuesday, we couldn’t reach them anymore. We assume our ground contacts are dead.”
