I saw this VG last year at the Poets and Lovers exhibit in London. It was breathtaking. One of my faves. And this makes it SO MUCH STAR TREK FUN. 10/10 would put on my wall.

You can’t even use SNAP to buy a hot rotisserie chicken unless you live in a state with a special waiver.

TAKE NOTES.
Say this on repeat, 24/7.
Put it in ads, social media. Stop legitimizing this garbage.

those of you who are afraid of aging, please understand that one of the huge blessings of middle age is arriving at this exact station

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

NO. This is a choice. Frame it as an evil policy decision that will hurt millions.

Making a recurring donation to your local food bank is one of the easiest & most effective ways to help people in your community. Now is a great time to either set one up or increase your existing support. Find a food bank near you: www.feedingamerica.org/find-your-lo...

Please donate to your local food bank if you are able. They will be feeling immense strain in the absence of SNAP benefits (and still in the setting of SNAP cuts of the OBBBA).

Ad: This clip, then cutting to people waiting in food lines, then to Johnson saying he isn't familiar with X, Y, or Z, then cutting to U.S. citizens being arrested by masked goons, then a quote from Roberts and the immunity decision.

Some other things that could/should be the president's priority:

-Soaring health care premiums for marketplace enrollees
-Reduction of SNAP benefits due to the OBBBA --> rising food insecurity
-Government workers' ability to make ends meet amid the Republicans' inability to keep the government open

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.

With shutdown cuts, Trump moves closer to eliminating Education Department The administration is looking to shed workers and transfer some operations to other departments as it seeks to close the Education Department

Sen. Murray is exactly right: "Trump is gleefully using the shutdown as a pretext to hurt students .... No one is forcing Donald Trump to fire the people who make sure students with disabilities can get a good education β€” he just wants to." wapo.st/4nY78vK

You can easily block the official MAGA government accounts here. Do not engage them. Do not give them what they want.

please, practice kindness. Next Thursday, October 23, I am speaking at the San Fernando Valley Community Mental Health Center’s 55th Anniversary Gala. We hope to raise some money to help them help our neighbors, and I’m going to share my story, which I hope inspires someone to take the first step on their...

I’m a reasonably successful person. I have great friends, I am so close to my adult children. I am married to my best friend. I get to do cool things. I love my job. Making these choices is a big part of my happiness.

This video of reporters flooding out of the Pentagon after refusing to sign Hegseth’s authoritarian pledge that would force them to have the DOD review all their articles before publication is one of the most satisfying things I’ve seen in a while

One child going hungry in America is one too many – this used to be a value we could all agree upon.

The Trump Administration and Congressional Republicans need to do their damn job and start delivering for the American people.

Enough is enough.

Special education isn't a "nice thing to have." It isn't "charity" or doing something to make us feel better. It is a right. The right to a Free Appropriate Public Education is codified in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, signed by a Republican president.
