I’ve said it before but news outlets worry a lot about looking biased and not enough about looking phony.

Why should people trust you if you won’t say what they can see plain as day?

If true, it validates the GOP strategy: refuse to negotiate; send the House on vacation for 7 weeks; illegally starve SNAP recipients; & fire federal workers. And it puts blame for the shutdown on Dems, because it shows the GOP was right when they said Dems could unilaterally end it. Total disaster.

The voices of SNAP Recipients have become political pawns. They explained, in their own words, what Trump withholding funds has been like.

New β€” While some states have received SNAP benefits for November and USDA is supposedly pushing through all federal payments soon, that doesn’t erase the psychological terror of the last few weeks.

I spoke with 20+ SNAP recipients in 16 states about preparing for a possible future with no food:

I was thinking about Zohran’s transition team and today’s anti-feminist piece in the New York Times, and my mother’s book on the first generation of women to work in the city government in New York City.

In light of today’s discourse, a reminder:

Women have always worked. The big shift from feminism was women getting access to all types of workplaces with an expectation of equal compensation.

When they say they want to kick us out of the workplace, they actually mean they want us to work for free.

Ugly laws: the blueprint for Trump's anti-homeless crusade DC's crackdown is just the latest in a long war on being poor and disabled in public.

Ugly laws led to poor, disabled people being institutionalized. It's now part of the strategy Trump plans to use to get rid of unhoused people, in DC and beyond.

For @motherjones.com, I spoke to @okaysoldierschweik.bsky.social, who wrote a book about ugly laws.

The backstory here is that the Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of this land a century ago. They sued, got their land back, and are using their sovereignty to ignore local zoning rules and build 6,000 new homes over the objections of nearby wealthy NIMBYs.
