This policy could INCREASE houselessness. I could say more but is there really any need? Grateful to the @massago.bsky.social for taking this to court!

Washington Post: US Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols

If these are not hate symbols, what is?
And to be clear, this is a message about *who* they want to recruit, and it is only straight, White men who are okay with this.

Yes and he will do whatever the President tells him to do. He has one master and it is not the American people.

All I want for Christmas is for Kim Davis to go away now, and never ever pop up in the press ever again.

But never fear: he did make it to Mar-a-Lago for the weekend! Whew!

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

No faster way than to ensure people don't have kids than RFK Jr calling them "T*ump" babies.

When you send your newsletter and one constituent responds, rudely, but he misspells all of his insults and you end up feeling badly for him because it must be hard to have all of your punchline fall flat because of spelling.

The whole political spectrum has shifted so far right that what was once accepted as a regular Democratic belief now seems "radical."
Just like M*GA kept pushing to the right, normalizing fringe beliefs, we need to work to normalize that putting people first is not radical, it is critical.

On top of refusing to fully fund SNAP during the shutdown, the Trump regime has:

-Cut $1 billion from USDA programs supporting food banks
-Enacted tariffs that have caused food prices to rise
-Made the largest cut to SNAP in history
-Canceled the annual food security survey

Shameful.

This is a truly disgusting order that allows the state to tell you what your gender is and not vice versa. True nanny state behavior.

A real leader calls parties together and finds a solution. A bully tries to hurt people until they just give him his way. The current President of the United States is a bully and not a leader, which is why he has had zero meetings to end the shutdown but is cutting airtravel.

I really really wish that Trump had attended today's oral arguments at SCOTUS - given how poorly they are going for the tariffs/taxes.

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC.

It didn't matter.

Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

Voter suppression laws are unpopular and when they are at the ballot, they lose.

Go Virginia!

How much truer this statement is today as we allow private weapons and surveillance companies to donate money to build a ballroom but make it harder and harder for people to feed themselves.

"Two centuries ago, a former European colony took it into its head to catch up with Europe. It has been so successful that the United States of America has become a monster where the flaws, sickness, and inhumanity of Europe have reached frightening proportions." Fanon, 1963....

This is terrible news. Teen Vogue has done incredible political reporting over the last few years and this is an enormous loss.

I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink.

I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.

From the Secretary of the Dept of Ed folks.
Tell me you are bad at your job without saying you are bad at your job.

I feel very lucky to live in a state that is standing up for democracy, and I felt even more so reading the list of things our AG is doing, including leading a 25-state coalition to restore SNAP benefits & winning in court yesterday. Here's more that she's doing below. Thanks @massago.bsky.social!

Please note that HIP customers can access their monthly HIP allotment in a single transaction, as long as they have at least $0.01 on their EBT account. Single swipe has been in place since 8/17/2025, thanks to the hard work of DTA's HIP team.
Please share with your communities!

You can find HIP locations here, please select November in the 'month of operation' option: dtafinder.dtadash.ehs.mass.gov

Quick reminders about HIP this morning!
As long as a #SNAP recipient keeps at least $0.01 on their EBT account, they can access $40+ of HIP for local fruits and vegetables in November in Massachusetts. HIP is a state funded program and is not affected by the shutdown.

The irony that this comes out on the day children across the US are out gorging themselves on candy. More foolishness from RFK.
I look forward to him weighing in soon about his boss' actions to deprive kids of food and what effect that will have.

Thank you @massago.bsky.social!!

One of the things that makes my head explode is that the Trump administration is arguing in court that they cannot possibly issue SNAP benefits even though they are required to do so by Congress, but they are ensuring that ICE agents have all the funding they need during the shutdow.
