To all those “Let them go without food for a month, maybe they’ll get a job” people: Most SNAP recipients have jobs. Exploitative jobs that keep them living just below the poverty line. — Should they starve to death? And then what?

Your ability to eat should not depend on your productivity

Your ability to get healthcare should not depend on your productivity

Your ability to get housing should not depend on your productivity

Saying “be more productive!” To those who are struggling devalues human life.

It aids fascism.

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.

more kids now have long covid than asthma.

Utah has just approved a 1,300-person “mega camp” for homeless individuals,This camp lacks transportation, features locked units, and even imposes forced labor.

They refer to this facility as “work-conditioned housing,” but we simply call it what it is: modern-day internment.

Anyone who would so nonchalantly tear down a huge chunk of the White House would sell ANY and all top secret information to any foreign power.

What did people do before SNAP?”

They died.

Healthcare, vaccines, disability support, education & food assistance are vital to our survival.

They’re why the average lifespan isn’t 35 anymore

The mark of a good & decent society is whether it sees the value in helping others.

It was this part in particular. PAY ATTENTION. This is for *everyone* youtu.be/mSFUg8bGCXc?...

That was, by a wide margin, the most insane game of baseball I have ever watched.

How to be a more conscientious netizen than most people:

1) Cite your claims. Relatively reputable sources only.
2) POST YOUR IMAGES WITH ALT TEXT.
3) Don't say "since the pandemic". It never ended. People are getting sick TODAY.
4) Listen to minority groups' complaints and take them seriously.

Anyone who thinks Trump will help workers is deluded!

Bernie Sanders: "Trump gave Amazon a $16 billion tax break to accelerate its investments this year. Now, Amazon will replace 600,000 workers with robots as Jeff Bezos accelerates his plan to automate warehouses. No. Corporate tax breaks do not trickle down to workers. Never have. Never will."

ughhhhhhh

12% of Americans rely on SNAP to eat. 40% of those are children.

Starting Nov 1, we will be starving our own citizens, including children. And the GOP is OK with that.

On October 21st Lychee Slicer announced they are now selling AI Generated 3D models in an attempt to take money away from real artists. The AI generator is trained on on real models from real artists. Help us boycott and spread awareness.

42 million people are about to lose their food assistance.

Now would be a great time to cancel a billionaire owned service like Prime or Paramount and set up a recurring monthly donation to a food bank instead.

Stop supporting the rich oligarchy and help one another survive.

A kid that went to hospital with a preventable infection for the second time was “willing to wear a mask, but can’t afford one”.

Just letting you know how your policies are playing out in the real world.

People don’t want this, but they can’t escape.

A big sign of what's broken about our media is that there are people in top positions who act like free buses, rent controls, universal health care. and police reform are radical, untested policies.

It is an injustice for disabled women to be paid just 56 cents for every dollar paid to nondisabled men.

I introduced a resolution with Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick to commemorate Disabled Women’s Equal Pay Day and affirm that disabled women deserve to be treated with dignity & respect.

Maybe it’s because I had so many friends die from AIDS that I t is incomprehensible to me that anyone would refuse any kind of medicine or vaccination that would prevent them getting unwell.
Granted there are problems with the pharmaceutical industry, but some of my friends live because of it.

@marawilson.bsky.social I'd like to add most places toilet paper and soap (literally anything non edible by humans) aren't covered on food stamps. May I suggest ppl remember to donate these things as well

"Do not donate to Samaritan's Purse" is always good advice

Great framing.

If people can't afford to eat, they can't afford to feed their pets. Sometimes they're forced to give up a cherished dog or cat or bunny just to make sure they get the care they need. It's heartbreaking, especially since they're doing it out of love

i distinctly recall when i was 17 years old, my dad was watching bill maher (this was like in 2007) and i got so pissed off (i think it was about something he said about muslims) that i stormed out of the house and threw a mug i was washing against a tree. the guy is not newly awful, people

As someone who lived through and remembers his presidency, I feel I need to tell y'all to be careful with your Reagan worship.

Folks keep asking me who I’ll vote for in 2028. The answer is whichever democrat wins the primaries. Hope that clears it up.

“If they need SNAP they should work”.

Most people receiving SNAP are working. Some are working two jobs.

Be angry at the employers who pay such a pittance that people are living below the poverty line.

Be angry at the billionaires hoarding the wealth

Stop blaming the poor.

#OtD 27 Oct 1962 during the Cuban missile crisis, 2nd-in-command Vasili Arkhipov of the Soviet submarine B-59 refused his captain's order to launch nuclear torpedos against US warships. This avoided setting off a likely superpower nuclear war stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9958...

The United States is the cruelest place on earth. It has the wealth to care for millions upon millions in need and it chooses not to.
