The Progressive Parent

He really just said, "Let them eat cake." 🖕🏽😤🫸🎂

What kind of leader wants to actively take food out of the mouths of its country's most vulnerable population? Absolutely vile behavior.

Domestic workers count on SNAP. Trump's shutdown is hitting hard. Cleaners, nannies, and home health aides work full-time—and still disproportionately rely on food stamps.

“The ripple effect on families, children, and communities is going to be enormous.”

Cleaners, nannies, and home health aides work full-time—and still disproportionately rely on food stamps. Trump's shutdown is hitting them especially hard.

My phone has a block/cord combo that is so slow, it barely keeps it from dying. If I unplug it to utilize a function, it plugs back in and stays at a now lowered rate until it has a large chunk of time to recharge and do nothing else.

This post is about Capitalism.
Fix the block.

Yikes, "Aggressive monkeys, okaaay... 😅😈🐒

*nervously rolls again*

...with Covid ~AND~ STIs?! 💉🤨

*rolls a last time*

ESCAPE FROM AN OVERTURNED TRUCK, I'm out.

This timeline is cooked.

Poor people aren't the problem, the fact that society creates them and then punishes them for being poor is. ❤️‍🩹

#PovertyTax

Absolutely. I'm so here for literally any break in the madness right now.

Finally, some good news- and it's from The Bay, too! 🌉✊🏼

"A federal judge in San Francisco on Tuesday indefinitely barred the Trump administration from firing federal employees during the government shutdown."

In March, Trump cut $500 million in deliveries to Food Banks (about a quarter of their federal funding) causing millions of pounds of food to go to waste and food banks to struggle to fill the gaps at a time where food insecurity is at its highest since The Great Recession. 😒🤬🖕🏽

This is diabolical.

US Department of Agriculture says no food aid benefits will be issued next month The U.S. Department of Agriculture said on Saturday that food benefits under one of the country's biggest social assistance programs will not be issued next month amid the ongoing federal government shutdown.

They've officially announced no food aid in November- it's about to get realllyyyy rough for millions of families. And for what?

Giving shelf stable foods before an EBT pause is good, but give it *to the parents*.

Ramen isn't a treat. Kids are trick or treating for candy, and even the ones that are about to be food compromised deserve to have treats- and may have no other way to get them. 🎃🍭🍫🍬

Right wing american christianity is an interesting religion. It grants privileges to its adherents, but obligations to everyone else. bsky.app/profile/razz...

If you learn of someone suffering and reach out to shake a finger instead of lending a hand, you are a bad person, and I feel sorry for any children in your care.

Stop fucking judging how people suffer, assholes.

The rumors about ICE getting glitter bombed are just that- until someone makes them true... 💁🏼‍♀️👮‍♂️✨️ 🔫

Two people in Portland got 5 days in jail for dousing cops with glitter and lube in 2019- one cop said the glitter "remained in his service weapon afterward". 😂

Terrifying. An Associated Press investigation found more than 420 bills attacking longstanding public health protections such as vaccines, milk safety and fluoride have been introduced in statehouses across the US so far this year. Around 30 bills in 12 states have already been enacted or adopted.

For my forever Space Sis: 🎂

Using the National Guard to support food banks > using the National Guard as a personal army to hunt brown people and anyone protesting doing so.

California gets it. 🍽🌁 ❤️‍🩹

(Also there's a Karl emoji?!)

People having ✨️opinions ✨️ about how others feed themselves is wild.

Mind your own plate. If you want others to be eating better by your standards, too bad.

If you want them to be eating better by ~their own~ standards, give them the direct funds to do so or STFU.

Stop mf judging how people eat.

When it was supposed to be, "Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!" but instead it's stressy, messy, extra depressy. 🍋🫠🫤

Sending care to so many who are gladiator fighting just to stay afloat right now. 🍋

Thread for stretching foods and low-budget recipes, it's about to get incredibly difficult for millions of Americans out here, myself included. 🫤🤔🍽🍚🫘🥫

42 million families, including mine, will not have SNAP funding in 2 weeks. 🍽

I encourage those of you able to do so to donate what you can to local food banks, and those of you in need to look up when and where they operate.

There's no shame in needing food. ❤️‍🩹

This is a blatant attempt to silence and isolate us. He’s stopping the trains, closing the freeways and firing live rounds into California. We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced. #NoKings

Capitalism and patriarchy and perimenopause, oh my! 😅🥴

I'm going as a surprise bill for Halloween- the scariest thing for so many folks who are just one crisis away from being homeless.

#Halloween #Capitalism #Patriarchy #Perimenopause #PovertyTax

California is gonna start selling insulin at $11 a pen! That's going to help so many people. 💉

Is this brain fog perimenopause or long covid or POTS or depression or exhaustion or ADHD or grief or capitalism or burnout or patriarchy or stress or...

And prosecute every. single. person. listed. See how easy that is to say?

Protecting pedos is fucking gross, full stop.

Holding in our hearts and minds those who should be in our arms. Patrick should be 13 today, but passed at 14 months from SUDC in 2013. 🕯❤️‍🩹
