The US military’s plan to revive old bases in Latin America
Deactivated bases in Panama, Puerto Rico, and potentially Ecuador are coming back to life as the U.S. military builds up forces in the region.

“After the gringa left, the guards came in to beat us,” said one detainee of what occurred after a visit from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

Pumpkin spice can be lovely in very limited quantities and proper recipes. But not when it’s on absolutely every single friggin food group in the supermarket.

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people? Does anyone work anymore?"
SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.
Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:
* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled
* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages
Hotels, restaurants, pools, parks, gas stations, restrooms, drinking fountains and roadside stops were not equally open to all Americans. The Green Book Project archives the data and memorializes this important history of segregation greenbookproject.osu.edu #GreenBookProject

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.
