I like the pink one. Picking up my kid from school: Mom, you're on the curb.

If she's had a Damascus moment (which I don't believe), she can leave office, shut up, put her head down, and work to atone for her past and help those she now claims to care about. She doesn't need public office for that any more than a "repentant" embezzler needs to be rehired as an accountant.

Kid kept teasing me while I drove him to school this morning. When I finally snapped back, he started singing Mozart's "Confutatis" at me. I will never tire of this.

The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP.

They have a contingency fund to ensure itโ€™s covered in the event of a shutdown.

Theyโ€™re refusing.

Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop.

Starvation as a policy choice.

You canโ€™t buy class.

Trump thinks marble and gold are classy.

You canโ€™t fake empathy.

Trump held a billionaires ball the day the food money ran out.

You canโ€™t fake decency.

Trump insulted Biden after his cancer treatment.

Trump is a disgrace to America and human kind.

Oh and a child rapist.

GOP: I can't believe Dems are trying to stop us from taking away your healthcare. Just for that, no food for you.

Itโ€™s day 29 of the shutdown and SNAP is set to stop next week. Food banks are already being overwhelmed. If you can, please donate to your local food bank ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ

๐Ÿ’ตBecause food banks can purchase food at a discount, donating money goes further than donating food

๐Ÿ“‹If donating food, check for a wish list

Exactly. My parents were only children and Mom's parents died young. So Mom's cousins were my aunts and uncles. Her aunt and uncle were my grandparents. Dad's BFF and wife were my aunt and uncle. This badly-manufactured outrage is all they have.

Neither of my parents had living siblings, so my dad's best friend and his wife were my "aunt" and "uncle," and so were/are my mom's numerous same-generation cousins.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

Itโ€™s corporate greed. Itโ€™s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

โ€œFor every meal a food bank provides, SNAP provides nine.
We canโ€™t replace that,โ€ said one director. โ€œWe were not built to do this.โ€

Let that sink in.

Cutting SNAP doesnโ€™t just starve families, it breaks the last line of defense against hunger.

Republicans are trying to force Dems to break & sign the CR

Think about that

Republicans want Dems to choose between providing food or health care. Maga is fine with cutting both

Let that sink in

Please stop voting for these evil assholes

Our local food bank is located on a state highway in South Carolina and opens 9 a.m. M-F. I hope to document the length of the vehicle queue when possible as the Republican SNAP hunger crisis approaches.
Mon., 10/27/25, 9:03 a.m. WX: rainy, 50F. Vehicle queue: ~1,390 ft (0.25 miles, 424 m).

The U.S. federal minimum wage was raised to its current rate, $7.25/hr., before my kid was born. Next year my kid will graduate from high school.

A reminder that losing SNAP will be particularly devastating to those whose disabilities require them to have special diets.

The disability tax is real.

Everything costs more when youโ€™re sick, and special diets are no exception.

Boost & donate to mutual aid. People need help.

During COVID, our local food bank had a mile-long car line at times. Couple times during COVID, all children in my school district in S Carolina (not sure about others) received EBT cards, regardless of income. People were still hungry. This will be devastating. Food banks need whatever we can give.
