Maine has one of the highest voter turnouts in the country. Letโs keep it that way! Restricting voting rightsโby limiting housebound seniorsโ and disabled Mainersโ access to absentee ballotsโis beneath us. No voter suppression! #Maine

Today I tried to find out how many ppl on #SNAP have no car of their own and the most current information is from 2015.
In 2015 33% of SNAP households did not have a car, something often required to access food banks. I am sure those numbers have changed.

Image of the mechanical ladder outside the Louvre Text below says WENN'S MAL WIEDER SCHNELL GEHEN MUSS (When you need to move fast) Underneath is more German text which translates as "The Bรถcker Agilo transports your treasures weighing up to 400kg at 42m/min - quiet as a whisper."
The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast'

โLocal elections are often about more than potholes and property taxes โ theyโre a way for voters to push back against state overreach.
And yet, almost no one shows up.โ
If you're lucky enough to be financially stable and have a few bucks to spare, now would be a really good time to donate to America's food banks. They've already lost a ton of funding this year and with SNAP on the line, more are going to need them in the coming weeks.
