Trump’s SNAP rules are about to imperil food access for millions New work rules take effect this week, cutting access to one of the nation’s most vital anti-hunger programs.

Thank the Big Beautiful Bill. New federal work requirements for SNAP begin this week, stripping long-standing exemptions for veterans, foster youth, and some parents. An even greater hunger crisis looms.

This is crazy stuff. I am glad that someone is protesting.

I thought Canada and Mexico were allies.

Someone who doesn't think health care is a right shouldn't be leading this department.

This is the issue. The voucher programs rob public schools of funding to educate students with special needs and give them to private schools who say, " public schools can do that job better."

Wow! That's quite an admission.

BERNIE: “Do you agree health care is a human right? Yes or no?”

RFK JR.: “I can’t give you a yes or no answer.” 🤔

WATCH: “Instead of giving money to private schools that don’t take kids like me, please help public schools get better and fund them.”

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

AOC spot on , this is what leadership looks like.

What a travesty. He really thinks he is all powerful. This needs to be a big fight. I courts need to stop this nonsense. Trouble is, no one knows if the Supremes have the guts to do it.

Our republican congressman voted to impeach Nixon. And he came off the floor to talk to us when we visited Washington. He didn't even know that Paul worked for the biggest radio station in his district.

I have been having a discussion with my sister-in-law about this. She is worried about having people impose liberal values on her. She lives in Missouri and we don't need coastal elites telling us what to think.

I am going to have to keep an eye out. These are the earliest thing in my garden to bloom.

Photo of a leafy branch. The leaves are narrow and nearly terete in cross-section.

Close-up photo of the flowers. These are typical California lilac flowers but the color is pale, lavender-pink.

Happy Lunar New Year!
As this is the Year of the Snake, I give you Ceanothus ophiochilus (#Rhamnaceae). The epithet means “snake lips”: “…the rounded leaf margins [have] a distinctive pattern resembling the labial scales about the mouths of some snake species.” Photos: Jeff Bisbee CCBYNC4 🌱

what exactly am I looking at?

This guy is real awful individual. Of course, he's in the White House now.

Shit. I just called. That was quick.

Cronyism combined with an effort to eliminate professionals in government is a dangerous thing. In the past we had knowledgable staff in place in these departments who understood how to do things. I worry.

I certainly have great respect for this man. He is smart and pastoral. The complete package.

I wonder if it will stay. We need to watch stuff like this.

It’s almost like they want to keep America stupid—less financially stable & thus more controllable.

Absolutely. Read this book in Spanish with a friend. I learned so much.
