The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP.

They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown.

They’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.

Today would be a great day to free Łink.

If you have the power to unban Łink, you should free Łink.

Because Europeans did so much killing and eating of fellow humans they don't really understand how absolutely offensive accusations like these are to all of us that weren't killing and eating humans.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Culture Crave @CultureCrave X.com Stellan Skarsgärd on his worldviews "My father told me something when I was very small to instill confidence in me: 'Nobody in the world is worth more than you, but nobody's worth less.' It is an egalitarian view that I've carried around in my life. That's why I am for free schools, free universities, free health care, and free babysitting. Because our society could afford it" "In America, people think social democracy is some kind of communism. They think capitalism is freedom. It's not. It's only freedom to exploit people" (via @vulture)

VULTURE Vulture # @vulture Stellan Skarsgärd on why he protested for Palestine "right after" October 7: "The thing was that you knew what was going to happen. Because since 1948, they've been doing the same thing. If the Palestinians kill one, they'll kill ten. Plus they'll bulldoze the home of the family and friends ….. Every night, I think about it. Every night." - Stellan Skarsgärd, on why he protested for Palestine "right after" October 7

Good grief why is Stellan Skarsgård cooking so hard?

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.

illustration inspired by the Scandinavian fairytale, "Bride of the Lindworm". A prince in the form of a lindworm perches on a moss-covered rock and peers curiously at a shepherdess from across a dark pond. The woman reaches toward him. The scene is set in a dark forest.

a flow-chart with 2 islands. "Do I need AI?" that flows into a final island saying "No"

A good thing to do is, if your state AG is a Democrat but is not on this, contact them directly and ask them why that is.

Seriously—in any other administration the President telling the SecDef (sorry, "SecWar") that American cities should be used as "training grounds" for the military would kick of impeachment proceedings that same day.

does anyone in the democrat party mainstream have any message to trans people about how we belong anywhere in this country or does the tent big enough for chuck schumer's bailey family somehow not contain space for one of the smallest and most embattled minority groups in america

Every day, I pray for a world where everyone is kind and respectful of each other, regardless of gender.

May unreasonable attacks against transgender people end🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

May today be filled with happiness and love for you all🤍

shit ain’t over til it’s over

We need to call it what it is: a president using government coercion to silence voices he doesn't agree with is authoritarianism, plain and simple.

It's the Orbán playbook, the Putin playbook, and now the Trump playbook. And it should alarm every American.

Bertrand Russell, at 89 years old, to Sir Oswald Mosley, a man most famous for founding, in 1932, the British Union of Fascists.

I'm all for civil discourse. But everyone can and should draw a line at who they will talk to.

Notice that Russell did not demean himself with incivility, either.

The plot has been completely lost. It feels parodic at this point. Like someone is trying to force a mass delusion. No thank you.

The reason it was so important to talk about how invading cities with the US military over nothing was a sign of weakness, not strength, was because they have basically no more steps on the escalation ladder. Everything they are calling for and threatening to do they've already basically done

"but we can't support trans rights, it's unpopular!"

just a reminder that US approval for marriage between black and white people at the start of the civil rights movement was 4%, reaching a whopping 20% by the end of the movement

it's 95% now

you don't wait for popularity for a rights movement

Here, have something good.

Not everyone sucks.

Fred Hampton, whose birthday is today, said we gotta be okay with making mistakes. That this is part of practice, of getting politically involved, and trying.

As he said, “We have to start making mistakes, and you learn through making mistakes.”

If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me

Hi authors! Please remember to file a claim!

Hey everyone, you’ve been asking me to run for office for a while, so guess what?

I’m running for California State Assembly!

Now, I don’t like asking for money, but we gotta pay for this somehow, and if everyone throws in $7 we’ll have the resources to run one hell of a race, so, uh, do the thing.

Maybe warn your family that the winter gift giving season is very likely going to be weird and bad
