Anyone can become disabled.

Anyone can lose their job.

Anyone can become homeless.

Anyone can go hungry.

These are not moral failings. They can happen in an instant.

Most people are far closer to living in poverty than they realize.

We must fight for one another & for the most vulnerable.

The goal of healthcare is not to increase the GDP

It’s to make people healthy & tend to the sick. It’s not supposed to be a money making scheme

Dr Oz saying that to “flourish in life” you must engage in the workforce is useless eater rhetoric

He wants you to see the sick & disabled as expendable

“Don’t want to lose SNAP? Tell the Dems to reopen the government!”

SNAP assistance gets cut in the big beautiful bill too.

Healthcare is slashed as well.

They’re withholding food for 40 million Americans to try and force the Dems to sign off on cutting food AND healthcare!

Exclusive: USDA says it won't use emergency funds for food stamps States also won't be reimbursed if they cover SNAP expenses on their own, the memo says.

Food aid has never been cut off during a shut down.

Secretary Rollins is refusing to use USDA emergency funds for SNAP.

She was also the one who said no amnesty for farm workers because all the “able bodied” Medicaid recipients can do their jobs.

They want us sick, hungry, scared & poor.

When idiot Ron Schneider was born in 1963, the infant mortality rate was 29/1,000. It is now close to 5/1,000. So, no, children were NOT healthier when he was a kid. And he was, clearly, dropped on his head.

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

A tweet from Republicans Against Trump reads: “Where’s DOGE?” Below it, a retweeted post from the same account says: “The DHS bought two luxury Gulfstream private jets for Kristi Noem and other top officials at a cost of $172 million, per the New York Times.” Two images are shown: on the left, Kristi Noem wearing a “POLICE ICE” vest and a blue cap; on the right, the interior of a luxury private jet with cream-colored leather seats and wooden accents.

So much wasted on something so unworthy.

The problem with the generation of today, is they don't want to give anyone a chance to "repent", as it were. None, of us, unless you prefer to remain stagnant, is the same person we were years ago. EVERYBODY has said and done stupid shit in their past.

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe" Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

The Supreme Court upholds decision requiring Alex Jones to pay $1.4 billion for saying Sandy Hook was a hoax.

Good. His slanderous statements caused unnecessary trauma.

Pay up.

Then start advocating for better gun control.

It’s long past time.

The great actress Diane Keaton has left us at the age of 79. Too soon to say good-bye to the woman who made us smile at the quirky Annie Hall, and who broke our hearts in Reds. Your charm and talent will be sorely missed.

a lab pup sits and looks up at the camera. his fur is a mottled blend of blond and black, and he’s standing on his leash with one front paw.

a closeup of baby finley resting his little chin on a blanket. one of his ears is curled under at the tip and his eyes look a little sleepy.

finley sits on a rock next to a body of water and squints slightly into the sun with his pink tongue sticking out.

This is Finley. He has a rare genetic mutation that causes patches of different colors in his coat. It is completely harmless, but it does make him completely handsome. 14/10 (IG: jaktlabben.finley)

Being disabled is a minority group you can join at any time.

Everyone believes they will be the exception. That it won’t happen to them, or when it does they will “try harder” than us

The truth is most people will become disabled.

Health is both fragile & temporary.

Engage in disability justice

yeah this guy is dumber than donkey shit

This you? Just two hours later?

Official Defies GOP Governor's Order To Fly Flags At Half Staff For Charlie Kirk He said he did not want to honor a man "who did so much to harm not only the marginalized, but also to degrade the fabric of our body politic."

Photo of a missing slice of cheesecake that looks like a cheesecake hull floating in a deep blue ocean. The "ocean" is actually the blueberry topping on the large cheesecake that we don't see completely.

All I saw was cheesecake boat and ocean for at least 5 minutes

How about that.

Today, we honor the lives lost and the courage of the first responders who were impacted on September 11, 2001.

We remember not only the tragedy of that day, but the deep scars it left on families, communities, and our nation.

I don’t give a shit if JD Vance doesn’t give a shit about the Constitution. Striking civilian boats in international waters is both unconstitutional and a war crime. The party of “law and order” clearly doesn’t care about respecting it.

Most US adults think individual choices keep people in poverty, new AP-NORC/Harris poll finds A new AP-NORC poll finds that most U.S. adults think personal choices are a major driver of poverty and homelessness, while fewer blame a lack of government support.

The belief that poverty and homelessness are about "individual choices" didn't arise on its own. It was manufactured through decades of messaging designed to protect the policies and interests that create mass precarity.

As this new poll shows, that propaganda campaign has been wildly successful.

The Dusty Robotics FieldPrinter autonomously draws construction plans onto concrete.

Sure seems like Big Pharma spent way way more energy, money and lobbying capital on fighting Dems on prescription drugs than doing anything about the Secretary of HHS casually, and without any real evidence, telling everyone their products kill kids and give them autism.

I'm on SSI, and I hate it. I hate that I can't work. And it took me over 10 years to actually get on SSI. This is a system designed to keep you poor. And it sucks ass.
