Videos show ‘excessive’ use of force against Portland protesters, state lawyers say “The types and amounts of force being used by federal law enforcement is disproportionate,” a Portland police commander testified in a trial about sending National Guard troops to the city.

I mean, we know. But here it is:

ICE is shooting Americans who work at food banks.

Happy Halloween ♥

AHH! Frog and Toad got a little too real this morning 🫣

Canada says “elbows up.” I say for America, “cameras out.” Film every last one of these brutal criminals. We will need the evidence for their trials.

Day 31 of the #ShutdownShitshow

Must be nice, Congress —

💸 Getting a paycheck while the people keeping the country running… don’t.

There are so many other things I could go on about that they can use during these times. Any contribution is grateful and appreciated!

If you can think of anything else a pantry may need, please list it below. Donate, volunteer your time, and let’s work together to help our communities!

So if you are unable to contribute financially, please look at what I have listed as guidelines and examples. These things are like GOLD to individuals going without, and many people take some of the basics for granted or do not consider that some people don’t have a can opener.

Seasonings and coffee are often overlooked and seen as a "luxury" as well.

Pet food, menstrual supplies, dish and laundry soap, body soap, tooth paste, and deodorant are often also fawned over.

And snacks, formula, and coloring kits for kids. Kids are so often missed when it comes to supplies.

Hi! I frequent my local food pantry and see what the people working there and visiting need.

Often overlooked items are oil, shelf stable milk, flour, sugar, pop top can goods, margarine, mac and cheese that comes with the cheese sauce packet (not the powder), fresh meat and produce (cont.)

- Respected, reliable news sources have reported on US citizens being arrested or detained in Chicago.

- We know US citizens who have been arrested or detained in Chicago and suburbs.

Kristi Noem is lying - deliberately & egregiously.

This sweet woman messaged me and it broke my heart. I didn’t have it in me to tell her I am one of the disabled ones, losing snap, relying on the generosity of friends to make it through things myself.

But please, if YOU have $5 and can help, please continue making an impact in Gaza as well!!

3 things happening at once:

1. They are learning the ACA coverage they enjoyed was always OBAMACARE. The very insurance they voted to end.

2. They are learning they, rural whites, are the demographic MOST RELIANT on government aid.

3. They are learning it’s the GOP’s fault for the shutdown.

I have not much to give but my love, my art, and my hope.

I hope for a better tomorrow. A day when we can all be free and equal. A day where no person goes hungry, or without shelter and warmth. A day when we all have access to healthcare.

A day where economic classes disappear.

Ahead of the 1st shutdown of US food aid to hungry Americans in 60 years, some of the 200,000 Little Free Library locations are converting into food pantries. Thanks @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social

To be abundantly clear, ICE is violating everyone’s constitutional rights, citizens and non citizens alike.

The coup leaders commanding this ongoing illegitimate brutality want us to forget that core fact.

It’s intentional confusion arising out of the chaos they create.

Stay focused.

Not everyone who is vegan or vegetarian is for ethical reasons. Many are due to health reasons restricting what they can eat so please consider this. The disabled with health issues limiting what they can eat are high on the list of people who will likely need to access food pantries!

Kosher and Halal foods that do not include Gelatin or pork are also, I am sure, very much appreciated.

Vegan or Vegetarian options as well.

When thinking about people who get SNAP who now have to rely on the food pantry, here are some common food allergens maybe not accounted for:

Dairy
Eggs
Nuts
Seeds
Legumes
Cinnamon
Artificial Dyes
Artificial Colours
Wheat

Please list more down below and please donate allergen friendly foods! 💜

Randomness in all this:

I am not vegan, but if you are, I want you to know that if you are an artist and paint, please check your black paints for PBk9 as it is derived from charred animal bones.

I don’t mind, but y’all might. So think about your supplies and where you source your art from.

I have been playing piano and sketch more. I am also making time to read, and have dates at home with my spouse. If I am really lucky I get to take a hot bath with a cup of tea as a special treat 💜

Disengaging is so important or you will go insane scrolling, waiting for the next bad news post.

I did some art in high school featuring gloom lines as barcodes. I am revisiting that.

In view of the SNAP crisis, providing pantry stable items to those in need. Please take what you need and leave what you can, no perishible items please.

📣 IF YOU HAVE A LITTLE FREE LIBRARY TURN IT INTO A COMMUNITY PANTRY ASAP IF YOU ARE ABLE

He will literally blow up the planet before revealing what's in those files.

We are thrilled to welcome @resistancerangers.altgov.info to the #altgov family! Did you know the NPS has a public health office we work with to track diseases? 🕵️🦠🦬

The people yearn for (democratic) socialism (this one will make you cry)

If anyone happens to have the spare income, is ever in need of a commission, and wants to help a disabled/neurodivergent/nonbinary artist out….

If SNAP benefits vanished tomorrow, feeding 42 million Americans for a month would cost about $7.8 billion.That’s less than 1% of the combined net worth of the three richest men in the U.S. A reminder of how obscene inequality has become and how easily hunger could be solved if we chose to.
