Those who study history are doomed to watch others repeat it. (Side Note: I am the type of person who has a FAVORITE Gentileschi "Judith Beheading Holofernes" painting, Make of that what you will)

A very partial resource for the folks who need it - I found many of these by searching for "SNAP free meal" or "SNAP free breakfast" within Bluesky.

And if you don't need this help, please support the businesses providing it.

Republicans have lost the CATO Institute on this issue.

I am fortunate to be rather large (5' 10") & fairly sturdy. The older I get, the less afraid I get. After all, if they come after me, it'll only be less time to be damaged than it was when I was young ;-)

Billie Eilish Calls on Billionaires to Support People in Need: 'No Hate, But Give Your Money Away' Billie Eilish donates $11.5 million from 'Hit Me Hard and Soft' tour to charity and calls on billionaires to support people in need during hard times.

I don't see a lot of people talking about this, so I want to highlight something GOOD

Billie Eilish stood in a room full of billionaires and said "you're billionaires... Why?"

She donated 11.5 MILLION DOLLARS to food equity and climate orgs, which Stephen Colbert announced to said billionaires.

Sigh, indeed. I am a product of intermarriage, with a very weird family history, so I am way undercover. So I rather heard things that a lot of people didn't realize they were saying to a Jew. But it's totally worse these days; that's my point.

YES, THAT! They have invested so much of their energy, built their entire personalities around the social cred they get on that one issue that realizing just how wrong they are would be an existential crisis.

Yup. We got complacent, but the #antisemitism of your grandparents' time (OK, your great-grandparents) is back.
