I just said, "uh oh Spaghetti-Os" to my kids and they looked at me like I'd had a stroke.

Please understand that people will not be "going without SNAP/EBT/food stamps" - people will be going without FOOD.

Actually and literally.

I never have 'seen' people steal food... Nor will I ever...

I wear glasses, and I don't see so well, anyway. But even if I did see well, I am never going to see anyone stealing food. Working class people stealing food is something that has never happened in history, and will never happen.

It’s been really disheartening to see the things people say about those who use SNAP. Many seem to have little understanding of why the program exists in the first place.

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people? Does anyone work anymore?"

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employedβ€”but in jobs that pay poverty wages

On a deadly serious note, the President cannot rely on external, private sources to fund spending as an end-run around Congress’ constitutional power of the purse. If he can, we no longer have a republic.

I'm sure many of you have heard by now that earlier this week, IU k*lled the print edition of its student paper, the IDS. The issue that was supposed to print this week contained criticism of the Whitten regime and IUs further slide into scist control, and they couldn't allow that to happen during Homecoming, when all the rich alumni are in town.
Enter Purdue! The Purdue student paper, The Exponent, owns its own presses. Yesterday, in an act of tremendous solidarity with their biggest rival school, they printed the forbidden issue of the IDS. They then drove it to Bloomington overnight and stocked all of the IDS boxes on campus, just in time for Homecoming.
Solidarity is what makes us stronger, and solidarity will be what ultimately allows us to triumph, if we can ever truly get it together. I hope everyone has a fun, safe day if they're going out today, and I hope we can think about what acts of solidarity we can begin taking to really make this movement MOVE - beyond a permitted expression of upset into more active resistance.

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

'No Kings' Protest Organizers Aren't Afraid of Trump's Court Jesters

β€œI think it’s very clear that they’re lashing out because they fear this kind of peaceful, organized people power, & that’s true of authoritarian regimes all over the world,” says Ezra Levin, co-founder of Indivisible β€” a progressive activist group focused on peaceful resistance to the Trump regime.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

I met my current spouse by chance bc we had a mutual friend who created a group for blue dots in a very red area. Thought they were cute, sent a babbling message, they responded in kind, and the rest was history. ❀️‍πŸ”₯

They don't really care if they do as long as they stay rich. Their poor supporters will keep them with low wage labor and they'll have the rest of us incarcerated so they can have legal slave labor.

I mean - you're just sharing your opinion they so love to tout as part of their rights. I imagine since they can't distinguish opinion from fact, which is telling in this case, they can't quite comprehend that is what is happening here.
