What happens now?
SNAP will be partially funded but what happens next, when will it happen, and who will and won’t receive assistance?

What do we do now?

Years of SNAP funding exist RIGHT NOW, paid for by our taxes.

Is this why Republicans cut Social Security and food assistance so ICE could pimp their rides? Shame!

They swore it couldn’t happen here.

Terrifying. Wake up before it’s too late.

Amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥

We will NOT be complicit!

Let’s go California!

Thank you Governor @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

Gov. Gavin Newsom:

We cannot stand back and watch this democracy disappear, district by district.

Every state across America must stand up, including, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio and Florida!

Not just California!

Every Blue State needs to stand up!!

The fight is on. How redistricting could unfold in 8 entangled states State leaders in both parties say they're ready to redraw political lines ahead of 2026, but state laws and constitutions make mid-decade redistricting virtually impossible in many places.

Abbott calls the issue “ embarrassing.” What’s really embarrassing is having Republicans all over the country doing the bidding of a Turnip. Abbott could end it right now.

What could happen in the states entering redistricting fights? From @npr ⬇️

Social Security Fun Facts • Social Security and Medicare are paid for with a separate tax. They add nothing to the national debt. • Social Security has a $2.5 trillion surplus. • Congress has "borrowed" trillions from Social Security to pay for government spending. So when Republicans say we need to cut Social Security in order to balance the Federal Budget, here's what they really mean: "We've taken trillions from Social Security to pay for unfunded wars, tax cuts for the rich and corporate subsidies. We need to cut your benefits so we won't have to pay it back."

Just remember the FACTS about #SocialSecurity

It’s our money ~ NOT the #Republicans

In Louisiana, ICE deports three American children—a 4-year-old boy battling Stage 4 kidney cancer at the hospital, his 7-year-old sister, and a 2-year-old girl.

"Pro-Constitution" MAGA conservatives are outraged, amirite?

Man who threw sandwich at law enforcement was DOJ employee, Bondi says Police allege that the man approached law enforcement officers, including Metro Transit Police and U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers, and began yelling obscenities.

"I did it; I threw a sandwich," a DOJ employee reportedly said when he was arrested for throwing a sandwich at a law enforcement officer. That's assault with a deli weapon! 🥖

#AveloAirlines is profiting off Trump’s Nazi terror tactics. By contracting with the DHS to run their (often illegal) deportation flights, Avelo is complicit in destroying the very same communities it relies on for its business to succeed. Send Avelo into bankruptcy #DV1 #ProudBlue

Found the culprit!

Don’t misunderstand. This is not a drill.

Some numb nut calling himself Big Balls gets his ass kicked by a 14 year old & it’s all the excuse the 47 regime needed to bring the National Guard into our capital.

This is what a fascist takeover looks like.

Trump’s Washington DC takeover is straight out of a fascist playbook| Moustafa Bayoumi About 800 national guard troops will be deployed in the nation’s capital because, according to the president: ‘Our capital city has been overtaken by violent gangs’

Hold on to the truth. Do not give in to fear. Resist!

This is a very popular area full of restaurants and night life. People are angry and won’t stand for this! DC understands the assignment.

On this day in 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Social Security Act into law.

It marked the first time the U.S. government established a national system to ensure older Americans could retire with dignity. 🧵

I don’t give a flying fuck how “desperate” you are for a job. There is nothing that could ever justify participation doing this to people who have committed no crimes, who have followed the rules, who only want a better life for themselves and their kids. Hide your faces you gutless bastards
