I lived with my dad when I was very young and he didn’t apply for food stamps or free school lunches, though we qualified.

So, I went hungry. It was awful. I begged neighbors for saltine crackers. I can say it was the worst time of my life.

Children shouldn’t go hungry. Restore SNAP benefits.

ICE in Portland: “Dear God, they’re Jazzercising in formation! Light ‘em up!”

Our biggest competition is screens at home, says theme park boss Merlin Entertainments Fiona Eastwood sits down for the BBC's Big Boss Interview.

Ticket prices for a family of 4:

£220 Legoland
£144 Thorpe Park
£136 Alton Towers
£148 Madame Tussaud’s
£148 Sealife
£86 Warwick Castle

+ food, travel, shop

Yeah - phones are the issue.

SNAP benefits are about to lapse for 42 million people, because nothing says “save the children” like starving them.

I have to stress how highly unusual it is for the most powerful military on the planet to be blowing up random boats in international waters.

I can’t help but feel that several criminal charges will ultimately come from these strikes.

It makes far more sense to interdict them.

Two days ago, he took a shit on the American people. Today, he began demolishing the People’s House. That’s all he does. He shits on people, and he destroys things. Bcuz he’s a horrible person. I blame him a lot for the death & destruction he’s caused. I blame his enablers & his appeasers even more.

As predicted.

It looks even worse by video 😢

Russia Pushes a State-Controlled ‘Super App’ by Sabotaging Its Rivals As the Kremlin throttles WhatsApp and Telegram, the new MAX messaging app is moving Russia closer to a restricted internet without foreign technology.

Why is there a concrete crushing factory in the heart of one of the most populous places in Michigan? Corporate greed.

Ted finally deleted this lie over 24 hours later. Only the 900th time he has posted a fake right-wing internet lie. You would think a US Senator would take a few minutes to make sure these things are legit, but we are talking about Ted Cruz.

Mike Johnson has given the house a very very very very very very very very very long vacation because he’s worried about the Epstein files

Literally

Release the damn Epstein files.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.

Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

Whoa. Chicago mayor calls for a general strike; now we're talking

You know it’s bad when the Dept of Labor says immigration raids are “threatening the stability of domestic food production and prices for US consumers.”

Seems like a reasonable request

Mike Johnson: "We're fighting for healthcare as well. Not just in word but in deed. We put in the one big beautiful bill, real reforms to Medicaid to make it work better."

(The bill in fact cuts nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid.)

I know it's a fool's errand to expect anything from the media but "President posts video of himself dumping diarrhea on America" is an important thing to call attention to for a dozen reasons

See the difference? 👀
