For 17 years I have relied on SNAP benefits. I'm on Social Security Disability, Medicare, Medicaid & live w/chronic illness & disabilities, 2x cancer survivor & Lupus. SNAP is ESSENTIAL for my nutrition. Me & 42M are experiencing a President who does NOT care if 1/8 of ALL Americans STARVE to death!

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

Kyiv today.
If you need strength -
look at us.

My grandpa had a high school diploma and a union wage as a truck driver in Kansas City.

He made enough to let my grandma stay home with four kids and they still bought a house in the suburbs, had two cars, and sent one kid to private school and college.

That would never happen today but it should.

How odd that giving to charities is considered noble, but creating a society that doesn't require charity is considered bad!

Hope people are realizing that rigging the 2026 and 2028 elections have always been the plan.

Good morning, friends. You possess incredible strength as you confront each day, even in tough times. Your past victories over adversity are a reminder of your resilience. You can overcome this hurdle too. Just stand firm and move forward with determination.

ICE/DHS, FBI, and local police on horseback, along with a secret police force in black tactical gear, were witnessed violently confronting the relatives of individuals abducted during a raid at a "Family Day" rodeo in Idaho. Among those who have gone missing are children and U.S. citizens.

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.

Many of us were notified that we lost SNAP benefits today. It may be temporary.

For me, SNAP gave me some freedom to eat. As someone who is poor with a long history of eating disorders and economic insecurity it is slowly hitting. I’ve had SNAP for less than 6 months. It made my life a lot better.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Rachel Is Absolutely 💯 Correct !

Protesters in Portland showing up in costume embody joy as resistance. If those who oppress us can be absurd, so can those fighting for freedom. Humor and creativity remind us that rebellion isn’t only anger—it’s the courage to laugh, to dance, and to exist loudly in the face of control. #Pinks

We're all in this together. When someone is suffering in silence we all need to pitch in.

This 4-year-old's heart is failing. A federal grant that might help him was canceled A Cornell University researcher has been developing an artificial heart for children for more than 20 years. Now, his research is on hold and his lab is shut down.

While this is not legal advice, it’s great practical advice on steps to consider if a loved one is taken by ICE. It will be translated soon by the @dhcfalachua.bsky.social group and we will repost it when they do! But consider following this great group of volunteers!

In my experience, courage is usually the product of love and/or solidarity. When we are deeply invested in each other, we are more likely to take risks that we wouldn't take out of mere principle, or for the sake of people we feel disconnected from. Our alienation mass produces cowardice.

Right now is the moment when we decide whether or not American Democracy continues to exist. This right here is the battleplan, the full strategy and tools you need to take down the fascist regime. Are you coming? https://americanmanifesto.news/fighting-fascism-the-battleplan-to-break-the-regime

One of my favorite things about organizing is getting to meet other people engaged in similar but parallel work and, through those conversations, building tiny bridges between all our islands

The president of the United States just declared war, actual military war, not a metaphorical one, on a major American city, and one governed by his political opponents.

In any other period, this would be impeachment-worthy.

It is more expensive to eat healthy than not.

SNAP cuts will cause long term health detriments

The silence is deafening, not least from Schumer and Jeffries. It's not enough to rely on the judiciary and hope they flip one or both houses at the end of next year. They need to remember that the first country Hitler invaded wasn't Poland; it was Germany.

until next time, haines 🫶🏼

thank you for taking my breath away (every day)

4 Tech Civilians were just sworn into our Military as Lieutenant Colonels. There are 16 ranks lower that these men just leap and only Generals above. Who do these men work for? Zuckerberg, Altman and Thiel. Now it's making sense. No red tape.. This is TERRIFYING. It should be on every news channel.

The D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force established in Executive Order 14252 of March 27, 2025 (Making the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful), shall establish an online portal for Americans with law enforcement or other relevant backgrounds and experience to apply to join Federal law enforcement entities to support the policy goals described in Executive Order 14333. Each law enforcement agency that is a member of the D.C. Safe and Beautiful Task Force, as well as other relevant components of the Department of Justice as the Attorney General determines, shall further, subject to the availability of appropriations and applicable law, immediately create and begin training, manning, hiring, and equipping a specialized unit that is dedicated to ensuring public safety and order in the Nation’s capital that can be deployed whenever the circumstances necessitate, and that could be deployed, subject to applicable law, in other cities where public safety and order has been lost. ( (ii) The Secretary of Defense shall immediately begin ensuring that each State’s Army National Guard and Air National Guard are resourced, trained, organized, and available to assist Federal, State, and local law enforcement in quelling civil disturbances and ensuring the public safety and order whenever the circumstances necessitate, as appropriate under law. In coordination with the respective adjutants general, the Secretary of Defense shall designate an appropriate number of each State’s trained National Guard members to be reasonably available for rapid mobilization for such purposes. In addition, the Secretary of Defense shall ensure the availability of a standing National Guard quick reaction force that shall be resourced, trained, and available for rapid nationwide deployment.

Today’s Executive Order creating a *nationwide* military “quick reaction force” and setting up an online portal to permit random fascist vigilantes to join soldiers is one of the scariest things I’ve seen in U.S. politics in my adult life. Why is it not getting more attention?

The clearest picture of corporate greed in this country is CEO-to-worker pay ratios.

At the 100 lowest-paying major US companies, CEO pay averaged $17.2M in 2024.

Median worker pay at these companies was just $35,570.

That’s a ratio of 632 to 1.

How can anyone defend this?
