Last physical therapy appointment for a while and Kim let me skip the grey weighted ball cause I cussed last time and Halloween is tomorrow. I have full use of my arm right now. There’s pain, but it’s not debilitating.

Of the 40 million people MAGA is about to starve, 16 million of them are children and 17 million of them are adults who already work full time and can’t afford food.

Pull YOURSELF up by the bootstraps and at the VERY LEAST stop mocking them for not being where you are in life.

State Warns SNAP Benefits Will Lapse Starting Nov. 1 Gov. Bill Lee won’t dip into the state’s $2.1 billion Rainy Day Fund to back Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) food benefits relied on by 690,000 Tennesseans.

SNAP benefits are on pause in November. The Governor isn't making up the gap. What are the food banks in your city that serve inclusively so that people will know where to go for help or to donate?
