The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP.

They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown.

They’re refusing.

Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop.

Starvation as a policy choice.

I wish I had excitement over this, but I’ve already seen too many cases where the reason the company wanted an outside AI service to stop using their content turned out to be because they were in the middle of creating their OWN internal AI program for copyright.

And yet they are full of rich centrists telling us to listen more to working class people
It’s truly scary how few mainstream publications are willing to publish working class voices and perspectives (let alone leftist ones), and every one we lose is yet another blow to the fragile hope for a better world

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

Ohhhhhh... So he was helping his big pharma friends at K-C make a deal? *That* makes much more sense than the idea that Tylenol causes autism.

Read this and wrap your head around the way white institutions so often want marginalized people to present their stories in weak, hyper-personalized, depoliticized ways.
I am so upset.

Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/
To be asked to write about racism only to be racially aggressed in the editing process is a new level unlocked I have to say.

Zohran picked 「卓蘭」("excellent orchid") for his first name and「夸梅」("brilliant plum") for his middle name.

The orchid and the plum are among "The Four Noble Ones" in traditional Chinese art, the former symbolizing an indifference to fame and fortune, the latter an indomitable, incorruptible spirit.

People really need to see Peter Thiel talking about the antichrist as proof he's trying to run a cult and not proof he's simply Gone Off The Deep End. You can literally look at how he ties antichrist references to "which is why you must advance my ends." It's a very obvious cult-building con.
“In the most intense kind of organization, members abandon the outside world and hang out only with other members. We have a word for such organizations: cults. Cultures of total dedication look crazy from the outside. But entrepreneurs should take cultures of extreme dedication seriously.”
You Should Run Your Startup Like a Cult. Here's How
No company has a culture; every company is a culture. A startup is a team of people on a mission, and a good culture is just what that looks like on the inside. The first team that I built has become ...

So mad I had to check the Indigenous percentage of Canada's population

It's 5%

5%, from an already impoverished and systemically disenfranchised people, are expected to bear the burden of 1/5 of the total cuts
Carneys cuts might seem neutral, but they will have disproportionate and unlawful impacts on First Nations peoples, in violation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Canadian Human Rights Act. They are morally indefensible in a country that professes a commitment to reconciliation.
You failed to mention that Indigenous people are shouldering 20% of your austerity budget cuts.

This is #apartheid in Canada.

Following in your father's footsteps, as predicted.

food stamps should let you buy more things. One time I couldn't even buy some fresh oranges from wal-mart because they, for whatever reason, weren't in the system as an approved food. it was blood oranges, so a seasonal variety. same price as regular oranges, but nooooo
I genuinely could not care less about what people buy with food stamps. I wouldn't even give a shit if they used them to buy cigarettes and vodka

This prosthetic eye made from a mixture of natural tar and animal fat is nearly 5,000 years old. It was found near the city of Zabol in Iran in 2006. Archaeologists believe that the prosthetic eye, which was once painted gold, was worn by an ancient priestess who stood 6’ tall.

One of the unintended benefits of being poor due to two months of strike is finally digging into my backlog games. So, here’s a 1000xRESIST thread.

The vibes are absolutely off the chart, and it shows how good graphics aren’t about processing power & features but presentation & art direction.
Finally playing 1000xRESIST, on the advice of pretty much everyone, and it’s fascinating. Exactly what I need after a crunchy time with Final Fantasy Tactics. I’m unsure how I feel about the voice acting, though. It’s startling and unsettling, but I can’t quite understand if that’s the intent?

This is about as sick and cruel as it gets. This policy is in place to stop grocery stores from OVERCHARGING people using SNAP.

The Trump administration, while it illegally withholds SNAP benefits, is telling grocers they can't offer discounts to people on SNAP.
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email
