Everytime any welfare issue comes along, a deluge of middle-class folks demonstrate they don't understand poverty at all and that half of them will hold any attempt by the poor to appear successful, happy, or healthy against them while the other half will chide poor folks for not being those things.

3.7million of these views have got to be mine.

He died the day after my 30th birthday, and while that year AND turning 30 in it was legitimately horrible, that's the thing that WRECKED ME.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

If y'all are shocked that they used flash bang grenades on protesters in the Bay Area then you didn't Stand with Standing Rock long enough.

Black and Brown people have always known exactly what your government is capable of.

You just didn't listen.

Because of the war crimes.

Establishment Democrats spent a full year complaining the Left forced them to be “woke.”

But then a left populist, Graham Platner, threatened to win in Maine, so they went right back to trying to cancel someone over old internet posts.

Sad I missed Gilroy Gardens' Halloween festivities this year, but maybe I can do Christmas.

Also, I hope other people love this veggies- themed theme park...right? Lol 😆

I also think people who went as kids love it (because you can't go as an adult without children). I did not go as a kid. It's just scary to me lol 😆

Oh is that what's going on in Flint? Or in Pine Ridge? Or on the Navajo Nation? I'm just saying that sounds like an awfully convenient reason to NOT give certain communities access to clean water if you can blame them for it in some way, right?

The frogs becoming affixed to ICE in the zeitgeist, making ICE more laughable by the day, is a perfect illustration of how effective humor is at fighting fascism.

Fascist ideas are just bathtubs full of ice and stolen kidneys. Urban legends. Untrue but memorable. Humor can be even more memorable.

simpsons added a few kids to springfield who are born this century and it makes sense for a lot of reasons but also i cant help but think 'Bart is thirty years older than that other kid'

still from The Simpsons Season 37 Episode 2 - two yellow kids are in a server room. one (kid with blue hair buzzed on the sides and wearing an orange and black cardigan) has a blank, surprised expression, and the other (the famous bart simpson) looks at him with mild contempt

Not to be THAT dictionary, but…

It’s ‘per se,’ not ‘per say.’
It’s ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ not ‘doggy-dog world.’
It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’
It’s ‘one and the same,’ not ‘one in the same.’
It's 'buck naked,' not 'butt naked.'

One of my least rational beliefs is that if you pull off a heist without hurting anyone or getting caught within a day, that's your stuff fair and square.
