Frankly, most of the time the other two shove me to the front, but one or the other are giving running commentary. And making fun of me. Which is...annoying. If you have an issue with how I'm handling shit, actually take over. Please? My...role is overthinking and anxiety... resting would be nice.
My system sometimes uses the fusion thing...but its very situational and purely a survival tool. Two of the three have different roles. Stabby bitch is good in a fight...but not so good on thinking things through, and I'm team anxiously being ready for everything, so...sometimes it's 'why not both'?
That would, in fact require basic literacy, indeed.

SNAP is a domestic violence intervention. Being able to feed your family is foundational to leaving an abusive relationship.

Anyway, SNAP should be universal. Just like school lunches in NYC. Not everyone needs it to survive but everybody gets it, no means testing.

There should also be a lot fewer regulations on what you can buy with SNAP and discounts, not bans, on hot prepared foods.

On the other site, an 18-year-old Zohran canvasser described the legendary Wallace Shawn as "the actor who plays Dr. Sturgis on Young Sheldon" which is honestly adorable
I mean...they both look pretty cute...ngl. :3

Immigrants commit fewer crimes.

Immigrants pay taxes.

Immigrants contribute over $2 trillion to the economy.

The problem isn't immigrants.

I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink.

I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.

It's really hitting the homeless right now
As the weather turns, it's hard to watch.
Yeah, my local coop does similar. It DOES help the seniors that live in the nearby center who can't walk further. But for most others? Its...just not practical. Occasionally I can manage a splurge item there because of just that. Those worse off though? Not a chance. The homeless, even worse.

People gotta eat. Period. What is the problem? The only issue I see is that everyone should always have enough food and/or access to food but they don't. That's the only shameful part to me.
But, but, 'I'm' the main character and everyone else is just peasants to serve my bidding...right? Right? What do you mean every single one of them has their own agency and lives just the same as me? You...you're telling me they're all...like...people? Obviously that's something made up. /s
Respectability politics isn't the way to go. We'll never be 'good enough'. Being the perfect protester is no protection. Pretending it is just weakens us.

The people of Little Village showed the nation what courage looks like: standing unarmed, united, & unafraid in the face of ICE’s tear gas & violence. They protected their neighbors, not with weapons, but with peaceful & fierce solidarity.
