Millions are about to lose food assistance. Not because they’re lazy.
Most people on SNAP already work.

The problem isn’t work ethic. It’s wages.
Poverty isn’t a glitch in the system. It’s how the system keeps power.

💛 If you can, volunteer. Donate. Feed someone the system left behind.

It's #Stoptober - a great time to focus on #quitting smoking, whether cigarettes or vapes visit your pharmacy for advice. It's also worth understanding the sneaky "tricks" of the tobacco industry to get people hooked, according to @who.int @helendon-rn.bsky.social @adewilliams.bsky.social

Good morning, my friends. Reflect on the things that give you energy. Seek them out. Pursue them with purpose. What can you add to this list?

Several food banks have begun issuing statements to communities asking for donations as the need for food assistance has increased and is expected to increase even more in November as the USDA has announced that SNAP benefits will not go out.

Billionaires are using a loophole to avoid Medicare taxes. Closing it — and eliminating other ways around the tax for wealthy business owners — could raise more than $250 billion over 10 years for the program.
