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.

NOAA hurricane hunters flying aboard a P-3 Orion aircraft ("Kermit") are monitoring Hurricane Melissa as most aircraft steer clear. The storm poses a catastrophic threat to Jamaica and Haiti.

The crew are among the many federal workers working without pay during the US government shutdown.

A map image from the Flight Radar 24 service shows the flight track of a NOAA P-3 Orion aircraft flying over the Caribbean Sea, where Hurricane Melissa threatens to bring catastrophic rain and flooding to Jamaica and Haiti. Most other aircraft appear to be steering clear of the area.

Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

dear US friends, when a sitting president (re)builds the seat of government, it almost always means the president has no intention of leaving at the end of term. your African friends with decades of experience

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe"

Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.

This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.

All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya frames the agency’s decision to pivot from mRNA vaccine research as a response to a “crucial test” that mRNA supposedly failed: earning public trust.

This framing conflates public trust with scientific validity, which is flat out wrong.

Also the number of AI generated posters this year? For an arts and culture festival it’s quite a slap in the face to see individuals using stolen, eco-terrorism drivel to market their shows. 😒 you know who you are

Fringe regularly puts out citizens of the city and costs the city massive amounts of money and puts a strain on local resources. When does Fringe plan to give back?

Julie Ann of Rohan @ocaptmycapt.com · Aug 13

Even Glastonbury takes a year off to allow for the environment to heal the land where they hold the festival but Fringe never actually does an eco-approach to the work. And! Yet again the LLC in charge is in London so much of the Fringe money never goes back to City of Ed.

“Oh it’s so unbearably hot during the @edfringe.bsky.social now!”

But we won’t have a conversation about how the festival has gotten way too big each year and is causing massive carbon emissions and does nothing to offset that. #climatechange #festivalfringe #cancelfringe
