Greed has delivered us into the hands of an incontinent, incompetent, felonious racist with delusions of grandeur.
So thank you, politicians. I hope your money comforts you as the country burns down around us. Just remember, if we burn, you burn with us. #powertothepeople #nokings #endcitizensunited

Remember how this scene ends? That's the only way to deal with bullies.

I caller slotkin out after she voted to confirm noem. She responded w/ a condescending email thanking me for caring about the country but said that her idea of protecting america was different than mine. She knew who noem was when she confirmed, she doesn't get to act all high & mighty about it now.

With so many families wondering if they're going to get their SNAP benefits, people are going to be getting desperate.
Remember, if you see hungry people stealing food, you didn't see a goddamned thing.

A horrific mass murder is unfolding in Sudan, where no one can see it. The RSF are murdering civilians in El Fasher, having finally defeated the Sudanese army forces holding out in the city. The BBC has managed to speak to some who escaped

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess...”

Bernie continues defending him, even after the truth came out. That's not about vetting. That's about bernie sanders backing a nazi.

StellaMay 🇵🇸🇱🇧🇸🇩🇸🇸🇺🇦 @stellamay7.bsky.social · 8h

A really good guy would not have nazi tattoos on his body for over a decade, only covering them up after getting called out. "He's probably a really good guy"? There is no. Such. Thing. As. A. Good. Nazi.

Bernie and his boys have tanked election after election. Bernie needs to take his mittens and go home, and his boys need to grow the fuck up.

It's less about advertising and more about buying positive coverage. We'll give you gobs of cash as long as you write nice things about us while ignoring our incompetence and wrongdoing.

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP

You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670

Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem

If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?

You’re doing their dirty work.

Just started her book today and am halfway through it. It's horrifying what was done to her and countless other young women, and more horrifying still how few of those predators were ever brought to justice.

We saw actual video of ICE seizing an entire apartment building in Chicago

They arrested dozens of people-including citizens

And detained children after binding their hands with zip-ties

Yet, in Orwellian fashion, Kristi Noem tells us to reject the evidence of our eyes and ears

Some non-food essentials to donate:
Toothpaste/brushes
Feminine hygiene products
Can openers
Toilet paper
Diapers
Soap/shampoo/deodorant
Pet food

And most importantly: CASH. Giving cash allows your food banks to prioritize what is needed most/low in stock.

Go forth and give.

StellaMay 🇵🇸🇱🇧🇸🇩🇸🇸🇺🇦 @stellamay7.bsky.social · 1d

Give baking staples like flour, sugar, cooking oils, and vinegars, or salt/pepper/spices and condiments like ketchup/mustard. Shelf stable or powdered milk is also great. Infant formula is one of the most important needs out there, so if you can afford it, make it a priority. 🧵
