Seems all the more relevant now.

Halloween is the best holiday because it's all about people giving neighbors and strangers treats for free and telling kids how awesome they are.

If the GOP is fixed on asserting that the eligibility requirements for POTUS in the Constitution don’t matter,

“Stephen Miller is wasting our tax dollars by taking military housing while service members are lining up at food banks and veterans struggle to get the care they earned,” said Common director Jose Vasquez, whose group represents veterans and military families.

When Karoline Leavitt dismissed Joan Baez on live television, claiming “she’s just a singer,” no one expected the storm that followed. Joan, calm and poised, waited, smiled, and then leaned in, delivering seven unforgettable words: “Baby, you don’t speak for the people.”

Black graphic with the words, "HERETIC COFFEE CO., $310,918.57 TO KEEP PEOPLE FED" FB post from Heretic Coffee PDX: $310,918.57 Over 11 thousand people have donated. Norway, Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, Egypt... and that's just the emails I've been able to get to. All around the country there are coffee shops, restaurants, and cafés offering SNAP Breakfasts, SNAP lunches, and SNAP dinners. We've said it on every post - when the system fails us, it's up to us to take care of each other. And the world (yes, literally, the world) has done just that. We are mobilizing and taking action as soon as possible to begin distributing the funds to the appropriate places, as well as continuing our SNAP Breakfast (where this all began) even after SNAP benefits are back. All details are on yesterday's post on how we are doing that. Also - I want to take a moment to talk about those who have show up in the most incredible ways. Our volunteers did not sign up for this attention or traffic at our shop - but I am so insanely proud of them going above and beyond. PLEASE, thank them when you see them. Also, our DMs are flooded with thousands of messages. If we haven't been able to respond to you yet, just know that we are so, so thankful for your support. Portland, please come eat. The world has you. - josh

Says the guy who’s kept the House out of session for months. He’s lying. Again. I’m fascinated by proudly public, self-professed Christians like Mike Johnson. Where does it say it’s okay for Christians to lie like this? I bet he gets down on his knees every night & prays to his god for forgiveness.

Good question! Perhaps the members of the military who are losing their SNAP benefits as of tomorrow will have something to say about it. 🤷‍♀️

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

Wait, but didn't Ms. Noem just go on tv yesterday to say that no US citizens have been arrested or detained? This report identifies the zip-tied kiddo as a US citizen. It's almost as if she was... lying, or something. /s 🤔

📌It's sickening that 42 million people rely on food aid in the richest country world, and even sicker yet that Republicans would rather starve them.

In the richest country in the world, there is no question that hunger is a policy choice. Trump has the money to fund SNAP during the shutdown—he just doesn’t want to distribute it.

Cruelty is the point.
