America is so racist that some Americans believed SNAP benefits were for white people and food stamps were for black people and they did not know they were the same thing and are now horrified to learn they are losing their food subsidies.

As of yesterday, Oregonians are paying more for their health insurance and SNAP benefits aren't going out.

That’s not what putting the American people first looks like. I’m calling on my Republican colleagues to come to the table and get a deal done to end this shutdown.

it's stunning that we have billionaires with more wealth than any group in human history and I've barely heard a peep about them donating to people losing SNAP benefits

The racist SNAP videos are fake; the cop savior videos are fake. In both cases there's a call-and-response between something an audience *feels is true* and *wants to be true*; and content creators & algorithms serving that desire in spite of it being lies

What OP did is good; debunk w/o spreading

if you see that AI-generated video going around, of some NYPD officer telling an ICE officer what he’s doing is against the law, one straightforward way to tell it’s AI is this will literally never happen

So here's one Christian response to the SNAP crisis. Yes, he's a pastor.

For 17 years I have relied on SNAP benefits. I'm on Social Security Disability, Medicare, Medicaid & live w/chronic illness & disabilities, 2x cancer survivor & Lupus. SNAP is ESSENTIAL for my nutrition. Me & 42M are experiencing a President who does NOT care if 1/8 of ALL Americans STARVE to death!

I hate gatekeepers of music 🤦🏼‍♀️ “this isn’t REAL *insert genre here*”

Okay well REAL rock was the Beatles…not hair bands…

REAL country was made by black people…not white people (not even Johnny cash)

So next time someone says “this isn’t REAL xyz…” remind them that they’re probably wrong anyway.

I can't be the only one noticing that rockist old curmudgeons grousing about how "No one makes great music anymore" are often the same ones trashing new artists who either ARE making great music that doesn't sound like classic rock, or trashing new artists for sounding TOO MUCH like classic rock.

Lady Gaga - a fierce-looking young woman with long dyed blond hair, with black face-paint under her eyes, a black-and-white bandanna, and a black vinyl motorcycle jacket being pulled open to reveal the black bra underneath.

Greta Van Fleet - four young, androgynous guys with olive skin, brown hair (long on two of them, slicked back and shoulder=length on one, and curly and jaw-length on the last), holding bright flowers against dark-colored clothes.

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.

The Spotify charts for the day after Halloween has Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" at #24.

I don't understand these people. I think possibly it's just become a meme, like sexy Halloween costumes of things that shouldn't be sexy. No one actually likes it, they're just doing the meme
