If you are truth teller that only does so when it's being mean to someone
You are not just telling the truth,
You're being a dookie stain.
Shut up.
Sometimes I hear folks go on about being punished for being attractive or smart (which is a thing)
But you talk to them for an hour and realize, nah, *you* are being punished for being self-centered & insufferable.

ROB SCHMITT: People are using SNAP benefits to get their nails done, to get their weaves and their hair. This is a really ugly program.

SEN. RON JOHNSON: That program needs to be dramatically reformed.

Saw 50+ Rumis, dozens of Zoeys, a smattering of Miras, and whole groups of Saja Boys at my kids’ school’s Halloween parade today. It’s great, and I plan to wield them all as evidence the next time some animation studio opts for yet another reboot instead of an original idea.
If you see this, quote with a robot that isn't from "Star Wars," "Star Trek," "Doctor Who," or "Transformers
We have a crises in the social safety net and people put here talmbout "prep time" like we Batman.

Batman.

Who is rich.

If these [insert expletive] online don’t stop talking about “I was poor & you just have to plan ahead” I’m going to scream.

I’ve been poor & when you’re poor you can’t have an emergency plan bc THAT TAKES MONEY— & if you have the money you don’t need SNAP anyway.

Use some logic. Jesus.

I also have a spicy literacy take and I’ve had it for years and I’m right

“Media literacy” and “yall can’t read” takes are mostly shitty elitism. Because your reaction and recognition of illiteracy is mostly based on class, race, and region signals over actual comprehension

A lot of people outside Chicago do not know what's happening in Chicago. They don't know about the broad daylight disappearances. They don't know about the tear gas. They don't know how communities are organizing against all this.

Tell as many people as you can.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."
