If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP.

A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify.

I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

When people tell me, "Things will never be the same again!," I remind them...that nothing is ever the same again. Both in good times...and bad. Our job is to turn it around...no matter how many years that may take...and make Goddamn sure things are NEVER the same again. We'll make it better.

Tax payers have subsidized these corporations for years. Not just food, but many of those same folks qualify for medicaid b/c they don't qualify for any health or benefit packages from the employee.

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.

What a vile and disgusting disgrace Mike Davis, a Trumper who likely calls himself a Christian is. Most folks on SNAP (food stamps,) are children, elderly, individuals with disabilities and veterans. 😡

I am not sure why anyone is making a big deal about losing SNAP benefits and people not being able to eat.

The real imminent tragedy is that the price of yacht polish is sky-rocketing.

Have some perspective, people.

And one more thing I forgot to mention, the USDA is not only holding their contingency funds for SNAP, but telling every state that if they use their own state funds to cover their SNAP benefit residents, they won't be reimbursed for it from the USDA. This is cruel, heartless & inhumane.

Low wages & unaffordability of housing, healthcare and education for so many has created slavery with a stipend for too many Americans. IQ47 et al demonize the poor, disabled, LGBTQ, BIPOC, women as less than. Why aren't we rising up more against injustice & disparity?

The technobros want to have "Freedom Cities" that they 'rule' over like said 'feudal lords' w/no accountability to the rest of us, proposed on public lands. www.ideastream.org/2025-07-03/f...

'Freedom Cities' dedicated to innovation might be the future, but at what cost?

It’s a libertarian’s dream come true: cities rising on open acres of former federal land that become deregulated zones where innovation and technological advancement can thrive.

Have you heard of corporate feudalism?

It’s an economic system where large corporations (oligarchs) control essential resources (donate to “pay” the military), limit workers’ rights, and dominate the markets.

The public has only an illusion of choice.

Seems relevant.

Extrajudicial assassinations are war crimes … murders. Trump should be prosecuted by the International Criminal Court and any resulting arrest warrant would limit the countries he can travel to without being arrested.

This is a rolling crime spree, by a treasonous conman, and fascist dictator. He’s building himself a bunker to hide in when his cult finally wises up and figures out he doesn’t give a shit about them either. He’d sooner nuke all of us than go to prison. He’s evil, and ill.
