Alternatively Amazon could just ship everyone the food they need for free.
Plus they already have all the supplies, the supply chain logistics. And since they got even more rich from the last disaster (Covid) maybe this time around they can pay it forward.
Why put downward pressure on already resource strapped non-profits? Walmart has the staff, the infrastructure, the know how. They could put free food lockers outside their stores and gain tons of good will.
Food banks and churches will not be able to cover a gap in SNAP funding, but you know who could?

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

This discussion between 2 Lutheran pastors, @clintschnekloth.substack.com and @angeladenker.bsky.social is enlightening. They talk a lot about Christian Nationalism and associated movements and show how progressive Christianity is different.

One of the real benefits of living through a midlife unraveling (what a lot of us experience in our 50s) in 2025 is that it's all entirely masked by the now unavoidable anxiety of living under rising authoritarianism and climate change.

It's not me. It's f*cking everything.

"Justification isn’t only about individual forgiveness but about God reclaiming the whole cosmos. The disciple participates in that cosmic project, living in such a way that others taste freedom"
True surrender of the disciple is unbound, not a private affair, tends toward aid to the world, extends freedom everywhere. —Ernst Käsemann, On Being A Disciple of the Crucified Nazarene
