what do they propose? I cannot see any value they bring when power > money. I hated the walking dead community that still held onto money - why would they agree to that?

I have a really hard time even believing they didn’t see it. I married into a white family and it is way worse than what they even publicly say/do. For example, they can be racist-lite in mixed company, but they are way more racist with all white people (they’d forget I was there)

Too many people still believe if they didn’t see the racism, there wasn’t racism.

Things will stay stuck unless and until people reckon with why and how we got here *honestly.*

So far the self-distancing from the problem and "We'll Be Back/This is Not Us/Lets Sue Our Way Out of Authoritarianism" Juice is beating y'all's asses.

I promise the exceptionalism won't help.

Oh, by the way, I wrote in @thenation.com about how Trump is condeming millions of Americans to hunger this Thanksigiving with his accelarated timeline of adding work requirements for SNAP benefits.
I also discussed how work requirements provably don't work, for the neoliberals in your life.

Trump Has Just Condemned More Americans to Hunger

The administration’s decision to fast-track a bunch of changes to food stamps—including new work requirements—is as stupid as it is cruel.

When I asked ICE to comment on their abduction of a 13-year-old boy, a spokesperson just referred me to a screenshot of Tricia McLaughlin’s X post. They have not replied to multiple requests to clarify the lies in the post.

ICE took a 13-year-old they said had a gun. Local cops say he didn’t.

Now he's detained 500 miles away from his Massachusetts home.

I wonder how many people don't know that Alaska had a Typhoon because it affected Indigenous people at a disproportionate rate.

If you're on SNAP and you need help, add your links below so I can boost them.

If you're not on SNAP, please share the replies and donate if you're able.

Link's not around so we do what we can, right?

Everyone’s talking about Milpay, but reminder that USDA is currently using excess 25 funds to pay for WIC and School Lunch. They say they have like maybe a month of that left.

Red States are going to lose their fucking minds if they can’t draw those soon.

something I didn’t expect about parenting is how much other adults will bully your kids, especially school adults. also, how many times i’ve asked a kid to ‘show me your mom’
