No one hand writes paper checks to SNAP recipients in normal times. The funds are disbursed automatically. The majority of infrastructure goes to means testing current recipients or processing applicants. The money clearly exists; this is a choice made independent of the shutdown to squeeze voters.

We have money for a $20b bailout of Argentina, but the acting director of SNAP has just announced that SNAP benefits will be cut off on November 1.

Just as a heads up, the ANNUAL budget allocation for SNAP is $100b.

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton.

I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

White words on a black background read:

50+
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers.

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

the older i get the more i love being adhd, it’s a much more interesting way to connect with the world

when we adhd ppl are in our element and given the space and opportunity to do what we’re good at, in the way we’re good at operating, we’re fucking on fire

it’s the neuroblands that fuck us up

I know it’s not technically polite, but I love having a conversation with other people who are comfortable with short interjecting interruptions. To me it makes the conversation feel more like something we’re weaving together rather than alternating individual presentations. It feels more alive.

It's been so long since I worked on this piece, yet it is still one of my favourite paintings I ever did.
Maybe just because it was one of those seemingly random things my watercolour teacher placed on my desk to paint and I didn't have much choice? 😁

Photo of a watercolour painting of a beat up mechanism, including gears, levers and bolts. Towards the right of the photo you can see the hand of the artist holding the brush while they're working on the piece.
