I don’t have a large following, but if you’re about to lose SNAP benefits, post your cash/venmo/paypal/whatever here.

I’ll reskeet daily. This is fucking bullshit.

🚨 BREAKING: A federal court just BLOCKED the Trump-Vance administration from cutting food assistance for 42 million people.

Hunger will not be used as a political weapon.

This is a major win for workers and families who rely on SNAP.

When we fight together, we win together.💜

🚨 The Trump-Vance administration is cutting off food assistance for 42 million people, even though funds are available. Ending SNAP isn’t fiscal policy; it’s cruelty. They’re using hunger as a political weapon and we’re suing to stop this unlawful and immoral act. seiu.co/49pAeQ4

Gen X lefty here and I have to wonder if how conservative we show up on polls is actually conservatism or a reflection of the fact that we’re all (myself included) antisocial assholes.

I mean, I want universal healthcare and great train service, but I also want the world to fuck off.

I have aunts that are really my mom’s cousins. Their parents could not raise them, so they were raised by my grandparents. You don’t get to define my family, I do.

Hello, from someone who’s worked in catering and university dining, that looks like a nightmare.

Also, to have the ability to feed 1,300 people you need large kitchens, big loading docks, fairly wide hallways, easy truck access, a big-ass dumpster…

Oh man, the New York Young Republicans implicated in the Nazi groupchat scandal ran up a $23,000 tab eating filet mignon and drinking at a hotel in Syracuse -- a city with one of the highest child poverty rates *in the nation* -- and then refused to pay the bill.

While I’m glad he’s seen the light and left the party, the reality is that the exploitive and corrosive practices he’s referencing started with B. Goldwater’s presidential campaign in 1964, not with Trump.

No, we can’t just agree to disagree on our opinions and live peacefully together when one person’s opinion is that the other can’t live in peace. Everyone already knows this, yet people pretend otherwise when it inconveniences them
