Have you noticed that far-right propagandists who claim Europe is “so dangerous” almost never show statistics comparing it to the countries they praise?

That’s because those countries are actually much more dangerous
The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP.

They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown.

They’re refusing.

Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop.

Starvation as a policy choice.

If you’re happy about SNAP benefits being cut & are going to church this morning you’re neither a Christian nor a good person. You’re a heartless cunt.

Someday there will be a reckoning for the serial killings that the US government is engaged in on the oceans. Another admin should not refuse to extradite indicted officials to Intl Criminal Courts and senior military officers “just following orders” should not be exempted.
Gestapo thugs.
ICE GOONS opened fire on a car full of children, their mother screaming for their lives. This is absolutely insane 🤬
So "North America Series" right?

1. We fail if we don’t end free-to-pollute fossil fuel model. Period. Game over.
2. A crash looms, prefigured by collapse in home insurance/mortgage markets.
3. There are true villains in the story, and we have to tell it that way.

People who force their religion on others will force their politics on others. It’s why we separate church from state.
Hopefully.
Obama: When I think back to a year ago, I remember talking to some people, who would say, this election doesn't matter all that much. That however the next president ended up being, it wasn't going to matter to them. If nothing else, the last nine months should have cured us of that idea.
