I want people to understand what they contributed to when they were busy not “rewarding” Kamala or whatever tf they thought they were doing.

WIC literally kept me fed. And now Black children in AMERICA, RIGHT HERE, are going to have to do with less than what I got?!

Fuck these people.

Mississippi Free Press @mississippifreepress.org · 3h

WIC’s application limitations could be especially harmful for Black women living in food deserts like the Mississippi Delta, Cassandra Welchlin said.

She worries about children going hungry because they have difficulties learning and paying attention in school if they do not have access to food.

JD Vance blames Chuck Schumer for the fact that the White House mistakenly laid off key public health officials, including those dealing with measles and ebola.
The Trump regime's message is: We demand total power, but we're not responsible for anything.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 8h

BRENNAN: CBS confirmed the Trump administration rescinded the layoffs of CDC scientists. Some were involved with the federal measles response. How does a mistake like this happen?

VANCE: The govt shutdown inevitably leads to some chaos. It happened because of Schumer

B: But this was a WH decision

ICYMI — Trump lied that Chicago had “4000” murders, when it’s projected to have 380 this year (way down from last year)

If it’s so bad there why does he have to keep lying about it?

According to the scuttlebutt out of NYU, buddy was asked not to return this Fall.

Don't know how true it is, but it makes me giggle. If his Daddy goes after them, then we will know it's true.

This is why my office is Snack Central.
Even with LUNCH scheduled on my calendar, I will miss it.

Coffee and something bready for a late breakfast - since I clock in at 10am - and then wandering around grazing until I'm not hungry at dinner time.

Where do you think we picked up the habit of multiple fridges/freezers?
YOUR GENERATION TAUGHT US!

If you didn't get that lesson, then your people failed you.

Also, if you don't have IC and DD, then you probably shouldn't have internet access for 🦋
Goes hand in hand.

Aren't you lucky to have that option? And to have a freezer full of food! Seniors on this thread are envious ... we don't have Instacart or Doordash...what a luxury!

I love the variations in uniforms now in womrn's sports.
After the gymnasts rebelled and demanded the unitard option, and beach volleyball did the same - except more booty coverage - I am overjoyed for all of them.
