The father or one of my dear friends was a Nuremberg war prosecutor. At Nuremberg, at least three Nazi U-Boat captains were sentenced to death and executed for murdering shipwreck survivors.

I have been working as a producer on a digital documentary series with WOSU Ohio and our first episode is live now! It is about the Hopewell Ceremonial Earthworks, which are ancestral sites in Ohio that everyone should know about!

"Republicans (and Joe Manchin) don’t attack SNAP and UBI because the programs are failures. They attack them because the programs are successful, and conservatives hate the idea that some poor person somewhere may be experiencing autonomy, freedom, or joy."
There's extensive evidence that just giving poor people money is very effective public policy. The moral panic over what ppl buy with SNAP is about sadism and entitlement. the wealthy enjoy policing and tormenting those they see as their inferiors. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/republican...

SNAP not only supports working families, disabled folks, and the elderly. It supports jobs. Lots of jobs. Grocery stores, farmers, the suppliers that get food from farms to grocery stores. The ROI on SNAP is unparalleled. These are some of the best dollars the government spends.

This led me down a rabbit hole of mandatory voting laws. The Wikipedia entry was interesting, and it seems to me that if democrats ever get back in power, they should introduce mandatory voting laws.

This is from Autocracy, Inc, about how modern autocratic propaganda works.

I consider this every time I decide what to share and how to frame it.

Unless you’ve been on SNAP or had to be a cashier in a grocery store while someone discovers the insane restrictions placed on SNAP food choices, I simply think you should shut the hell up about food access.

The day I was so excited about THE DAGON COLLECTION being a World Fantasy Award finalist in the Anthology category, I didn’t notice I was a finalist in the Artist category.
Oh my goodness, The Dagon Collection is on the World Fantasy Awards shortlist for anthologies! I didn't just make woodcut art for this one, I wrote the story for it as well!

Do people actually understand the war waged against the Panthers by the U.S government? I think that most people really do not.

SNAP should be the most popular thing the government does

if you’re socialist, it’s the government meeting basic human needs

if you’re 20th century liberal, it’s a form of welfare that helps the poor without directly transferring wealth

if you’re conservative, it subsidizes farmers and grocers

Being laid off feels especially hard when I remember how many times I put my job first before my own health, well-being, and family. When I worked weeknights until 11pm and on weekends to hit production quotas, during PTO, and filed three stories the day before it happened. There's a lot of grief.

When I see "the resistance" get up and make these bold speeches, and then I see the signs saying "if Kamala had won, we'd be a brunch," I don't feel hopeful. I feel annoyed. Because brunch is where they were when millions of children were acquiring lifelong illness and bird flu was training up.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

How timely, I just finished my Sopranos rewatch.
Just so we're clear, there is no legal mechanism for people/corporations to "donate" directly to the president so that he can spend the money on whatever he wants.

This is straight up bribery. And a lot of the $300M "budget" will be Trump giving contracts to friends who then kick it back to him.
