Who wants to use a credit card / go to a store when you can't tell if the form of payment you brought is accepted until you try it?

The best explanation here is: they know much of the American economy is more collusive than competitive, so consumers generally won't have a choice anyway.

How sad is it that the richest country on Earth has a government that has to be forced to feed families with hungry children?

SNAP benefits shouldn’t be a courtroom battle. People shouldn’t have to beg for basic humanity. But here we are.

I saw this earlier this week but needed time to have a public conversation about it.

Goddard has always been one of my favorite NASA centers. The work they do is so cool and the folks there are incredible.

This truly gutted me. 😢

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

This is an amazing thread, and the template early on is 100% worth saving for regular use.
Frame: food stamps are used by undeserving / Black people

Negation: actually many people on food stamps are deserving / white

Kirby: THEY ARE STARVING PEOPLE ON PURPOSE. They are using racist tropes to justify it bc many people will find that persuasive. Everyone deserves to eat
Seeing all the content focused on centering all the people who need help who aren’t “fat, ghetto asses” and we can already see how the deserving/undeserving rhetorical lines are going to fall.

If the NIH and HHS were under any other prior President (Dem or GOP), we’d see a rapid shift of funding to leverage this. But the politicization (and gutting) of these agencies means it won’t happen—and so many people will die unnecessarily as a result.
Finally read the paper and it's worth the buzz.
mRNA vaccines saved 20 million lives in a global pandemic and the technology is opening up new avenues for the treatment of deadly cancers. This is really one of the most impactful scientific developments of our time.

Billions are available for a new ballroom, ICE, and bailouts. But, when it comes to Americans trying to make ends meet? Trump and the GOP are happy to let them starve.
