While they’re still screwing about with SNAP, it’s a good idea to donate to pet shelters, too.

If you dare show up with “poor people shouldn’t have pets”, I will tear such a new one it generates a black hole.

Every single moment of this story is heartbreaking and infuriating. The casual cruelty of the authoritarian state crushing people and over again. It has to stop. We have to stop it. And each one of these goons from Noem on down have to be held accountable for the suffering they caused.

Essential research shows that particulate pollution—generated from motor fuels exhaust, tire wear, wildfires, factories, etc—is associated with dementia. More evidence that it is in the interest of public health to reduce pollution. (Gift link)

"The actual shirt, he explained, isn't really new. 'It used to just say Fuck Nazis. We just clarified who the Nazis were.'"

And he's selling them for $11 at cost. The whole interview is worth a read. If I lived in Richmond, I'd be there buying Mac McCormack whatever he drinks. 👑

Every $1 invested in SNAP generates $1.80 in local economic activity. Without SNAP, that will mean a loss of $15 billion to the US economy just in November alone.
Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.
