First they blamed the Dems for not funding SNAP
Then they went to court to ask permission NOT to pay
The shutdown is ending & they’re making everyone reapply and “prove” they’re legitimately starving.
It’s almost as though they spent the money and have zero intentions of ever funding it again.

A 40 pound cattle dog I know is going up for adoption on the Multnomah County Animal Services website. This is a once in a lifetime dog and anyone who adopts her will be very lucky.

The immigration agents' tear gas grenades clinked and then exploded against the concrete, shrouding the block in plumes of white gas. The dozen or so residents at the scene only screamed louder.

Teeny, tiny, baby kale is the first of the fall garden! Planted only 6 days ago. The peas haven’t yet appeared. I also sowed some carrots, but I’ve never had much luck with them so expectations are low. It may be late to have planted for fall, but I’m still figuring out how to grow in this zone.

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

California folks: if you have a Prop 50 mail-in ballot but haven't mailed it in yet, do it today. Please. I am begging you. It's literally the only question on the ballot and it'll take you like 30 seconds to fill out. Redistricting only happens if enough people vote for it by next Tuesday. #yeson50
California folks, for the love of all the gods and goddesses you revere, MAIL IN YOUR PROP 50 BALLOT TODAY. It's really easy: there's only one question! I recommend you vote YES on 50, then mail the ballot in, no postage required. #yeson50

Please Note: As of now, the majority of SF Bay Area restaurants that plan to offer free or reduced-priced meals to families who will lose #SNAP benefits are owned by ethnic minorities. There are TONS of eateries across the SFBA: are white owners pitching in, too?🧐 www.sfchronicle.com/food/restaur...
These Bay Area restaurants are offering free meals for SNAP recipients during the shutdown
A growing wave of Bay Area restaurants will provide free meals to people on federal food assistance when SNAP benefits run out Nov. 1.

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.
