She/her. Angry since November 2016. Reading, sewing and watching old movies to get through the nightmare. Happy in libraries, bookstores, fabric stores, antique malls, and on trains. Resident of Elk Grove, Sacramento County.

People elected hate, division, and fascism, expecting that there would be consequences only for people they deem unworthy. That’s not the way hate, division, and fascism work. I’m not sure I can be empathetic when they start to cry about the unintended consequences.

What’s draining tax dollars isn’t SNAP, it’s corporate welfare and billionaire tax breaks.
FACT: Even people working two jobs still need SNAP.
Where’s the outrage about that?!

Over 71 million Americans are paid less than a living wage, and are forced into social safety nets like SNAP.
If you think too many people are receiving SNAP benefits, don’t shame them.
Shame their employers paying them poverty wages and forcing taxpayers to subsidize the rest.

Studies show that when families who receive SNAP benefits have an able bodied adult, 89% of the time this person is employed
Which indicates many corporations don’t pay workers a living wage-and are thus subsidized by SNAP-yet somehow Republicans never mention this when they cry about “socialism”

You know who the real freeloaders in this country are? Not people who rely on SNAP, but corporations whose business model depends on wages so low that taxpayers have to feed their workers.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.
Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:
* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled
* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

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.

Other trans journalists have also covered Mamdani’s incredible ad. It was so meaningful to so many.
I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning:
