I’m joining 24 other states in taking legal action to demand the Trump Administration release SNAP payments that help millions put food on the table.
We won’t stand by while the President lets our kids go hungry.

This is why we need to donate to food banks now.
"For every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There's no way we can meet that gap. There's no way we can replace every single one of those meals. It is not sustainable for food banks to fill this gap. We were not built to do this."

It is an increasingly crummy and unstable job. Rather than worry about pay you should be concerned about the fact that faculty and students have less and less of a voice in their selection, turning college presidents into political appointees

That “may” in the headline is hilariously bad.
Cementing rich white rule is (and has long been) the point of most GOP policy and that is definitely the case for selective admissions.

“Any selective admissions process that ignores income, privilege & structural access while targeting race‑based efforts to increase diversity isn’t leveling the playing field. It’s cementing it.”

It's the same story with Obamacare as with Medicaid, food stamps, student financial aid, and even vaccines. They're not eliminating assistance entirely--at least for now. Just making programs so shitty and so hard to access that no one will miss that support when it's eventually eliminated later on.
