The Trump administration is defunding lifesaving research and putting cures on the back burner so they can give big corporations huge tax breaks.
We should be giving families hope, not billionaires another yacht or private jet.

a thing that really stuck with me from a historical novel I read years ago was a guy leaving a tavern v drunk and getting in his carriage confident that his horse knows the way home

I actually started to cry a little while listening to this episode. Incredible stuff
Also I had not seen a picture of digimon before listening so I was imagining a combination of neopets and transformers which looks pretty accurate based on the image here

The belief that folks with SNAP shouldn’t be able to get treats isn’t based on health but the idea that many think poor people should be punished/miserable. If anything I see a greater need for them to have one. If you lack money for extras, a $3 treat might make their/their child’s day much better.

It's interesting that wise conservative business guys implicitly understand "return on investment" except when it comes to this. It's better for YOU if your neighbor gets enough to eat so he can become your community's mechanic, accountant, dentist--whatever!--instead of lying dead in a ditch
The welfare state is about dignity, equality, and making people not poor, but as @itsafronomics.bsky.social says/cites here, it’s often also an investment that more than pays for itself
Why should you 🫵🏿 care about SNAP? SNAP recipients saw:
- Improved life expectancy
- Lower chance of incarceration
- Lowers chance of poverty
- Lived in better neighborhoods
- Higher human capital
SNAP keeps our neighbors fed, communities safer, and kids educated. Also people are HUNGRY. DUH!

If you want or need SNAP benefits, literally the only barrier should be...signing up.
"But what about fraud?" My sibling in red, white, and blue, THE PENTAGON HASN'T PASSED AN AUDIT IN YEARS AND MONEY IS FAKE. I don't care if too many people have food assistance.

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.

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

A friend of mine in Chicago just shared a video on IG of an ICE operation near her house. The operation happened just minutes before the neighborhood Halloween parade. ICE used tear gas and multiple parents had to wash their kids' (including toddlers) eyes out.
