Philanthropy will never be a replacement for the services that the government can and should provide. Which is why we should tax the shit out of wealthy people to pay for such services.
The SNAP Freeze Shows Charity Is No Substitute for Welfare
The Trump administration suspended funding for food stamps this weekend, and local food banks are already overwhelmed by hungry Americans — belying conservative arguments that private charities can fi...

Here is the Newsweek magazine article that led to the song "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald," marked up to show key passages that Lightfoot borrowed. Short thread at quoted post. Thanks to @bikeguy.bsky.social for reminding me about this. #EdmundFitzgerald50

Harm to SNAP recipients, federal workers, and others is real. In a normal democracy it’d make sense to prioritize reducing that harm in the short term.

In a rapidly backsliding democracy, harm is happening no matter what. Preventing authoritarian consolidation is the most harm-reducing move.
two contradictory ideas that i hold in my head at the same time: 1) i think the threat to both SNAP recipients and federal workers is significant enough now that even bad deals are worth making to prevent further harm, and, 2) everyone who caves now should retire in shame

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

What we are seeing is a replay of the surrender on Covid protections because it was going to impact the wealth class in a way that would make it harder to accrue wealth without consequences.

Liberals already made the choice to kill millions to maintain the wealth class status quo.
Maybe important to note it was the disruption in air travel that Democrats couldn't stand and not, you know, 40+ million people not knowing where their next meal was coming from.

Keep thinking about the words of wisdom from @bradlander.bsky.social that the divide in Democratic politics right now is between folders and fighters.

if/when the dems concede on this, they’ll have gained nothing and the shutdown will truly have been their fault because what did it accomplish but suffering for the constituency.

I hope everyone who still thinks a deal can be done with Rs in Congress wakes up one of these days. Look at this. Do you think Trump is gonna allow ANY tax money to go to anything other than what he personally deems acceptable? Doesn't matter what Mike or anyone says. Trump knows it's HIS money
NEW: The Trump admin told states it must immediately "undo" the work to provide full food stamp benefits, or face penalties. The feds sent this in a late-night memo, only adding to the chaos and confusion around SNAP. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/09/b...

If you have the means, today is an excellent day to donate to your local food bank.

Even if the Trump administration was competent (it isn't), and even if Republicans cared about preventing hunger and the costly downstream consequences of food insecurity (they don't), the need is there NOW.
This is an absolutely insane administrative process. Within the space of a week, states were told by judges/White House
*no SNAP benefits
*half benefits
*full benefits
*pause provision of benefits.
Result is chaos, uncertainty, and uneven access to benefits depending on where people live.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

Workers in Merced County, CA are harvesting sweet potatoes. There's so much work at this time of year that there are multiple shifts. These workers start at 4 a.m. when it's still dark. Lamps hung on the tractor give them enough light to sort the potatoes by size into boxes. #WeFeedYou

In case you haven’t heard: Legit food banks in your local area get the most food for your donated dollar. You can buy one can of beans or one bag of pasta with $1. They can buy double, triple, quadruple that for the same $1. So look into food banks, and consider setting up a monthly donation.
