Get mad. Don't let the GOP OR the DNC off the hook.
Anger is a wrathful beast. A fire burning everything in its path to ashes. But anger wedded to purpose is just passion. Passion has lifted the wretched from the gutters, toppled empires, and brought even great men to their knees. I am so fucking angry at everything right now. People are STARVING.

I hate that people are fighting to keep their $500 a month healthcare premiums from going to $2000+ a month.
$500 a month is more than most people can afford and healthcare should be a basic human right.
I hope we can use this as an opportunity to fight for Universal Healthcare. It’s time!

The USDA now threatening grocery stores who offer discounts to SNAP recipients.
People are going hungry. Their benefits were illegally cut off leaving them to starve.
40% of SNAP households have children.
If grocery stores & local business want to step up to help… let them.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP.
They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown.
They’re refusing.
Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop.
Starvation as a policy choice.
