Shortly before the shutdown, the USDA moved to scrap the Household Food Security Report, the nation’s primary tool for tracking food insecurity, and in doing so, stripped away the very infrastructure needed to remedy rising hunger in America.
The shutdown will worsen hunger—which the Trump administration just stopped tracking
Millions of women and children are at risk of losing food benefits.

If you're attending a protest, make sure to save this post or the graphics in the thread.

Knowing your rights, staying safe, & protecting others is essential.

Be prepared, look out for each other, and keep fighting for what’s right.

Stay safe out there!

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

Trump emphasizes meritocracy. And yet Vance? And most of his cabinet picks? Well below average/no experience for the role they are chosen for.

I thought Melania wore her hat to cover her eyes/reaction during inauguration ceremony. But hat prevents Donald from getting close enough to kiss her. So he has to do a weird air kiss. Well played, Melania. Well played!
