I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

“Have you heard it on the news
About this fascist groove thang?
Evil men with racist views
Spreadin’ all across the land
Don’t just sit there on your ass
Unlock that funky chain dance
Brothers, sisters, shoot your best
We don’t need this fascist groove thang”

The GOP budget would cut the monthly benefit for fruits and vegetables for pregnant mothers from $54 to $13. Young children living in poor families would see their monthly fruit and vegetable benefit reduced from $27 to $10.

That would be about 5 apples, maximum fruit/vegetbales.
Per month.

Yes. This is a world I am not familiar with. Experts are being deported, while charlatans are being escalated to positions of authority. I fear for the health of our country. During this time promote experts in the fields of science, medicine, dietetics, nutrition…
excuse me...do we care that the person nominated for US Surgeon General doesn't have an active medical license?

I’m so confused by the folks who said that raising the minimum wage would increase the price of every day goods while also being okay with tariffs raising the price of every day goods…

I reckon they are okay paying higher prices as long as it doesn’t help anyone making a minimum wage.

Previous to the FDA, folks would put chalk and plaster of Paris in milk to make it appear white. They could also add formaldehyde to cover the smell and taste of spoiled milk.

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.
