Kid kept teasing me while I drove him to school this morning. When I finally snapped back, he started singing Mozart's "Confutatis" at me. I will never tire of this.

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.

It’s day 29 of the shutdown and SNAP is set to stop next week. Food banks are already being overwhelmed. If you can, please donate to your local food bank 🍽️
💵Because food banks can purchase food at a discount, donating money goes further than donating food
📋If donating food, check for a wish list

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

“For every meal a food bank provides, SNAP provides nine.
We can’t replace that,” said one director. “We were not built to do this.”
Let that sink in.
Cutting SNAP doesn’t just starve families, it breaks the last line of defense against hunger.

Our local food bank is located on a state highway in South Carolina and opens 9 a.m. M-F. I hope to document the length of the vehicle queue when possible as the Republican SNAP hunger crisis approaches.
Mon., 10/27/25, 9:03 a.m. WX: rainy, 50F. Vehicle queue: ~1,390 ft (0.25 miles, 424 m).

The U.S. federal minimum wage was raised to its current rate, $7.25/hr., before my kid was born. Next year my kid will graduate from high school.

A reminder that losing SNAP will be particularly devastating to those whose disabilities require them to have special diets.
The disability tax is real.
Everything costs more when you’re sick, and special diets are no exception.
