As someone losing SNAP, I’m pretty pissed but I am more outraged that no one in this country is declaring war against these ICE/NAZIs and stopping their crime spree. Thousands of innocent, decent people victimized & no one is taking out the monsters responsible for their pending murders. WTF people?

As someone who works in a community kitchen feeding people who are without a home, or who are food-insecure.
I'm at 100 and have been for a while.

I don't understand the point of this Republican cruelty and evil. I want them gone.

“Young adults aren’t having enough kids” bro I’m employed full-time with a damn PhD and I’m struggling to afford both groceries and rent.
I love kids but I can barely afford my pets.
Want us to have kids? Try UBI, rent control, universal healthcare, cheaper child care.

My husband thinks he has just coined the term “organic intelligence” to distinguish it from artificial. Just as we now need to specify “print books” and “vinyl albums.” 🧪
On searching, I see the term, abbreviated O.I., is used in some therapy contexts. Petition to have it mean “human acumen.”

I can't remember a stretch like this with the heat index 100+ so many days.
Can't rely on the actual temp.

And then this shit just came out.
When you’re making over $700k a year, gaining $12k is nothing. It’s a nice vacation, redoing the garage, giving a niece/nephew a car.
When you’re making $23k a year, losing $1600 is “are we paying for food or for the house or for medical bills” territory.

Budzinski: Families making over $700,000 a year will see a boost of $12,000 almost entirely from tax cuts. Shockingly, households making $23,000 a year or less are set to lose about $1600 a year, mostly due to deep cuts to Medicaid and food assistance

Every time I post about ICE tactics, I get replies, “This is what I voted for.”
Really? You voted for a mother crying for mercy while her child is still in school—about to come out and find her missing?
There isn’t another way to go about this that preserves our humanity?
