Trump’s assault on SNAP doesn't just starve families. It exposes a cruel, long-running political project of the right. Cammy Pedroja examines how withholding food aid reinforces gender and class hierarchies that keep women from equality.

Food stamps won’t go out in November, but Trump’s getting his ballroom, so it sort of evens out?

Not to rain on anybody's parade about the #Generals remaining silent today at Hegseth's speech, but historically silence has implied consent or agreement. Nothing about that says they'll defend the Constitution over obeying Trump. A large chunk of that crowd voted for him and remains extremely loyal

An issue not reckoned with enough is that of Christian on Christian violence. Most evangelicals consider the LDS (Mormons) heretics and traitors of the faith. Which is ironic, since ideologically
The killer had more in common with his victims than he did with his next door neighbors

2 dead, 8+ hurt after Thomas Sanford of Burton, MI, rammed a truck into a Mormon church, opened fire, and set it ablaze before police killed him. His home had a Trump–Vance 2024 sign and FB shows years of pro-Trump posts. Motive unconfirmed, but points to far-right politics.

"Christians" aren't persecuted in america.
but actual Christlike people are.
anyone, regardless of faith, who dares to commit the "sin of empathy," is promptly chastised and deemed a terrorist or a traitor to the state.
if Jesus HAD come back this month, ICE would have tried to detain him.

He raged at his minions that he needed something big to distract everyone, and he certainly got it.
The Epstein files must be so much worse than we can even imagine. Trump knows that even his cult won't stand for whatever evidence there is of his abuse and depredation.
Keep up the pressure.

#JamesDobson was a leading cause of what became MAGA and led to major suffering not only for LGBTQ+ youth, but for Autistic/ADHD/Neurodivergent youth as well. The Christian Nationalist right wouldn't exist without him. His passing, sadly, makes America a safer place for kids
A voice that weaponized scripture has gone quiet.
Dr. James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family, Family Research Council, & Family Policy Alliance, has died today at the age of 89.
May the thousands of children and those within the LGBTQ community that suffered find some sparks of peace today.

Definitions are hard. Just ask Diogenes.
But if modern medicine means we need to redefine the medical/legal definition of 'death', that NEEDS to be discussed independently.
But when you begin with, "we need people dead sooner so we can harvest their organs", then ...

My question for this always is: Why is Autism such a curse, that you’d rather your child die of a preventable disease than be Autistic?
Are we really THAT much of a net evil to you?

As an autistic person who has been trying to fight this antivaxer nonsense for over a decade of internet right now…I am so, so tired.
Please share: A sharp reminder that Health and Human Services secretary nominee RFK Jr. “is one of the most prominent promoters of disinformation that vaccines cause autism, despite dozens of rigorously conducted medical studies that have debunked the claim.” Gift article.
