“Pausing” monthly food means people go hungry. THIS month. They don’t have a store of back up food. This is inhumane.
WIC. They are pausing WIC.

That's the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children. Last time I checked (a while ago), every dollar spent on WIC produced over a dollar in savings *in the same fiscal year.* For most people, though, feeding infants and mothers is enough.
Broader agreement that it to applies to discretionary spending payments (Head Start, WIC, etc).

Members of the U.S. Congress and Senate:

You were elected by the people of your state to represent them, not Donald Trump. You took an oath to support the Constitution of the United States, not to Donald Trump.

Do your job.

Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come.

Holy crap, this more or less happened! He’s out of congress!
It would be a real shame if he gave up his seat and then allllll the details came out.

If an autistic person asks for clarification, they are not:
- being aggressive
- being rude
- being obtuse
- trying to annoy you
- whatever ableist slur you are throwing at them

They are :
- asking for clarification

It's not about you, don't take it personally, just explain.

TRANS WARRIORS, LISTEN UP:

They fear you because you are TRUTH.
They hate you because you are FREE.
But they cannot break what is UNSTOPPABLE.

You EXIST.
You THRIVE.
And you WILL WIN.

I feel like most of the people saying these things are not aware that any prior infection with SARS-Covid-19 is considered a pre-existing condition on the majority of risk assessment tables. If you've had Covid, you have a pre-existing condition.
