I’m reminded of “Nickel and Dimed” by Barbara Ehrich and wondering how many Walmart, service sector etc employees who work full time but cannot afford to live on what they earn are going through hell.
A 2020 study found that Amazon—which shares owner Jeff Bezos with The Washington Post—is one of the largest employers of people on SNAP.
As SNAP funds froze, mayors and governors have pledged to supplement the missing federal assistance, while federal judges ruled Friday that the Trump administration should use contingency funds to keep food aid running despite the government shutdown.

Grateful Jesus lives in our hearts - if He were in America today, He'd likely have been sent to prison in El Salvador.

Happy Easter!

Peter Muteti, a young man in Nairobi, posted an AI generated image of current President William Ruto in a casket. Last night witnesses confirm that the police abducted him from his home and he remains missing although the police are claiming they have no knowledge of his whereabouts.

something that is especially clear if you have studied colonialism a bit: a load bearing aspect of maintaining even a semblance of democracy (or defending a sitting autocracy from democracy) is having a military that is unwilling to kill its own citizens

This is why I worry so much about Kenya. The police didn’t just kill citizens - they seemed to relish it.
