if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets.
no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

We’re about to see a heartbreaking increase in pet surrenders on top of already high surrender numbers. If you can, donate pet supplies or to pet pantries.
As someone who has been on SNAP benefits in the past, what will happen Nov. 1 is that people will start diverting other funds towards groceries. They will choose to feed their families over making credit card payments, paying medical bills, car payments, etc. This is going to affect a lot of things.

As people have to shift their financial priorities with the loss of SNAP benefits, don’t forget that there will be pet food/supply needs. Colorado Pet Pantry is a a great resource if you are in need or are in a place to donate. Resources like this help keep pets out of shelters.
Our weekly Word of Thanks microgiving campaigns are pivoting, effective immediately, to feeding Coloradans in need as SNAP food benefits lapse. We'll continue this effort each week for the foreseeable future. Our first campaign kicks off on tonight's program. Details to follow.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.
That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Abortion Pill “Reversal” Is a Hoax. It's Also a Powerful Right-Wing Legal Strategy.

I know we just got a ton of rain this week, but Greenwood Village has been wasting water like this ALL summer long. Badly aimer sprinklers and over watering has led to so much wasted water in the streets every single day. And can’t forget to mention watering during the heat of the day.

A medicine derived from folate? Lemme guess… methyl folate. If you’ve encountered any MAHA person, you know they’re against folate fortified foods because it’s an “unnecessary additive” but here’s this worms for brains idiot blaming folate deficiencies.

I can’t articulate exactly why yet, but going after cell and gene therapies has a certain extra evil-ness to it.
Vinay Prasad was named as both the FDA’s chief scientific officer and chief medical officer TODAY. He immediately fired Nicole Verdun, who was in charge of cell and gene therapies.
“Now, there will definitely be concerns and questions about what this means for the division under Vinay Prasad”.

No no no. He doesn’t embrace miasma theory but actually is a purveyor of the terrain theory of health (also known as cellular theory). Just as wrong and misguided as miasma although very different.
Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. apparently embraces the outdated "miasma theory" of disease instead of the widely accept "germ theory" of disease, which may help explain some of the actions he's been taking.

It often hallucinated the size of contracts, inflating their value. It concluded more than a thousand were each worth $34 million, when in fact some were for as little as $35,000.
