![The Scream by Edvard Munch 1893
From Wikipedia: The Scream is an art composition created by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch in 1893. The Norwegian name of the piece is Skrik ('Scream'), and the German title under which it was first exhibited is Der Schrei der Natur ('The Scream of Nature'). The agonized face in the painting has become one of the most iconic images in art, seen as representing a profound experience of existential dread related to the human condition. Munch's work, including The Scream, had a formative influence on the Expressionist movement.[1]
Munch recalled that he had been out for a walk at sunset when suddenly the setting sun's light turned the clouds "a blood red". He sensed an "infinite scream passing through nature". Scholars have located the spot along a fjord path overlooking Oslo[2] and have suggested various explanations for the unnaturally orange sky, ranging from the effects of a volcanic eruption to a psychological reaction by Munch to his sister's commitment at a nearby lunatic asylum.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:mbczzndo4qkgkzstddagfz3e/bafkreicewekqcr3cw2qppa5a2ueet7awkpkdhpkhramtko36zoyatkhwlq@jpeg)

If you rely on SNAP it almost certainly makes sense to you that they just fucking hate you that much — it will almost certainly make sense to you that they want to starve you and blame Democrats for it. (Even the Solicitor General's own papers make that clear.)

Do not assume that Justice Jackson will vote against SNAP, as we discussed during the live what she did tonight was harm reduction.
I do not know if there are 5 votes on the Supreme Court for feeding 42 million Americans, but there are at least 3.

A good point as well -- having more kids puts more burden on women, removing them from the work pool and, in the mind of this administration at least, forces them into subservient family service.

They want the desperate rookeries of the Victorian slums. They want women to lose control of their reproductive lives, to make everyone even MORE afraid of falling into poverty all the time, to create a vast reserve army of the unemployed. A poorer country is desirable, if they get more power.

“I worked at HHS and I saw this with folks on Medicaid and the ACA,” Angie, 43, a former federal worker in DC who's currently on SNAP, said. “Being on the same side now has made me deeply appreciative of the position I am in and my resourcefulness when I know others aren't so lucky.”
