Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Nothing to see here...just the US Secretary of Defense using his position to further "domination" of one religion over all others.
(Also, the notion that Hegseth is working any program that involves surrendering to a higher power at this point is unrealistic.)

People should scream bloody murder about RFK blocking vaccines for kids.
I mean it. Mothers and fathers should get hysterical.
I'd rarely advise this as a strategy. But, I think it's appropriate for this. What could be more clear and stark? It's not hard to explain to reporters.

NEW: The FDA may yank Pfizer's under-5 Covid vaccine this fall. Pfizer has the only pediatric vaccines for all kids over six months, not just those with health conditions. My latest: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Pfizer Covid vaccine for young children may not be renewed by FDA
Email obtained by Guardian says Pfizer was told approval may not be granted, meaning Moderna may have to fill gap

The CEO of a a multi-trillion dollar company went to the White House, openly handed the US president a gift made of gold, and his company got a special exemption to tariffs the president has illegally imposed.
Also, the Founders took bribery so seriously the Constitution bans it 3 separate times.

@schumer.senate.gov and @schatz.bsky.social have the ability to make this happen now: a media frenzy. They can do it by blaming Trump and Hegseth. On TV. And social media. Aggressively. With anger and direct blaming.
If a Democrat fired 100 FAA employees and put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers 8 days before an airport plane crash, there would be a right-wing and media frenzy for weeks.

Labor historians are very familiar with this trajectory in industries: "once an institution is majority female, the public perception of its value plummets." I hadn't seen it apply to HE -students- before, and so this is well worth the read.
It's not just in regard to college enrollment that we don't talk about misogyny, it's pretty much everything.
Many of us bloggers talked about Dobbs and the fury of women during the runup to the election. There was much less in the news and practically no notice in the polls.

Why aren't we talking about the real reason male college enrollment is dropping?
We would rather talk about literally everything else.

The thing to understand here is that oligarchs don't see people as human beings.
They view them as resources, to be optimized or discarded.
If they can get you to work longer and for less, they'll do in a heartbeat.
That's why it's never a good idea to put them in charge of your livelihood.
