Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

The Trump administration told states in a late-night Saturday memo that they must “immediately undo” any actions to provide full food stamp benefits to low-income families, adding to the chaos surrounding the anti-hunger program. Here’s a timeline of the SNAP developments that led up to this point.

Private planes make up nearly 12% of all flights.
And yet even with major air traffic control safety concerns, the DOT is planning to exclude them from its plan to order 10% cut in flights at 40 major U.S. airports.

On top of refusing to fully fund SNAP during the shutdown, the Trump regime has:
-Cut $1 billion from USDA programs supporting food banks
-Enacted tariffs that have caused food prices to rise
-Made the largest cut to SNAP in history
-Canceled the annual food security survey
Shameful.

Privilege isn’t the problem in and of itself; it’s only positional. The problem is extreme wealth, inherited or earned, curdles quickly into entitlement.
And when entitlement is widely distributed among the very powerful, it becomes everybody’s problem.
