This book is a great read on working homeless in America. Having been a paycheck or two away in my earlier life I thought I knew, but I didn't.
So many people are about to suffer because the programs we have aren't even enough.
When they're shut down, it's gonna be bad.
Some news: tomorrow at 9am, Ted Koppel + CBS Sunday Morning will air a two-part story on the devastating surge of full-time workers being pushed into homelessness.

I'll be interviewed along with two families from There Is No Place for Us. It would mean a lot if you'd watch and help spread the word.

I had no idea that as many as 1 in 8 Americans relied on SNAP

ONE IN EIGHT

I'm sick over my students, kids' classmates, & neighbors who are hungry right now

But I'm furious that we live in a society where *1 in 8 need food assistance as our status quo*. That this is our normal is APPALLING

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans.

Nero would be proud.

A local man, active in the county Republican committee set the record straight after ICE tried to claim widespread illegal activity was happening. He was working the horse race as security and was zip-tied along with his daughter, a child. www.ktvb.com/article/news...

EBT cards are working for people who had leftovers from last month or a stash, and it's also working for the cash side which does not seem to be affected.

This is in Idaho.

The fact of the matter is that helping people costs money and that is just not popular with corporations that, for all practical purposes, own a vast number of congresspersons.
Get money out of politics and we can move onward and upward

I think the govt. Is gonna do one of two things:

1) allow SNAP to expire, blame the dems, & hope for civil unrest.

2) have geezusgodtrumpdaddy jump in & *SAVE THE DAY!* & still blame the dems, but ppl will be so grateful they'll worship geezusgoddaddy even harder. 1/2

😭 This is fucking bad. People are out spending their SNAP benefits because they have been led to believe that the government is going to clear their cards. They're not going to have a buffer zone. I had a lady that had $300 saved up on her card & she is not spending it.
Said she'd take the chance.

Idaho will lose almost 40 million dollars in economic value in November alone.
Thanks 45.

It's not over...they're also still refusing to allow UN aid to come in.
ALSO putting up legislation to annex the west bank.

I wouldn't be surprised if we're heading to another dust bowl. If farmers can't farm, land is fallow.
Bare land.
There's no longer even grassland to hold the earth.
Climate change isn't stopping because we're stupid.
Even big farms will fail.

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it.

Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

The insurance companies that run advantage plans get a certain amount of money from the government each year. The money that they do not spend on the old folks they get to keep. Hence a high denial rate.
