Some are mad because people are on SNAP and not working.
I’m mad because people are on SNAP even though they are working.

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now.
Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it.
Don’t forget this.

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.

I should note: by my count, this makes at least four clergy members *that I know of* who have been shot with pepper balls or rubber bullets fired by ICE/DHS agents in recent weeks — two Presbyterians, two Methodists and a UCCer.
Big year for photos of clergy enduring pain while protesting ICE.

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.
Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

RFK Jr. says America is terribly unhealthy. If you compare the US to, say, the UK the EU Australia, Japan, Canada, or any other developed country, he’s absolutely right. The difference is not vaccinations, though. Those countries all have vaccinations. The difference is universal healthcare.

In 1900, nearly 1 in 5 children in America died before age five. Vaccines changed that.
But Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s lies are fueling a public health catastrophe.
People will get sick. People will die. Science saves lives—misinformation kills.

It was probably always inevitable that the rise of a dictator in the US would be greeted with a shrug by many Americans and Europeans alike. But it doesn’t make it any less shocking to see.

Maybe an outbreak of cholera in southwest Kansas goes undetected
Perhaps the number of flu related deaths ticks up just a bit each year
But-ultimately, inexorably-the destruction of the CDC will lead to countless deaths
All because of two men

A budget is a moral document. It expresses your values.
Republicans want to sunset vaccines and slash SNAP, but keep private planes and tax cuts for the wealthy. Those are their values.
Come on.

If you are dumb or naive enough to believe the grifters on the right who tell you they’re oppose to immigration because it drives down wages for native-born workers, just ask them 1) if they support raising the minimum wage and 2) how come the GOP doesn’t? Go ahead.
