This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

“Walmart was the top employer of SNAP recipients in five states and one of the top four employers in the remaining four states. McDonald’s was among the top five employers of Medicaid enrollees in five of six states and SNAP recipients in eight of nine states.”

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.

Relatedly, this is your reminder that if a food pantry would help you, you should definitely go to one.
Food pantries, like libraries, keep numbers of how many people they help. Numbers help them get funding. You are not taking from anyone; you are helping the food pantry exist.

SNAP recipients told to buy shelf-stable food or go to food banks as funding deadline looms.
There might be claw-backs of any saved funds on Nov 1.

People who rely on the federal food assistance program might not receive their benefits for the month of November because of the ongoing government shutdown.

I had no idea that the guy who coined “gay pride” is the same guy that pied Anita Bryant. Fucking iconic, a national treasure.
Happy Pride everyone. I wrote a column about gay rights pioneer Thom Higgins, who called Minnesota home for most of his (too short) life. I really want more people to know the story of this remarkable guy. Please read and share (gift link)!

Every time someone responds to an obviously normative-aspirational claim ("this not who we are", "this is not America", etc) with some I'm-very-radical descriptive rebuttal ("er actually America has always done <similar bad stuff>") an angel dies. Like, no joke, dead. Direct causal result of this.

The major AI industry leaders stood next to Donald Trump at his inauguration. They talk about replacing artists and writers and creatives as a feature, not a bug. AI is deeply conservative and it astonishes me that people who are opposed to the conservative project would rely on it so carelessly

Here’s the newsletter, which cites an older report finding how plastic bag bans in New Jersey, Vermont, as well as Portland, OR, Santa Barbara, CA, and 18 cities in Pennsylvania have "reduced the number of single-use plastic bags used each year by around 6 billion.” (!!)
