Honestly I don't remember *anything* remotely like this ever happening in those Schoolhouse Rock videos
Thanks for the villainous sound bite, Brooke, but recipients already have to recertify on the regular so I'm not sure if the point of this statement is just to sound evil, or ignorant, or maybe both
Brooke Rollins says on Newsmax SNAP participants will have to re-apply for the program.
Details are still unclear.

Normally I've been trying to push these on Fridays, but I am swiftly burning through what's been donated so far. I could use some help with sharing and boosting, but especially to cover the next three sessions this month immediately. Thank you.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.
That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.
Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

It’s important to remember our city’s history so as not to repeat it. Remember Mulugeta Seraw.
Ignorance and vitriol to our immigrant communities is not some distant past, it rears its ugly head once again. We must come together & support those who look to build a life with us. #RCTID #BAON

I simply refuse to accept that police ever have to look like this. this is just pure cosplay. it should be illegal for cops to be dressed like soldiers going to war.

Ladies and gentlemen, I rest my case
It WAS a good thing. It was Saturday night and his brother showed up on his front porch with an opossum in a sack. This is not hard, people.

Ladies and gentlemen, I rest my case
I love my husband to the end of the earth AND sometimes when he gets his country music on I confess to being a bit lost. A lyric just ran by that includes "a possum in a sack" and I can think of exactly zero circumstances where this would be a good thing

TARAN WANDERER by Lloyd Alexander had a HUGE impact on me as a kid. A joyfully democratic instead of a monarchic vision of high fantasy - and life. Tremendously grateful to have read it when I did.
performative reading, lack of reading skills, nobody's reading anymore -- NO!
tell me about a book that changed you
for me? the *extremely* ahistorical novel, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY which I read at 13 and was like, "Oh, art can be *everything* to a maker, for good and bad"

I was having a lovely walk thru my 'hood when I passed a neighbor on his phone. He was saying something like "we should tell all those people on SNAP they can have it for 6 months then they gotta get a job" & I SO wished it was a live convo so I could jump in & verbally shake some sense into him

Just renewed my @107ist.org @timbersarmy.org @rosecityriveters.org membership, which I have done every year since 2012.
Why?
Well, it’s def not because the Timbers are in an exciting place 😂
For me, it’s being part of a community of like-minded #RCTID & #BAONPDX supporters.

Hello PNW friends! We learn something every year in the garden, from our failures as well as our successes. Great garlic harvest? Let's put some of it right back into the ground! Accidental brussel sprouts in January after we thought they failed in August? Let's try doing it on purpose this year! 🌱
