If SNAP benefits vanished tomorrow, feeding 42 million Americans for a month would cost about $7.8 billion.That’s less than 1% of the combined net worth of the three richest men in the U.S. A reminder of how obscene inequality has become and how easily hunger could be solved if we chose to.

Adulthood is the most ghetto hood I've ever lived in. 2/10 don't recommend.

Bold of you to assume she thinks.
Knuckle dragging troll who just started watching basketball yesterday got two whole reply posts of BS I won't be reading. Played ya self. Take the sheet off ya head and CC's 🍆 out ya mouth b4 you address me again. Better yet, get off the internet and go play in traffic blindfolded. 😉👍🏾
Then jailed and re-enslaved courtesy of the 13A.
Maybe if copy paper ppl returned to the caucus mountains and hit up+down+up+down+A+B+A+B+Start+Select, it would fix this ghetto ass timeline. 😂🏔️
Y'all don't know that it's not gonna work, have you tried it?🤷🏾♀️🤔
Exactly, and it's working class huites who are fumbling their own bag bc they losing too. Gotta be some level of psychosis to elect for suffering just so a whole other set of humans will too. An epigenetic flaw.
The Ku Klux Klan Acts (passed in 1870 & 1871 to protect 14th amend rights) were a response to masked violent men who terrorized Black communities, violating their civil rights.The deployment of violent masked ICE ofcrs are tapping into this unique form of terror.

Same ppl who filled public pools with cement rather than let everybody swim. This is on brand.
This is because they's telling ppl the govt is controlling the weather. Sigh....
Too little, too fcking late. Republicans are fast-tracking the country into full-blown authoritarianism, fully funding the new Gestapo, and Dems are still hand-wringing about rules and decorum. Throw the whole party away.
With the updated RCV totals just released by the Board of Elections, our campaign has officially earned the most total votes in a primary in New York City history.
Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.
A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.
If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.
Hey. It's only the beginning of hurricane season.
I wish y'all would make it so you can add it to any service. If you get League Pass on the website, you can only access it on the app. You don't have the app. You gotta buy it again through another service. Not very nice to loyal fans.
Also PAY THE PLAYERS!
More than 20 years ago, North Carolina legislators passed a law requiring that landslide hazards be mapped across 19 mountain counties.
But after only four of those countries were mapped, lawmakers gave in to developers who said it could harm property values.

Shout out to the FEMA workers. Dedicated federal civilian employees who are responding to the floods in Texas despite their funding being gutted.
If Chicago were more comprehensive on defense, they'd win more. Angel is a dawg in the paint and will get to the bar but she's gotta have a system around her that doesn't leave her hanging. 🤷🏾♀️
Poor game mgmt cost the game. Marsh is not playing his players efficiently. Angel can't be a sentinel on the floor all night; you can tell by 3rd qtr she's winded which is when they usually start losing any lead they built up.
You know why.
Every time Angel Reese touch the basketball she's always surrounded by 3-4 players from the other team. And she's still getting the rebounds and mebounds. Ya fave could never! #WNBA
Those of you who carefully planned ahead & worked within the system with the expectation of retirement & healthcare & are now coming to terms with the fact that you will not in fact have those things can feel free to receive consultation on how to proceed from us neurodivergents for a nominal fee.
no one who has traveled sufficiently around the world can conclude that the US is the “greatest country in the world”.
It’s a lot going on yall. A LOT. But let’s refocus on two things:
A) the election was stolen by billionaires who’ve bragged about this
B) it’s time to lock in and protect our own communities.
NPR's Gaza producer faced Israeli military fire, private U.S. contractors pointing laser beams at his forehead and masked thieves as he tried to get food from a U.S.-supported group.

Mayor Scott is a shining example of what leadership for the people looks like. This is what happens when you care about community; when you invest in prevention, social resources, and comprehensive data instead of just increasing the police budget.
Well-funded communities are safe communities.
I've never been able to meditate. Brain too loud. 😩 I want to accomplish it one day.
Forcing people to have a job in order to get health insurance is just another form of indentured servitude.
