This pup found a stick shaped like an old timey pipe earlier today and has already solved three mysteries. 13/10

a brown wire-haired pup stands on a wooden deck in a grassy yard. he looks at us with golden eyes and his right ear flipped inside out. he has a pipe-shaped stick in his mouth, giving him the appearance of a sophisticated and dapper gentleman. just give him a deerstalker cap and a cloak, and he'd give Sherlock Holmes a run for his money.

Remember how just a few years ago during the worst of the pandemic when we saw how the govt can actually do big things and saw that our collective health & well-being are intertwined, and then corporations got mad that they lost a modicum of power and helped fund a backlash of amnesia and fascism?

The effort to make us forget that Covid forced governments round the world to take fast, effective steps for the collective good is probably greater by this point that the efforts taken to contain Covid. America *ended child poverty*, then voted to reinstate it because it was off message.

1. You can't even get hot food on SNAP, much less use it for nails or "weave". It doesn't work like a credit card. Items that do not qualify do not ring up. 2. Let's call a spade a spade. That right there was not a dog whistle. It is old school pure uncut Reagan era racism. What he said was RACIST.

You would think that as a Xtian, Johnson would want those files published in order to punish abusers & bring justice/closure to the victims, but then you remember Johnson is a Southern Baptist, which has its own history of covering up abuse & victim blaming, & everything else makes so much sense.

SNAP isn’t a handout -- it’s a mirror. If 70% work full time and still need help, the system isn’t broken. It’s rigged. “Lazy freeloaders,” they say, while 70% of SNAP recipients clock in daily to subsidize corporate greed. That’s not welfare. That’s wage theft.

Nutrition assistance is NOT corrupt. Food stamps kept my family fed when my mom had to look for work after my dad got sick with MS. The Trump administration wants kids, seniors, and veterans to go hungry. They are REFUSING to use emergency funds to keep SNAP benefits going.

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
