I truly do not care if food stamps cover junk food.
It doesn't affect me.
But do you know who it does affect?
The kid who wouldn't get a birthday cake otherwise.
The one who only knows what it's like to say
"no" in the snack aisle.
The one who just wants to feel like every other child for one day.
Let them have the cake.
Let them have the chips at the birthday party.
Let them feel normal because poverty is already isolating enough.
If you've never had to choose between groceries and gas, sit this one out.
Because food stamps aren't your business
But kindness should be. Via April Dickens

So just to be clear, yāallās transphobia did, in fact, result in a woman being attacked by a man in the womenās bathroom.
Male security guard barges into women's bathroomābangs on stall door demanding proof of gender.
Ansley Baker was born a woman & identifies as a womanāyet was still kicked out of bathroom & ordered to leave hotel.
"He demands my ID, which I gave him. Things still got heated. We kept repeating that Iām a woman," she said.
The Liberty Hotel in Boston put out a statement claiming that Ansley Baker and her girlfriend, Liz Victor, were using the same stall.
The couple say they are still waiting for an apology for the false accusation.

1 in every 3 people killed by a stranger is killed by a police officer. So you might think the biggest threat to your life is some random shooter or gang. But the one organized group that is most likely to shoot and kill you is the police, and itās not even close.

0regon spends $109 per day to house someone in jail, or $3,379 per month.
The average studio apartment in Oregon costs $980 per month.
If you support jailing people over providing housing, you're not only an evil person, you're an idiot.

Fun fact: New York City is one of the only cities in America where tenants are forced to pay for a broker they didnāt hire.
These brokers should learn how to make an honest livingā¦ or GET A REAL JOB
Behold the broker crowd ahead of a planned 9am rally opposing @OsseChiās broker fee bill that would require the hiring party pays the fee

I will never get over how covid gave everyone a free pass to wear masks everywhere in our massive surveillance state, and yet people acted as if the mask was what was limiting their freedom

Governor Newsom just passed a nearly $300 million budget to combat āorganized retail theft.ā
Since then: Retailers are admitting they lied about the extent of retail theft. And FBI data just released tells us retail theft is down & property crime is *lowest since 1961.*

Here's the 10 largest recipients of pro-Zionist donations in Congress. Zionism is one of the most violent cults in the world. It's a white supremacist ideology rooted in imperialism that exploits Judaism and the trauma of the Holocaust to commit genocidal atrocities.

#Labor4Palestine: A last minute unconstitutional court order barring UAW 2325 members from opposing the Israeli genocide of Palestinians will not silence us. The vote will go through, the union resolution will pass, and Palestine will be free.
